Yes, you can lose money on bonds even if held to maturity, primarily due to inflation eroding purchasing power, the issuer defaulting, or if you bought a bond at a premium (above par value) and its premium wasn't fully offset by interest, though typically premium amortization brings your cost basis to par by maturity, preventing a nominal loss unless default happens. The main "loss" when holding to maturity often isn't a principal loss (if no default) but an opportunity cost – accepting lower yields than current market rates or having your future principal's value reduced by inflation.
