Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), announced that the company has increased its bitcoin holdings to 636,505 BTC and reported a 25.7% year-to-date yield in 2025. The statement was made on X.
“Strategy has acquired 4,048 BTC for ~$449.3 million at ~$110,981 per bitcoin,” said Michael Jerry Saylor. “and has achieved BTC Yield of 25.7% YTD 2025. As of 9/1/2025, we hold 636,505 $BTC acquired for ~$46.95 billion at ~$73,765 per bitcoin.”
In 2025, Strategy continued expanding its bitcoin treasury by raising $10.5 billion in the second quarter through stock offerings to purchase approximately 12,000 BTC. According to AInvest, these actions have reinforced the company’s reputation as a leading corporate bitcoin buyer and significantly influenced supply dynamics and market sentiment. The firm’s strategy of using capital markets to accumulate BTC has positioned it as a bellwether for institutional crypto adoption.
As of September 1, 2025, Bitcoin traded near $107,400, resulting in a total market capitalization of about $2.177 trillion. This valuation reflects strong institutional demand and broader macroeconomic factors, with BTC maintaining its status as the largest cryptocurrency. These figures were reported by the Economic Times and YCharts.
By mid-2025, Strategy controlled between 582,000 and 628,791 BTC, representing approximately 3% of the total circulating supply. According to Barron’s and Natixis, this far exceeds the holdings of other institutional players such as Tesla (11,509 BTC), Coinbase (9,267 BTC), and Block (8,584 BTC), establishing Strategy as the largest corporate holder by a significant margin.
Michael Saylor co-founded MicroStrategy in 1989 and served as CEO until 2022 before becoming Executive Chairman of Strategy to focus on corporate bitcoin strategy. He is an MIT graduate with dual degrees and holds more than 48 patents. He also founded the nonprofit Saylor Academy. According to the company’s official bio, his leadership and advocacy for bitcoin have defined Strategy’s trajectory.
Originally founded as MicroStrategy in 1989, the company rebranded in February 2025 to reflect its evolution into “the world’s first and largest Bitcoin Treasury Company.” While it continues offering business analytics software, its primary identity is now defined by accumulating and holding bitcoin as a treasury reserve. This rebrand and strategic shift were reported by Reuters.
