U.Today - MicroStrategy, the business intelligence firm with a huge bet on Bitcoin (BTC), has made remarkable returns for its investors. MicroStrategy's executive chairman, Michael Saylor, shared the significant achievement with the community in an X post.
MicroStrategy’s record-breaking Bitcoin yields
Saylor highlighted that in the outgoing week, MicroStrategy (MSTR) achieved a Bitcoin gain of 6,120 BTC. This reflects a successful return on its existing BTC holdings.According to Saylor, the company recorded a 1.36% BTC yield on its 45,000 BTC base, indicating that the 6,120 BTC qualifies as profit. Benchmarking the asset at an approximate market price of 105,000 per BTC, Saylor emphasized that it translates to $642.6 million.
This amount represents the gains from MicroStrategy treasury operations alone. As noted by Saylor, this notable performance reinforces the company’s commitment to "maximizing shareholder returns."
The MicroStrategy executive chairman clarified with his post that the company remains focused on utilizing Bitcoin as a core pillar of its strategy. That is, Bitcoin remains key in delivering long-term value to its shareholders.
Last week’s performance dwarfs that from two weeks ago, when the gains accruing to MSTR shareholders came from 1,440 BTC. That week, the cumulative value stood at just about $138 million. It is worth mentioning that BTC traded at approximately $96,000 then.
