MicroStrategy (MSTR) posted
an unprecedented net profit of $2.8 billion
for Q3 2025, largely attributed to
a 7% increase in Bitcoin’s value
and its ongoing aggressive acquisition of the digital asset. The company, which now possesses
640,808 BTC
, reaffirmed its optimistic outlook on
Bitcoin
, with Executive Chairman Michael Saylor predicting a
$150,000 price point
by the end of the year. Announced on October 30, these results highlight MSTR’s ongoing commitment to using Bitcoin as a primary treasury asset, a strategy now mirrored by more than 200 companies worldwide.
The company’s profits were propelled by Bitcoin’s rally from $107,000 in July to $114,000 in September, resulting in a $12.9 billion gain so far this year. As of October 26, 2025, MSTR’s Bitcoin stash was valued at $70.9 billion, helping the firm achieve an earnings per share of $8.42. This exceeded revenue projections, though it fell short of analyst EPS estimates. The company also
maintained its annual goals
of $20 billion in Bitcoin-related gains and a 30% return, reinforcing its belief in Bitcoin’s enduring worth.
MSTR’s
shares initially fell by 7%
during the day’s trading but recovered 3% after hours, ending at $260.51. This fluctuation echoed Bitcoin’s own volatility, as the cryptocurrency slipped from a mid-October high of $126,000 to $111,000 by month’s end. Saylor, however, remains bullish, pointing to declining volatility and growing institutional interest as key factors for Bitcoin’s future growth.
The company’s activities in capital markets further strengthened its financial position.
MSTR
secured $5.1 billion through equity offerings in the third quarter and another $89.5 million in October, fueling further Bitcoin acquisitions. CEO Phong Le commented on the company’s progress, saying it has “solidified its status as the world’s top Bitcoin Treasury Company.”
Saylor’s ambitions stretch well beyond 2025. In an interview at Money 20/20, he
predicted Bitcoin could hit $1 million
within four to eight years, and potentially $20 million in two decades, assuming a 30% annual growth rate. He attributed this outlook to regulatory improvements, increased institutional participation, and the rise of Bitcoin-backed lending products.
Despite global economic headwinds, MSTR’s approach has shown resilience. The company’s software division, which generated $128.7 million in Q3 revenue, also experienced expansion, with software licenses and subscriptions climbing 62.9% year-over-year. Still, Saylor stressed that Bitcoin remains central to MSTR’s strategy, with the firm pledging to “continue aggressive accumulation regardless of market price.”
The company’s performance has fueled wider debate about Bitcoin’s place in corporate finance. Observers point out that MSTR’s method—treating Bitcoin as a reserve asset—may inspire other businesses to adopt similar tactics, as the
Central Bank of Brazil
moves forward with its own Bitcoin reserve plans and other organizations consider comparable approaches. Increasingly, Bitcoin is seen as a safeguard against inflation and currency fluctuations.
