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.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has spotlighted a significant acceleration in institutional crypto adoption, driven largely by the surging popularity of exchange-traded funds and increased use of Coinbase Prime among major corporations.

Anchorage Digital, a federally chartered crypto custody bank, is urging its institutional clients to move away from major stablecoins like USDC, Agora USD (AUSD), and Usual USD (USD0), recommending instead a shift to the Global Dollar (USDG) — a stablecoin issued by Paxos and backed by a consortium that includes Anchorage itself.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has voiced concerns over the rise of zero-knowledge (ZK) digital identity projects, specifically warning that systems like World — formerly Worldcoin and backed by OpenAI’s Sam Altman — could undermine pseudonymity in the digital world.
