To hit the symbolic 500,000 BTC milestone, the company needs to acquire just 774 more Bitcoin. However, this recent purchase stands out as a departure from Strategy’s usual large-scale buys, signaling a more cautious or strategic approach amid current market conditions.
Bitcoin Yield Falls Short of 2025 Target
According to data from Strategy’s website, the firm’s Bitcoin yield—a metric reflecting returns from BTC investments—has dropped to 6.9%, well below the 15% target set for 2025. The decline in yield comes amid Bitcoin’s recent price dip, with the cryptocurrency trading below $80,000—a multimonth low.
Despite market volatility, Strategy has been aggressively acquiring BTC in 2025, purchasing 51,656 BTC across seven acquisitions. These buys have cost the firm approximately $4.4 billion, resulting in a BTC dollar gain of $2.6 billion year-to-date. However, this figure still falls short of the company’s ambitious $10 billion BTC gain target for 2025, currently 74% away from being realized.
Historic Context: Smaller Buys in Focus
Previously, Strategy’s smallest BTC acquisition was 169 BTC in August 2024, making the current 130 BTC buy the most modest since the company first entered the Bitcoin market in August 2020 with a 21,454 BTC purchase for $250 million.
By comparison, Strategy ended 2024 with a BTC dollar gain of $13.8 billion and a Bitcoin yield of 74%, highlighting the firm’s historically high returns during bull market conditions.
As the firm eyes the 500,000 BTC milestone and continues to navigate volatile crypto markets, investors and analysts alike will be watching closely to see whether Strategy’s strategy evolves or scales up in the coming months.
