Strategy’s Historic Milestone
On the verge of a historic milestone, Strategy has successfully fulfilled all necessary criteria for potential admission into the S&P 500 index, primarily renowned for its strategic accumulation of Bitcoin. CoinDesk reports, referencing S&P Dow Jones Indices, that a decision by the committee may be forthcoming as soon as this September.
Impressive Financial Results
In its second quarter of 2025, the company announced impressive financial results, prompting a revision of its full-year projections: $34 billion in operating income, net income of $24 billion, and earnings per share (EPS) anticipated at $80, contingent upon Bitcoin reaching a valuation of $150,000 by year’s end. As of September 1, Strategy reported retaining 632,457 BTC within its treasury, achieving a considerable Bitcoin yield of 25.4% for the year.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
The introduction of new fair value accounting standards in January 2025 enabled the company to acknowledge unrealized gains from its digital asset holdings, significantly contributing to its rapid growth as Bitcoin surged beyond $100,000 during the second quarter.
Potential Inclusion in the S&P 500
Notably, with all formal prerequisites for S&P 500 inclusion met, the earliest window for Strategy’s potential acceptance coincides with the index’s September rebalancing. An official announcement is anticipated on September 5, with any adjustments set to take effect shortly thereafter on September 19. If their inclusion is confirmed, Strategy will mark a groundbreaking moment in financial history, becoming the first company reliant on Bitcoin within the S&P 500, establishing a noteworthy bridge between digital currencies and traditional financial markets.
