With new reports just around the corner, it's the perfect time to clarify the true health of these businesses, stripped of one-off noise.

In reality, this was driven by a new accounting rule that allowed the company to book the increase in Bitcoin's value ($3.9 billion) as profit, even though the asset had not been sold. For investors, this means the figure reflects cryptocurrency market movements, not a genuine leap in the company's day-to-day software business.
