Strategy has reported a net income of $2.8 billion and diluted earnings per share of $8.42 in the third quarter of 2025.

The company also recorded an operating income of $3.9 billion, with most of its growth attributed to the performance of its Bitcoin holdings.

Strategy’s Q3 Performance

In a press release announcing the Q3 results, Strategy said that as of October 26, 2025, it held 640,808 BTC bought for $47.44 billion, with each unit costing an average of $74,032. Currently, the stash is valued at $70.9 billion based on a market price of $110,600, representing a $12.9 billion (unrealized) gain year-to-date as well as a 26% BTC yield.

The firm’s fundraising activity also remained in play, receiving $5.1 billion in net proceeds during the three months ended September 30, and an additional $89.5 million between October 1 and October 26. Additionally, its cash and cash equivalents stood at $54.3 million, up from $38.1 million at the end of 2024.

Strategy also reaffirmed its 2025 Bitcoin KPI targets, citing strong execution and capital markets activity so far this year. The company expects a 30% BTC yield and a $20 billion BTC gain by year-end, assuming a Bitcoin price of $150,000.

The largest corporate holder of the number one cryptocurrency has been on a buying spree in 2025, with its latest initiative including a $43.4 million spend to acquire 390 BTC. However, the latest buy comes amid reports that the acquisitions had slowed in recent months.

Digital Credit Focus & 10-year Target

During the earnings call, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said Strategy’s main priority is digital credit rather than acquiring other Bitcoin treasury companies. As a result, the firm wants to pursue actions that increase BTC yield for common shareholders while preserving return on capital (ROC) for preferred holders.

The business intelligence platform advocated for 30% amplification, which it hopes to achieve through preferred shares, with no leverage from converts or other debt. Existing convertible notes are expected to be equitized by 2029, with the company also planning to issue new preferred shares internationally, including euro-denominated offerings, while maintaining tax-deferred return-of-capital dividends for at least 10 years.

Saylor outlined a four-year target to outperform Bitcoin but emphasized patience and long-term vision in the cryptocurrency’s investment, calling a 10-year horizon the most suitable plan.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
