Strategy’s Bitcoin Yield Climbs to 15.5%, Surpassing 2025 Goal

In addition to the acquisition, Strategy has already surpassed its Bitcoin yield target for 2025. On May 12, Michael Saylor announced on X that the company’s Bitcoin yield had reached 15.5%. For the unversed, the Bitcoin Yield metric reflects the percentage change in the ratio between total Bitcoin holdings and the company’s assumed diluted shares.

Previously, the company set a goal to maintain a 15% Bitcoin yield throughout 2025, following an impressive 74% yield achieved in 2024. Exceeding this target early in the year not only highlights the company’s effective treasury strategy but also strengthens investor confidence moving forward. Furthermore, Strategy’s continued investment in Bitcoin demonstrates a clear and sustained commitment to its digital asset strategy. By purchasing a significant amount of Bitcoin at a time when it crossed a major psychological threshold, the firm signals strong confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
