Strategy reported holding 845,256 BTC valued at about $51.9 billion, representing 4.03% of Bitcoin's total supply, according to an updated snapshot shared by Michael Saylor. The company reported a 12.8% BTC yield year-to-date and a 9.7% BTC yield quarter-to-date, with Bitcoin trading near $61,410 at the time of the update. Strategy's 2025 BTC yield reached 22.8%, reflecting a gain of 101,873 BTC and a dollar gain of $8.915 billion, while the company's latest purchase added 1,550 BTC for about $101 million.
Strategy Reports 845,256 BTC Holdings and 12.8% Yield Year-to-Date
Strategy's Bitcoin dashboard showed a year-to-date BTC gain of 86,328 BTC, equal to about $5.301 billion based on the figures provided. Quarter-to-date BTC gain stood at 73,660 BTC, valued at about $4.523 billion. The company uses BTC yield as a measure tied to the change in Bitcoin holdings relative to its share structure. The metric is followed by investors who track whether Strategy is increasing Bitcoin exposure on a per-share basis through equity issuance, preferred stock, debt, or other financing methods.
The 12.8% BTC yield year-to-date came despite weakness in Bitcoin's market price. Bitcoin was trading near $61,410 in the update, while another market reading placed BTC near $62,600 after a weekend rebound that briefly pushed prices above $64,000 on some exchanges. The latest purchase added 1,550 BTC for about $101 million, bringing Strategy's total holdings to 845,256 BTC. The acquisition was larger than the 32 BTC the company sold near the end of May.
Peter Schiff Criticizes Strategy Bitcoin Acquisition Model
Economist Peter Schiff criticized Strategy's latest Bitcoin purchase, saying the company was down more than $6 million on the 1,550 BTC it had just bought. He argued that the transaction reduced Bitcoin per share, creating what he described as negative Bitcoin yield. Schiff said MSTR shareholders lost in two ways because the new purchase allegedly weakened Bitcoin-per-share exposure while the acquired BTC declined in value. He added that investors who are bullish on Bitcoin should question whether MSTR is the best vehicle for that exposure.
Schiff's criticism followed earlier comments that Strategy's financing model had become more difficult. He said STRC was trading below par and MSTR was trading below what he called the accretive threshold, making it harder for Strategy to raise capital without reducing shareholder value. Schiff argued that Strategy's original model worked when the company could sell common stock at a premium or issue preferred stock at coupons below expected Bitcoin appreciation. In his view, a weaker share price and softer Bitcoin market create a harder environment for the company's accumulation strategy.
Strategy Shareholders Approve Semi-Monthly STRC Dividend Change
Strategy said shareholders of STRC and MSTR approved an amendment changing STRC dividends from monthly to semi-monthly. Under the new schedule, the first record date is June 30, and the first payment date is July 15. Phong Le said the STRC dividend adjustment is designed to stabilize price, reduce cyclicality, support liquidity, and grow demand for STRC.
Bitcoin Demand Falls Toward Negative 650,000 BTC on 30-Day Basis
Combined spot and perpetual futures demand reportedly fell toward negative 650,000 BTC on a 30-day growth basis, a level seen only three times since 2019. The contraction is notable because both spot demand and perpetual futures demand are weakening at the same time, suggesting pressure is not limited to leveraged traders. Historical readings near this demand zone have occurred before unstable market periods. Similar weakness appeared ahead of the COVID-era crash and during the 2022 bear market.
Bitcoin's recent price action reflects that pressure. The asset rebounded about 4% on Sunday and briefly moved above $64,000, but the recovery later stalled near $62,600.
