Strategy's Influence on Bitcoin Holdings
Strategy, known for managing the largest Bitcoin reserves, recently showcased its quarterly earnings. Once a skeptic of digital currencies, Michael Saylor shifted gears in 2020, embedding the firm’s destiny with Bitcoin and converting into a fervent Bitcoin supporter. Holding a sizable 640,808 BTC, Strategy remains unmatched by rivals and intends to augment its holdings further. The company’s steadfast approach is to continue accumulating Bitcoin at every opportunity.
In a recent briefing, Saylor commented:
Strategy reveals its third-quarter results for 2025, reiterating objectives for the future. The quarter concluded with $3.9 billion in operating income, $2.8 billion netted, and earnings per diluted share reaching $8.42. Aiming high for 2025, we target $34 billion in operating income, alongside $20 billion from Bitcoin revenues.
