Key Takeaways
Strategy now holds 638,985 bitcoins after adding 525 between Sept. 8 and 14.
The company raised $18.3B by July 29, 81% of 2024's total, via equity programs.
Strategy projects $34B operating income and $24B net income for 2025.
Strategy (MSTR - Free Report) is the world’s largest bitcoin treasury company, holding 638,985 bitcoins as of Sept. 14, acquiring 525 bitcoins between Sept. 8 and 14. The company’s disciplined approach to capital raising through preferred equity offerings — Strike (STRK), Strife (STRF), STRD (Stride) and STRC (Stretch) — has been a key catalyst.
As of July 29, Strategy raised $18.3 billion, 81% of 2024’s total. As of Sept. 14, STRK, STRF, STRD, STRC and MSTR programs had $20.37 billion, $1.75 billion, $4.15 billion, $4.20 billion and $16.10 billion available, respectively, for issuance and sale.
Strategy benefits from the Trump administration’s announcement of the establishment of a strategic bitcoin reserve. Bitcoin, the most popular cryptocurrency, has been soaring due to increasing acceptance as a non-sovereign asset, as well as higher institutional and corporate adoption. President Trump recently issued an executive order directing the Labor Department to explore allowing 401(k) retirement plans to hold cryptocurrencies and other alternative assets, which is expected to drive retail adoption of bitcoin.
Strategy now expects to achieve a bitcoin yield of 30% and $20 billion in gains, assuming the bitcoin price hits $150,000 at the end of the year. Bitcoin yield has hit 25% year to date and was 19.7% at the end of the second quarter of 2025. In dollar terms, bitcoin gain was $9.5 billion at the end of the second quarter and $13.2 billion year to date.
MSTR Faces Tough Competition
For 2025, Strategy expects operating income of $34 billion, net income of $24 billion and earnings of $80 per share, based on a bitcoin price outlook of $150,000 at the end of the year.

As of June 30, MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms had 49,951 and 19,273 bitcoins, respectively.
Riot Platforms is a vertically integrated bitcoin mining company offering comprehensive and critical infrastructure to mine bitcoin. The company has been exploring the feasibility of developing a portion of RIOT’s power capacity for AI and High-Performance Computing uses. MARA Holdings has strategically expanded its mining capacity, acquiring facilities at remarkably low costs and reinforcing its vertical integration.
