Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, the company that's been buzzing about Bitcoin, just dropped its Q1 2025 results. And let me tell ya, it's been a crypto goldmine for 'em!
Strategy's press release, shared by the company's boss man, Michael Saylor, reveals a massive BTC-related gain of $5.8 billion! But that's just the start - they've got their sights set on even bigger goals for the rest of the year.
The company's Bitcoin returns, or BTC yield, have climbed a whopping 13.7% since the beginning of the year. And with the price of BTC still rising, that yield keeps getting fatter!
So, what are Strategy's plans for their Bitcoin fortune? They're planning to splash a whopping $84 billion to keep buying BTC! Half of that cash ($42 billion) will go towards fixed income, while the other half ($42 billion) will be invested in fixed equity. This move signals their long-term faith in BTC.
Strategy sees BTC as a vital part of their business model and a crucial treasury reserve asset. And they're not just talking the talk - they're aiming for a 25% yield on their BTC holdings this year, up from their initial 15% target. Plus, they've bumped up their 2025 BTC-related dollar gain goal from $10 billion to $15 billion!
Michael Saylor, Strategy's chair, has been a Bitcoin cheerleader for half a decade now. Ever since Strategy switched their traditional holdings like cash or bonds for BTC, they've been riding a bull market. Their stock price has skyrocketed, and their crypto-forward strategy has delivered share returns that have soared over 3,000% since 2020!
This latest performance report solidifies Strategy's status as a major corporate Bitcoin holder. And it fuels the fires of excitement among crypto enthusiasts and investors who see BTC as a solid long-term asset. So, stay tuned, folks - it's gonna be an exciting ride!
