MicroStrategy net income for Q2 2025 exploded to a staggering $10.02 billion, marking one of the most dramatic quarterly turnarounds in corporate crypto history.
Powered by Bitcoin’s meteoric 30% rise between April and June, the tech firm’s financial report has become a headline event in both Wall Street and Web3 circles.
The strategic pivot by MicroStrategy—now rebranded as Strategy—has paid off handsomely, proving that their aggressive Bitcoin accumulation wasn’t a gamble but a calculated bet on the future of decentralized assets.
In the words of Strategy CFO Andrew Kang, “The increase in the price of Bitcoin in the second quarter drove second quarter operating income of $14 billion and Q2 diluted EPS of $32.60.”
MicroStrategy net income shatters expectations
At the center of Strategy’s blowout Q2 report is the MicroStrategy net income figure of $10.02 billion, or $32.60 per share.
That’s a monumental swing from the $4.2 billion net loss posted in Q1, directly tied to a Q1 Bitcoin dip of 11.6%.
The company also reported operating income of approximately $14.03 billion—a jaw-dropping year-over-year (YoY) growth of 7,106.4%. Total revenues rose to $114.5 million, up 2.7% from the same period last year.

According to financial analysts, this showcases Strategy’s improved operational leverage beyond just its crypto holdings.
Bitcoin’s rally fuels strategy’s $26b in paper gains
Another major contributor to the eye-popping MicroStrategy net income was the firm’s ongoing Bitcoin strategy.
As of the end of Q2 2025, Strategy held 628,791 BTC, with an average purchase price of $73,277.
These holdings have generated unrealized paper gains of $26.63 billion, based on Bitcoin’s current market valuation.
Notably, Strategy’s BTC yield hit 19.7% in Q2 alone, pushing its year-to-date yield to 25%—a milestone it had originally set for the full year.
“In terms of yield and valuation, Strategy is outperforming even the most bullish institutional Bitcoin forecasts,” noted Markus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research.
“They’ve positioned themselves as a Bitcoin-native public company, and this quarter’s numbers are a testament to that vision.”
Strategic forecasts: $24b in 2025 net income?
Looking ahead, Strategy is not holding back. Based on the company’s assumption that Bitcoin will hit $150,000 by year-end, it expects full-year operating income of $34 billion, net income of $24 billion, and diluted EPS of around $80.
What’s more, the firm has now raised its BTC yield target for 2025 from 25% to 30%, signaling continued bullish sentiment.
If this forecast holds true, MicroStrategy net income could very well redefine what’s possible for corporate Bitcoin treasuries.
In a separate but related move, Strategy announced a $4.2 billion at-the-market (ATM) offering of Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC).
The capital raised is earmarked for general corporate purposes, with an emphasis on further Bitcoin acquisitions.
“Strategy expects to make sales of STRC Stock pursuant to the ATM Program in a disciplined manner over an extended period,” the company stated in a press release issued July 31.
This follows a previous STRC offering increase from $500 million to $2 billion earlier in the year.
Analyst reactions: Applause, but with caution
While investors have cheered the outsized MicroStrategy net income results, some analysts are urging caution.
“Strategy is heavily tethered to Bitcoin’s price movements,” warned Lisa Ellis, senior equity analyst at MoffettNathanson. “That’s a high-reward model, but also high-risk if BTC sees a sharp correction.”
Still, with a BTC stash exceeding $46 billion in acquisition cost and market gains now in the tens of billions, Strategy’s balance sheet is more crypto than corporate—and investors seem more than comfortable with that hybrid identity.
From a $4.2 billion loss in Q1 to a $10 billion profit in Q2, MicroStrategy net income has delivered one of the most stunning rebounds in the digital asset space.
As Bitcoin continues its climb, Strategy’s financial future—and its role as a public Bitcoin bellwether—looks increasingly formidable.
Whether you’re a tech investor or a crypto enthusiast, Q2 2025 confirms one thing: Strategy’s Bitcoin gamble is paying off in billions.
