At a current price of $67,515, Bitcoin, the first and largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is down 46.5% from its all-time high of $126,198 reached in October 2025. Bitcoin’s nearly 47% drop in a matter of months has put most corporate crypto treasuries under pressure.

Crypto analyst and Capriole fund founder Charles Edwards indicated a large chunk of Bitcoin treasury companies are in losses.

"77% of Bitcoin Treasury Companies are underwater on their Bitcoin buys," Edwards wrote in a recent tweet, adding that the "last time this happened was May 2022."
