The company led by Michael Saylor announces a strong performance of its bitcoin investments for the first quarter of 2025, but disappoints Wall Street analysts on its overall financial results. Strategy, the bitcoin investment company founded by Michael Saylor (formerly MicroStrategy), released its results for the first quarter of 2025 on May 1st. The company announced an impressive 13.7% return on its bitcoin holdings since the beginning of the year, representing a gain of about 61,000 BTC valued at 5.8 billion dollars. Despite this encouraging performance on the crypto front, the company did not meet Wall Street analysts’ expectations. Strategy recorded a revenue of 111.1 million dollars, down 3.6% compared to the same period last year and about 5% below market forecasts. More concerning still, the company posted a net loss of 4.2 billion dollars, or 16.49 dollars per diluted share, a figure well above analysts’ estimates who predicted a loss of only 11 cents per share. This massive loss is mainly explained by a spectacular increase in operating expenses, which jumped nearly 2,000% to reach 6 billion dollars, including 5.9 billion dollars in unrealized losses on its bitcoin investments. Andrew Kang, Chief Financial Officer of Strategy, has announced even more ambitious goals for 2025, now targeting a 25% return on bitcoin and a total gain of 15 billion dollars. To support this vision, the company plans to issue an additional 21 billion dollars of shares intended to finance new bitcoin purchases. Since launching its bitcoin investment strategy in 2020, Strategy has accumulated over 550,000 BTC for a total investment of about 38 billion dollars, at an average purchase price of 68,500 dollars per BTC. As of May 1, 2025, the value of this reserve was estimated at over 53 billion dollars. The MSTR stock closed the day on May 1 with a slight increase of 0.39% at 381.60 dollars, before retreating slightly to 378.50 dollars in after-hours trading. Nevertheless, the stock shows a gain of 31.5% since the start of the year, although it remains below its November record that exceeded 470 dollars. Strategy dominates the ranking of publicly traded companies holding bitcoin, now attracting more than 13,000 institutions investing in the company . According to some analysts, Saylor’s accumulation strategy, which hints at a new massive purchase, could propel BTC up to 300,000 dollars.

Although history should not serve as an indication for future price movements, one cannot help but ask it for advice, especially in times of indecision and lack of a clear trend. CryptoQuant’s latest analysis shows a promising picture when it comes down to the behavior of short-term holders (those holding their assets for somewhere between a day and a week), which have been growing in the past few weeks – something that was observed ahead of the two significant rallies in 2024. The accumulation trend mentioned by CryptoQuant’s Crypto Dan hints back at the developments that took place in January and October last year. Back then, STHs, which were absent from the BTC market, at least until recently, went on a buying spree, which was confirmed by the growing number of active addresses. What followed both times were rather quick price upticks for bitcoin, which soared to a new all-time high in March 2024 after the launch of the ETFs, and a new peak down the line in January 2025 ahead of Trump’s inauguration. “Now, a similar increase in short-term holder activity is once again being observed, which could signal the beginning of another bullish phase, just like in the past. Notably, this indicator has historically moved ahead of major price surges, making it a reliable signal of accumulation,” said the CQ analyst. After the April 7 and 9 lows of under $74,000, the primary cryptocurrency went on the offensive hard and exploded by over $20,000 to tap $96,000 last Friday. Its run, even though quite impressive, was stopped there, and the asset spent the following week or so in a tight range between $93,000 and $95,000. The lower boundary was tested on a couple of occasions, including yesterday, but it managed to hold. As such, BTC bounced off and spiked above the upper one earlier today. As of now, the cryptocurrency trades close to $96,500, which is the highest price since February 23. Aside from the STHs’ behavior, there are a few more bullish signals on the BTC front, including whale and institutional accumulation.

$SOL | H4 & H12 The H4 and H12 swing lows within the H12 FVG were swept, but not enough fuel to take the range highs and front ran them by $0.7, followed by many sweeps of the swing lows and to be honest I do not expect them to hold any longer, more tests = weaker it gets. If so, we have unswept H4 FVG below and then the ultra stacked area - H4 FVG, H4 bullish OB and H4 range low within the H12 bullish OB.
