The losses from their bitcoin position can exceed their current market cap.

Their Bitcoin holdings seems to add up to about half their current market cap, so that seems to make no sense.

EDIT: From [1]:

> “As of June 21st, 2021, MicroStrategy holds an aggregate of approximately 105,085 bitcoins, which were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.741 billion and an average purchase price of approximately $26,080 per Bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses.”

From [2]:

> Market cap: $6.08 Billion

So ~half, and average purchase price is still substantially below current BTC price.
