Do I have to claim the amount on a 1099 -Misc for an investment that i made

I made an investment in 2018 and shortly there after the company filed bankrupt.  It has been held up in court proceedings for almost 2 years and in December of 2019 I received a portion of my original investment back.  A far cry from the original investment.  I have not received any interest on the money, so why do I have to claim the amount on the 1099-Mics?   Where do I put the original amount to show that I have a loss?

Thank you,
