Morningstar’s Data Talk, citing the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index, reported that Bitcoin's year-to-date performance was approximately +25.0% by October 13, 2025. During the same period, Saylor said that Strategy's BTC "yield" reached 25.9% through its share-based accumulation metric. This comparison suggests that Strategy's issuance-funded approach slightly outpaced spot BTC gains.

As reported by BitcoinTreasuries.net, Strategy led corporate holders in October 2025 with approximately 640,000 BTC, significantly surpassing peers such as MARA with about 53,250 BTC, Riot with nearly 19,287 BTC, CleanSpark with around 12,800 BTC, Tesla with 11,509 BTC, and Block with about 8,692 BTC. These figures illustrate Strategy’s dominant position among public companies holding BTC.

Saylor is the co-founder and Executive Chairman of Strategy Inc. According to the company's official investor-relations biography, he served as CEO from 1989 to 2022 and now leads the firm’s bitcoin-focused treasury vision while remaining chairman of the board. The biography emphasizes his long tenure and leadership during the company's pivot towards Bitcoin.

Strategy Inc., formerly known as MicroStrategy, was founded in 1989 as an enterprise analytics company. According to its investor page, it now combines its AI-powered business intelligence mission with a treasury program offering investors varying degrees of economic exposure to bitcoin through equity and fixed-income instruments. This reflects its evolution into a "Bitcoin Treasury Company."
