9.4% BTC Yield? More Like 9.4% of My Sanity!

by

Strategy reports 9.4% YTD BTC Yield and $5 billion BTC Gain as CEO Phong Le says BPS guides capital decisions.

Strategy reported a 9.4% year-to-date BTC Yield and $5.0 billion in BTC Gain, according to CEO Phong Le. One might assume this is a financial triumph, or perhaps a particularly enthusiastic investment in a cryptocurrency that’s currently more volatile than a teetering stack of teacups.

The update focused on Bitcoin per share, known as BPS, as a key measure for the company. A measure so precise, it’s practically a compass-though one that points exclusively toward the nearest ATM.

Le said Strategy uses daily models to guide capital, equity, debt, and credit decisions. Presumably, these models are also responsible for explaining why the company’s stock isn’t currently trading in the same universe as its promises.

Strategy CEO Points to BPS as Key Measure

Phong Le said Bitcoin per share is Strategy’s “True North.” He made the statement in a post on X. The company uses BPS to track growth tied to its Bitcoin holdings. One wonders if “True North” is also the name of their CFO’s pet parrot.

Le said Strategy uses multivariate models each day. These models support decisions on capital, equity, debt, and credit. The aim is to increase annual BTC Yield through growth in BPS. A noble goal, though one might question whether the models are factoring in the possibility of a global crypto crash.

“YTD, we’ve achieved 9.4% BTC Yield and $5.0 billion in BTC Gain,” Le said. The figures show the company’s current Bitcoin-focused performance this year. A performance so impressive, it’s almost enough to make one forget that Bitcoin is still essentially a digital version of a very expensive gamble.

Strategy has built its public identity around Bitcoin ownership. Its reporting often centers on Bitcoin metrics rather than only traditional earnings measures. A strategy as bold as it is baffling, akin to running a bakery that only sells cake batter.

BTC Yield Reaches 9.4% Year to Date

BTC Yield measures growth in Bitcoin per share over a set period. Strategy uses the metric to show how its Bitcoin position changes against share count. A metric so convoluted, it’s a wonder the company hasn’t named it after a medieval torture device.

The 9.4% year-to-date BTC Yield means BPS has grown during the period. The company links this growth to its capital strategy and Bitcoin purchases. A capital strategy so sound, it’s probably written in Latin.

Bitcoin per share (BPS) is our True North. Every day, uses multivariate models to optimize capital, equity, debt, and credit decisions to maximize annual BTC Yield (growth in BPS). YTD, we’ve achieved 9.4% BTC Yield and $5.0 billion in BTC Gain.

BTC Gain reached $5.0 billion year to date, according to Le. This figure reflects the company’s stated Bitcoin gain under its internal reporting approach. An internal reporting approach so opaque, it’s likely only decipherable by a team of trained alchemists.

The update comes as Strategy continues to manage Bitcoin exposure through different funding choices. These choices can include equity, debt, and credit tools. A portfolio as diverse as a Victorian dinner party.

Le said the company seeks to maximize annual BTC Yield. The statement shows that BTC Yield remains central to Strategy’s Bitcoin Standard framework. A framework so standard, it’s probably etched into the company’s corporate mascot.

Debate Continues Over BPS and Senior Claims

Le also compared BPS with earnings per share, known as EPS. EPS subtracts interest expense and preferred dividends before dividing by shares. A process so meticulous, it’s like trying to count the number of times a politician has lied in a single week.

He said this process makes EPS an earnings measure, not a revenue measure. The point raised questions about how Bitcoin-based measures should treat senior claims. A question as complex as the average crypto investor’s understanding of blockchain.

The discussion also mentioned CEBE. The post said BPS does not subtract senior claims before dividing by shares. It said CEBE does subtract them. A distinction as clear as the line between a successful business and a Ponzi scheme.

The comment suggested that CEBE may offer another view of Bitcoin value for common shareholders. It framed CEBE as closer to EPS under a Bitcoin Standard. A Bitcoin Standard so standard, it’s probably written in stone-alongside the company’s other “innovations.”

Strategy has not moved away from BPS as its main guide. Le’s post stated that BPS remains the company’s main focus for Bitcoin-based decisions. A focus so unwavering, it’s almost admirable-if one ignores the fact that it’s directing funds toward a market that’s as stable as a tightrope walker on a trampoline.

The company’s latest update places Strategy’s 2026 Bitcoin performance around two reported figures. Those figures are 9.4% BTC Yield and $5.0 billion BTC Gain. A performance so impressive, it’s practically a mathematical miracle-assuming miracles involve a lot of spreadsheets.
