On February 5, MSTR released its Q4-2025 earnings report, which delivered mixed results relative to analyst expectations. Revenue grew 1.9% YoY to $123.0 million (vs. street consensus of $118.5 million). Operating losses, meanwhile, reached $17.4 billion (vs. $1.0 billion in the prior year). On an after-tax basis, this operating loss translates to $12.4 billion in net losses (vs. $670.8 million in the prior year), yielding a loss per share of $42.93 (vs. $3.03 in the prior year).

Revenue was driven by strong growth in the subscription services and product licenses segments, which grew 62.1% YoY (to $51.8 million) and 26.3% YoY (to $59.6 million), respectively. Product support, however, was a drag, falling 16.9% YoY to $48.5 million. Other service revenues also fell slightly, by 1.8% YoY, to $14.9 million.

As for operating losses, the main drag was Bitcoin mark-to-market losses, which totaled $17.4 billion as Bitcoin prices fell 23.3% to $87,509 (from $114,056) during the quarter. Despite the unrealized losses from Bitcoin, the company continued to increase its stockpile, which has now reached 713,502 bitcoins at a cost basis of $54.26 billion (at an average cost of $76,052) as of February 1.
