Following the acquisition, Strategy met its 2025 Bitcoin yield target, co-founder Michael Saylor said in a May 12 post on X.

The purchase brought Strategy’s BTC yield — an indicator representing the percentage change of the ratio between its BTC holdings and assumed diluted shares — to 15.5%, Saylor said in a statement on X.
