treasury firms, at least for now. During Strategy’s third-quarter earnings call, he said mergers and acquisitions (M&A) often come with delays, uncertainty, and hidden risks that make them unattractive for his company.
Saylor added that the firm prefers to focus on what it does best, including issuing digital credit, strengthening its balance sheet, and buying more Bitcoin. Strategy CEO Phong Le backed this view, saying M&A deals in the software and Bitcoin sectors often have hidden liabilities or integration challenges that can erode potential gains.
Transparent Model, Predictable Growth
The entrepreneur stated that Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation model allows both investors and analysts to easily assess performance. The company’s transparent financial structure, built around Bitcoin purchases and credit issuance, has made it one of the most closely watched corporate players.
The Bitcoin pivot is working out for Strategy as the company reported a net income of $2.8 billion in Q3, reversing a $340 million loss a year earlier. The turnaround came largely from unrealized gains in its $69 billion Bitcoin stockpile.
Despite the return to profitability, Strategy’s stock has dropped about 45% since its November 2024 peak, as investor enthusiasm cools over the company’s preferred stock program used to fund Bitcoin purchases. However, revenue from its legacy software division rose 11% to $128.7 million, surpassing expectations.
Expansion Beyond the US
Instead of pursuing acquisitions, Strategy is laying the groundwork to expand its credit offerings, including STRC, STRD, STRF, and STRK, into international markets. The firm aims to become a dominant global credit issuer. Notably, Saylor left a small door open to future acquisitions.
Also, Saylor remains one of Bitcoin’s most vocal proponents, forecasting that the cryptocurrency could climb to $150,000 by the end of 2025. He believes improving regulatory clarity, growing acceptance of tokenized assets, and easing global trade tensions could fuel the next major rally.
