Strategy, Previously Known as MicroStrategy, Earned a $5.8 Billion Profit on Its Bitcoin Investments in the First Quarter of 2025

The business intelligence firm experienced its Bitcoin yield increase by nearly 14% since January. The yield represents both possible income and capital appreciation from Strategy's investments in Bitcoin.

Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, has earned a $5.8 billion profit on its Bitcoin investments in the first quarter of 2025. The company is now planning to invest an additional $84 billion in buying more of the cryptocurrency, revealed Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.

The business intelligence firm’s Bitcoin yield also increased to nearly 14% since January. This yield, a measure of possible income and capital appreciation from Strategy’s BTC investments, is still being measured.

With the price of Bitcoin still on the rise, the firm has been making strategic buys of the digital currency.

Reports that Strategy has been changing its business tactics over the last five years. What started out as a business intelligence activity is now most famously known for its huge Bitcoin treasury.

The company’s latest performance shows that this strategy is continuing to work in 2025.

$MSTR announces BTC Yield of 13.7% and BTC $ Gain of $5.8B year-to-date, doubles capital plan to $42B equity and $42B fixed income to purchase bitcoin, and increases BTC Yield target of 15% and BTC $ Gain target of $10B for 2025.

Capital Plan Doubles To $84 Billion

Strategy will now invest $42 billion in fixed income and another $42 billion in fixed equity to purchase more Bitcoin, according to a report by Bloomberg.

This significant capital outlay from the company shows that it still has faith in the long-term value of Bitcoin. It is seen as a key part of Strategy’s business model and a fundamental asset for its treasury holdings.

The scale of this investment is a staggering increase on past expenditure and would see Strategy become an even more prominent corporate owner of Bitcoin than it is already.

Strategy has also increased its performance targets for the next year. The firm has been aiming for a 15% return on its Bitcoin holdings but now anticipates 25%.

Concurrently, the company raised its target for dollar gains from Bitcoin in 2025. The objective rose from $10 billion to $15 billion, implying Strategy anticipates the price and value of Bitcoin to appreciate considerably during the course of the year.

Strategy’s stock price has soared since the company began accumulating Bitcoin five years ago. Investors who bought shares at the time have realized returns of over 3,000%.

This latest performance report further cements Strategy’s status as a top corporate Bitcoin holder. It also reaffirms the beliefs of cryptocurrency enthusiasts who see Bitcoin as a worthwhile long-term investment.

The company’s move to double down on Bitcoin comes as other mainstream firms begin venturing into cryptocurrency investments. However, few have invested as fully in Bitcoin as Strategy has under Saylor’s leadership.
