Over the past few months, the company has announced several more impressive deals. Towards the end of June, it bought 4,980 BTC for over $530 million, while a few weeks prior, it stunned the community with a multi-billion-dollar purchase. 

Strategy has achieved a BTC yield of 25% YTD 2025. It is the worlds biggest corporate holder of the primary cryptocurrency, and currently it has 628,946 BTC bought for approximately $46.09 billion.

Due to the price increase of the asset, the current value of the holdings now exceeds $75 billion, meaning the company is sitting on a paper profit of almost $30 billion. 

It is worth mentioning that Strategy began accumulating BTC exactly five years ago. Its initial purchase included 21,000 coins, valued at around $250 million.
