Strategy's Q2 net income

Strategy’s Q2 net income surges amid Bitcoin rebound and bold 2025 forecast

Leila Al-Khatib

Strategy’s Q2 net income soared to $10.02 billion, marking a dramatic rebound from its Q1 losses.

The company, formerly known as MicroStrategy, attributes this surge primarily to Bitcoin’s 30% rally in the second quarter of 2025. With over 628,000 BTC in its treasury, Strategy’s bold Bitcoin-first strategy has begun to show major returns.

The company’s operating income reached an astounding $14.03 billion, a year-over-year rise of 7,106.4%. This puts Strategy among the fastest-growing firms in the financial and tech hybrid space. Total revenues for the quarter were $114.5 million, up slightly from the same quarter last year. However, the real driver was the appreciation of Bitcoin, reflecting $26.63 billion in paper gains.

CFO Andrew Kang confirmed that the company’s BTC yield for the year already hit 25%, exceeding their full-year goal.

Strategy’s BTC-first model pays off big in Q2

Strategy has now raised its BTC yield target for 2025 to 30%, anticipating even greater results if Bitcoin hits $150,000. If the forecast materializes, the company expects a net income of $24 billion, nearly 2.5 times its Q2 results. Diluted earnings per share are also expected to rise significantly, from $32.60 to $80 by year-end.

This optimism stems from the aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin. The average purchase price this year stands at $73,277 per BTC, reflecting strategic market timing. While critics question the risks, supporters applaud Strategy’s conviction and long-term view.

Strategy’s Q2 net income and Bitcoin bet draw Wall Street attention

To sustain its expansion, Strategy also announced a $4.2 billion at-the-market offering of STRC stock. The proceeds will fund further Bitcoin acquisitions and other corporate initiatives. The company emphasized a disciplined sales approach, aligning sales with favorable market conditions.

This comes after Strategy increased its STRC capacity from $500 million to $2 billion earlier this year. The capital raise shows the firm is not slowing down its crypto ambitions. Bitcoin’s performance remains central to Strategy’s success, and their growing treasury solidifies that bet.

With the crypto market warming up, Strategy is positioning itself as the most prominent Bitcoin-focused public company.

What led to Strategy’s Q2 net income surge?

Strategy’s Q2 net income skyrocketed due to Bitcoin’s impressive 30% rise during the quarter. The company holds over 628,000 BTC, and the market increase created over $26 billion in paper gains. These gains translated directly into reported profits, especially under fair value accounting. Additionally, their operating income reached $14.03 billion, and diluted EPS hit $32.60. After a tough Q1, this marked a major turnaround driven almost entirely by crypto market performance.

Why did Strategy raise its BTC yield target for 2025?

Initially targeting a 25% BTC yield, Strategy exceeded this figure well before year-end. With confidence in Bitcoin reaching $150,000, the firm adjusted its target yield to 30%. This adjustment reflects both current success and anticipated market conditions. If Bitcoin performs as expected, the company forecasts $24 billion in net income. This demonstrates Strategy’s belief in crypto’s role in driving corporate performance and their confidence in strategic positioning.

What is the purpose of the $4.2 billion offering?

Strategy launched a $4.2 billion at-the-market stock offering to fund further Bitcoin acquisitions and support overall growth. The company plans to deploy this capital gradually, depending on favorable trading conditions. This move follows an earlier increase in their STRC stock program from $500 million to $2 billion. The capital infusion supports their strategy of aggressively expanding their Bitcoin holdings, which they view as central to long-term profitability.

How sustainable is Strategy’s Bitcoin-focused strategy?

The sustainability of Strategy’s approach hinges on Bitcoin’s market performance. While Q2 results are impressive, a downturn could reverse gains, as seen in Q1’s $4.2 billion loss. That said, the company has demonstrated agility and commitment to long-term gains. By applying fair value accounting and setting realistic BTC yield targets, Strategy has mitigated some volatility. Investors should still assess risk, but current trends point toward a profitable crypto-aligned future.
