Michael Saylor’s Strategy Reports $2.6B Bitcoin Gain in Early 2025

Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), shared on X that the company has delivered a $2.6 billion Bitcoin gain in the first two months of 2025. This equates to 30,702 BTC, significantly lower than the $13.1 billion (140,538 BTC) gained in 2024—roughly six times more. Currently, Strategy holds over 499,000 BTC and aims to surpass 500,000 BTC soon.

Bitcoin recently recovered to $85,300 after a sharp drop below $79,000, following a 20% crash due to new U.S. import tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Last Friday, BTC plummeted from $86,625 to a low of $78,764. Despite the volatility, analysts assert that corrections are part of a bullish cycle. Saylor's remark, “Sell a kidney if you must, but keep the Bitcoin,” stirred reactions in the crypto community.

Meanwhile, financial educator Robert Kiyosaki called Bitcoin “a possible scam” but labeled the U.S. dollar and Federal Reserve as “bigger scams.” He accused the Fed of being a “criminal enterprise” and predicted an impending financial collapse. Kiyosaki reiterated his preference for Bitcoin, gold, and silver as safe-haven assets, while criticizing Bitcoin ETFs as “bankster’s money.”

With Bitcoin’s price fluctuations and growing institutional interest, the market remains dynamic, making Strategy’s massive BTC holdings a focal point for investors.
