Both Strategy and Tether recorded exceptional financial performance in the second quarter of 2025, supported by a rise in Bitcoin value and ongoing momentum in the cryptocurrency market.
Strategy company announced a record net income of 10 billion dollars in the second quarter, marking the highest quarterly profits in its history, compared to a loss of 102.6 million dollars in the same period last year.
The diluted earnings per share reached 32.60 dollars.
This significant transformation is attributed to the company's ambitious strategy to accumulate Bitcoin, as it now holds 628,791 Bitcoin on its balance sheet at a total cost of 46 billion dollars, while its current market value is estimated at 72.7 billion dollars.
The company achieved a return of 25% since the beginning of the year, including unrealized gains of 14 billion dollars in the second quarter alone, after Bitcoin rose by 31% during the same period.
The company raised its targets for 2025, adjusting the return target from 25% to 30%, and the profit target in dollars from 15 billion to 20 billion dollars.
CEO Fong Li confirmed that the performance reflects the success of the Bitcoin treasury management approach and the strength of the company's institutional financing platform.
CFO Andrew Kang added that these results are classified among the best globally in the public company sector.
For his part, Michael Saylor emphasized the importance of the United States establishing an official classification for digital assets to define tokenization standards and distinguish between commodities and securities, considering that clarity in classification will benefit the entire market.
For its part, Tether, the largest issuer of stablecoins, reported profits of 4.9 billion dollars in the second quarter, an annual increase of 277%.
Its total profits since the beginning of the year reached 5.7 billion dollars, of which 3.1 billion dollars came from recurring revenues, and 2.6 billion dollars resulted from gains from gold and Bitcoin.
The company's data showed that its reserves reached 162.5 billion dollars, compared to liabilities of 157 billion dollars, demonstrating a strong surplus that enhances investor confidence in the stability of its financial model.
This record performance of both companies confirms the pivotal role that Bitcoin plays in enhancing profitability amid the increasing institutional shift towards digital assets, in a market environment characterized by momentum and continuous growth.
