Michael Saylor: MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Strategy Generates $1.3 Billion in Profit in the First Two Weeks of April

April 15th, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor announced that the company had generated 17,585 bitcoins in revenue through the first half of April 2026—equivalent to roughly $1.3 billion at current market prices. Under the Bitcoin standard, Bitcoin revenue is the concept most closely aligned with traditional "net income." A accompanying chart indicates that as of April 15th, MicroStrategy holds 780,897 BTC, valued at $58.123 billion. BlockBeats Note: Bitcoin Gain is a key performance metric created by MicroStrategy under the Bitcoin standard to measure the value created for shareholders via its Bitcoin strategy. It refers to the value increase driven by the net growth in Bitcoin per share after the company raises capital through issuing stocks, convertible bonds, preferred shares, and other financial instruments, then promptly acquires additional Bitcoin. It is not "net income" in the traditional accounting sense, but Saylor defines it as "the concept closest to net income under the Bitcoin standard."
