Strategy and Metaplanet’s bold Bitcoin strategy is paying off handsomely in 2025, with both companies sitting on major gains thanks to BTC’s surge.
According to recent updates, Strategy has racked up over $5.1 billion in unrealized profits from its Bitcoin holdings so far this year. CEO Michael Saylor highlighted the milestone on X, emphasizing the impact of the company’s aggressive treasury strategy.
Meanwhile, Tokyo-based Metaplanet is also enjoying a banner year. Executive Dylan LeClair revealed that the firm’s Bitcoin holdings have generated around $191 million in gains year-to-date, with most of that growth driven by heavy purchases in the first quarter.
Both companies have taken an aggressive stance toward Bitcoin accumulation, significantly expanding their reserves. Strategy’s most recent addition of 6,556 BTC pushed its total holdings past 538,000 BTC, while Metaplanet crossed the 5,000 BTC mark after acquiring another 145 coins.
To fuel their Bitcoin strategies, both firms leaned heavily on issuing new stock and bonds. However, if they choose to realize those gains, hefty tax obligations could be waiting.
This surge in BTC profits coincides with Bitcoin breaking past $95,000, a move that has injected new momentum into crypto markets and boosted corporate treasuries that bet early on digital assets.
Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has expanded its Bitcoin portfolio by acquiring an additional 15,355 BTC for about $1.42 billion at an average price of $92,737 per Bitcoin.
While the International Monetary Fund (IMF) publicly claims that El Salvador has stopped accumulating Bitcoin as part of its loan agreement, blockchain evidence paints a different picture.
Switzerland’s central bank remains firmly opposed to adding Bitcoin to its reserves, despite growing pressure from crypto advocates.
Bitcoin investment products just recorded one of their strongest weeks in recent memory, as spot BTC ETFs based in the U.S. attracted over $3 billion in new inflows.
