Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has cleared S&P 500 eligibility after a record Q2 with $14 billion in operating income, $10 billion in net income, and $114.5 million in revenue. The company's consistent profitability and surge in digital asset gains position it for review in the September 2025 index rebalance. Strategy has reported 597,325 bitcoin holdings and a BTC Yield of 19.7% year-to-date. The firm raised its full-year 2025 outlook, projecting $34 billion in operating income and $80 in diluted earnings per share.

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has cleared all S&P 500 eligibility criteria following a record Q2 2025 performance. The company reported $14 billion in operating income, $10 billion in net income, and $114.5 million in revenue, meeting the benchmark's market cap, liquidity, and public float requirements. The adoption of fair-value accounting standards allowed Strategy to book unrealized Bitcoin gains, reversing years of impairment-driven losses [1].
