It’s All About Bitcoin, BabyNow let's talk Bitcoin, the digital gold that had Strategy pumping its fist in the air. As of the early days of May 2025, Michael Saylor and team held a whopping 568,840 bitcoins[1][2][3], having added another 13,390 BTC to their stash.
And it's not just about flaunting all that crypto. Strategy is being strategic with its funds, aiming to raise an impressive $84 billion to fuel its bitcoin acquisition plan[4]. To get that bread, they're planning on issuing common stock and debt[4]. Their ultimate goal? Aiming for a 25% bitcoin yield and a $15 billion BTC gain by 2025 end[4].
Analysts Keep the FaithWhat do the smart suits in Suit City think? Both Benchmark and Bernstein have big dreams for Strategy. Bernstein believes that Strategy and cohorts could add a cool $330 billion to their bitcoin stores over the next five years, with a more permissive regulatory landscape[2].
Meanwhile, Benchmark's Mark Palmer gives Strategy's aggressive expansion plans a thumbs-up[4]. Palmer thinks Strategy's first-mover advantage in bitcoin accumulation is a key part of their equation, making the premium valuation worth it[4].
