As Bitcoin continues its 2025 bull run, the effect on companies deeply exposed to the asset is becoming crystal clear. Two industry giants—MicroStrategy and Tether—have just released their Q2 earnings, revealing extraordinary gains fueled almost entirely by Bitcoin’s price appreciation and their bold crypto strategies.
While traditional investors debate the sustainability of BTC’s rise, these companies are proving that heavy exposure to the asset can yield enormous financial results.
MicroStrategy’s BTC Bet Yields $20B in Gains
Few firms have bet as heavily on Bitcoin as MicroStrategy, and Q2 2025 proves that their high-risk strategy is paying off.
The company reported:
- $10B in net income
- $32.60 EPS
- $20B BTC dollar gain
- 30% Bitcoin yield
- 628,791 BTC held, or roughly 3% of all Bitcoin ever to exist

These results were confirmed during the company’s latest earnings call hosted by Michael Saylor and CFO Andrew Kang.
According to their strategy presentation, MicroStrategy raised $18.3B in capital YTD, a staggering 81% of 2024’s total in just 7 months.
Their current market cap of $112B places them among the 100 largest publicly listed U.S. companies—unheard of for a firm that once operated as a business analytics provider.
Long-Term Bitcoin Accumulation Now Paying Off
MicroStrategy’s long-term accumulation strategy is visualized clearly in Bitcoin Treasuries’ updated chart, which shows consistent and aggressive purchases from 2020 to today.

This visual confirms a sharp upward curve in both BTC holdings and the USD value of their portfolio, particularly since the start of 2024. The blue line representing BTC per share has also trended upward, reflecting stronger investor confidence and performance.
Tether Becomes a Global Financial Powerhouse
On the stablecoin front, Tether released its Q2 2025 attestation report, showing:
- $20B in USDT issued YTD
- $4.9B in net profit
- $127B in U.S. Treasury holdings
These numbers make Tether one of the largest foreign holders of U.S. debt—on par with some nations.
While stablecoins often fly under the radar, Tether’s explosive growth and financial performance show it is now a core player in the global financial system, not just the crypto space.
Final Thoughts: MicroStrategy and Tether Are Leading Crypto’s Corporate Wave
The Q2 earnings from MicroStrategy and Tether highlight a pivotal shift in the financial world: Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset—it’s becoming a primary revenue driver for corporations.
While many traditional institutions still tread cautiously, these two giants are proving that first-mover advantage matters. MicroStrategy’s relentless BTC accumulation and Tether’s stablecoin expansion now serve as blueprints for the next generation of crypto-integrated businesses.As Bitcoin holds strong above $100K, the companies that built early exposure are now reaping historic profits—and setting the tone for what comes next.
