Strategy reported a net loss of $4.2 billion for the first fiscal quarter of 2025. 

  • While the company did not break out losses tied to its Bitcoin holdings, it disclosed a sharp increase in operating expenses (up to $6 billion). 
  • Software revenue declined 3.6% year-over-year to $111.1 million, falling short of analyst expectations.
  • Subscription revenue climbed 61% to $37.1 million.
  • Cash reserves stood at $60.3 million at the end of the quarter. 

The company also announced a $21 billion at-the-market (ATM) common stock offering to fund additional Bitcoin acquisitions.

Financial Performance Overview

Operating expenses for the quarter nearly doubled from a year earlier, driven primarily by $5.91 billion in undisclosed losses tied to the company’s cryptocurrency reserves. Strategy acquired 80,715 BTC in Q1 for roughly $7.66 billion. However, a decline in Bitcoin prices led to a downward revaluation of those assets.

As of the end of March, Strategy held $60.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, providing a short-term liquidity buffer.

As of March 31, Strategy held 553,555 BTC with an estimated market value of approximately $52 billion. The company reported an annualized BTC Yield of 13.7% and a cumulative BTC$ Gain of more than $5.8 billion. 

Furthermore, Strategy raised its 2025 BTC$ Gain target from $10 billion to $15 billion and increased its long-term BTC Yield goal from 15% to 25%.

To maintain its current pace of Bitcoin accumulation, the company launched a new $21 billion ATM common stock offering. By the end of Q1, Strategy had nearly exhausted its previous $21 billion program.
