When banks finally bless Bitcoin
and the experts agree it’s a good idea,
everyone will want to buy it,
no one will need to sell it,
and you won’t be able to afford it.— Michael Saylor (@saylor) April 28, 2025
MicroStrategy, now rebranded as Strategy, has reported a significant gain from its Bitcoin holdings, with an increase of $5.1 billion year-to-date through its treasury operations, according to founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor on April 26. The firm’s Bitcoin gains for the quarter-to-date, since April 1, 2025, stand at $492 million. Despite a significant yield of 74% since 2024, the recent quarter has seen a more modest yield of 1%, reflecting the pressure of the ongoing tariff war on cryptocurrency performance.
$MSTR has acquired 15,355 BTC for ~$1.42 billion at ~$92,737 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 13.7% YTD 2025. As of 4/27/2025, we hodl 553,555 $BTC acquired for ~$37.90 billion at ~$68,459 per bitcoin. https://t.co/5OOs3UdWLg

Saylor remains a strong advocate for Bitcoin, predicting that the cryptocurrency will reach a bullish price of $13 million within the next 20 years. He recently pointed out that traders could still purchase Bitcoin for “less than $0.1 million,” with Bitcoin trading at $94,346.08 at the time of the report. This marks a recovery above the “Liberation Day” level of $87,000 on April 2, but still 13% lower than the record high of $108,786 reached on January 20.

Strategy sees gains in Bitcoin holdings
MicroStrategy, which began acquiring Bitcoin in August 2020, is currently the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with 538,000 BTC worth approximately $50.7 billion on its balance sheet. The next largest Bitcoin holders are the crypto mining companies MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms, with 47,600 BTC and 19,223 BTC respectively.
A new challenger in the Bitcoin treasury arena is emerging. Twenty One, a newly launched company, is set to go public holding 42,000 BTC. This company is a joint venture of finance giants such as Cantor Fitzgerald and SoftBank Group.
Howard Lutnick, the former Cantor Fitzgerald CEO, recently stepped down when appointed as the Commerce Secretary by President Donald Trump, passing the chairmanship to his son Brandon. This robust activity in the corporate adoption of Bitcoin showcases a growing endorsement of the cryptocurrency as a strategic asset for treasury operations.
