Strategy Predicts Bitcoin Will Hit $150,000 by Year-End 2025

Strategy (MSTR), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, reported Q2 operating earnings of $14 billion and net income of $10 billion, driven by a 30% rise in BTC prices during the quarter.

The company now holds 628,791 BTC and expects Bitcoin to reach $150,000 by the end of 2025. Strategy has raised its full-year BTC yield target to 30% and forecasts $34 billion in operating income and $24 billion in net income.

The firm plans to raise an additional $4.2 billion through a preferred stock offering to buy more Bitcoin under its “42/42” plan. CEO Phong Le said Strategy is among the most misunderstood and undervalued stocks in the S&P 500 despite posting the ninth-highest operating income among its peers. Strategy’s software unit generated $114 million in revenue, while its BTC dollar gain now exceeds $13 billion. MSTR shares closed at $401.86 and dipped 1.4% in after-hours trading.
