Strategy Reaps $2.6 Billion Bitcoin Gain in Early 2025, On Track to Surpass 500,000 BTC

Michael Saylor, the executive chairman and co-founder of Strategy (previously known as MicroStrategy), recently updated his followers on the company’s performance in the first two months of 2025.

In a post on X, Saylor highlighted that the company has achieved a Bitcoin gain of $2.6 billion, adding over 30,000 BTC to its holdings.

While the gains in early 2025 are impressive, they still fall short of the remarkable $13.1 billion in Bitcoin gains Strategy made in 2024, which translated to roughly 140,000 BTC.

Saylor shared detailed figures showing that Strategy now holds a total of nearly 499,000 BTC and has plans to exceed the 500,000 BTC milestone soon.

The company’s continuous success in Bitcoin investment remains a major aspect of its growth strategy.

Despite the impressive gains, Peter Schiff, a well-known Bitcoin skeptic, has pointed to significant withdrawals from Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a major risk to Michael Saylor’s strategy.

He argues that such redemptions could put downward pressure on Bitcoin’s price, exacerbating losses for firms like MicroStrategy, which has accumulated a large amount of Bitcoin in its reserves.
