Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, earned a $5.8 billion profit on its Bitcoin investments in the first quarter of 2025. The company now wants to pour even more money into the cryptocurrency, according to details provided by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
Bitcoin Yield Expands As Company Increases Holdings
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. With prices of Bitcoin still on the rise, the firm continues to make strategic buys of the digital currency.
According to reports, Strategy has changed its business tactics in the last five years. What began as a business intelligence activity is now most famously associated with enormous Bitcoin holdings. The latest performance of the company indicates this strategy continues 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 from 15% to 25% and BTC $ Gain target from $10B to $15B for 2025. https://t.co/LgeMEd6Dr5

Investment Plan Doubles To $84 Billion
Strategy said that it will now invest $84 billion in purchasing additional Bitcoin, according to Bloomberg. The company’s move is to invest half the funds ($42 billion) in fixed income and the remaining half ($42 billion) in fixed equity.
This significant capital outlay indicates Strategy still has faith in the long-term worth of Bitcoin. The company considers Bitcoin a key component to its business model and a fundamental asset for its treasury holdings.
The scale of this investment is a staggering increase on past expenditure. If implemented, it would leave Strategy an even more prominent corporate owner of Bitcoin than it is currently.
Performance Targets Leap From 15% To 25%
Strategy has increased its Bitcoin performance targets for the next year. The firm has been targeting 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.
Stock Price Surges More Than 3,000% Since 2020
Strategy’s stock price has risen dramatically since the company initially acquired Bitcoin five years ago. Investors who purchased shares at the time have achieved returns of over 3,000%.
The aggressive and early move by the company to purchase Bitcoin has been responsible for much of this impressive stock performance. As other companies hesitated, Strategy boldly ventured into cryptocurrency.
This latest performance report solidifies Strategy’s position as a top corporate Bitcoin holder. It also reinforces confidence among cryptocurrency enthusiasts who view Bitcoin as a worthwhile long-term investment.
The company’s ongoing doubling down on Bitcoin is occurring as other mainstream firms have begun venturing into cryptocurrency investments. Yet, few have invested as fully in Bitcoin as Strategy has on Saylor’s watch.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
