Over the past five years, Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy, has been buying Bitcoin (BTC) in large amounts. Bitcoin is a digital currency that anyone can use to make secure money transactions online. You can learn more about Bitcoin here.
Recently, Michael Saylor, the co-founder of the company, shared news about their latest purchase. They bought 10,645 more Bitcoins for $980.3 million. Each Bitcoin cost an average of $92,098. With this new addition, their total collection has grown to 671,268 Bitcoins. Overall, buying all this Bitcoin has cost the company $50.33 billion.
Even though Bitcoin’s price has dropped a bit in the last few weeks, Strategy’s Bitcoin stash is now worth over $60 billion. This means the company has made an unrealized profit of $10 billion. When we say “unrealized profit,” it means they haven’t sold their Bitcoin yet, so the profit is only on paper.
Michael Saylor announced this news on Twitter. He said, “Strategy has acquired 10,645 BTC for ~$980.3 million at ~$92,098 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 24.9% Year-To-Date (YTD) 2025. As of 12/14/2025, we hodl 671,268 $BTC acquired for ~$50.33 billion at ~$74,972 per bitcoin,” and added the company’s stock market symbols in the tweet.

What Is Year-To-Date (YTD)?
Year-To-Date or YTD is a term that refers to how something, like profits, has performed since the start of the current year. For example, if today is December in 2025, YTD would calculate a company’s progress from January up to now. More about YTD is available here.
How Is Strategy’s Stock Doing?
Unlike its Bitcoin investments, the company’s stock price tells a different story. Its stock, represented as MSTR, has dropped a lot in value. In July, the price per share was over $450. Now, as of Friday, it has dropped to $176 per share.
Since January 1st of this year, the stock price has gone down more than 41%. This is the company’s worst year since it began buying Bitcoin as part of its money-saving plan. This plan, known as a Bitcoin reserve strategy, uses Bitcoin instead of more traditional savings options, like gold or cash. You can learn more about Bitcoin reserve strategy here.
