    You can propagate these from the running stolons that the plant will produce, or you can propagate them from seed.

    That actually looks like what is known as the mock strawberry (Potentilla indica). The upright flowers and berries differ from those of the hanging wild strawberry. The blooms will be yellow instead of white, as well. They are edible, though don't have much of a taste at all. Wild strawberries already get invasive given the right conditions, but these will spread a little more rapidly. They aren't as nutritious as wild strawberries, and beneficial garden friends usually avoid pollinating them, in favor of the white flowers of a strawberry.

    If this does have white flowers, and I'm misidentifying it, then feel free to keep it. Otherwise, I'd try to get rid of them in trade for actual wild strawberries.
