Strategy (previously known as Microstrategy) MSTR, the bitcoin treasury company led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, disclosed Monday that it acquired an additional 24,869 bitcoin for approximately $2.01 billion between May 11 and May 17.</p>
<p dir="auto">According to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company purchased the bitcoin at an average price of roughly $80,985 per coin.</p>
<p dir="auto">The latest acquisition brings Strategy’s total holdings to approximately 843,738 BTC, worth about $65.3 billion based on current prices.</p>
<p dir="auto">The company said it has spent roughly $63.9 billion acquiring bitcoin at an average purchase price of approximately $75,700 per bitcoin, including fees and expenses.</p>
<p dir="auto">Strategy’s holdings now represent more than 4% of bitcoin’s total 21 million supply cap, underscoring the company’s increasingly aggressive treasury strategy centered on the cryptocurrency.</p>
<p dir="auto">Stock sales fuel latest bitcoin acquisition</p>
<p dir="auto">The purchases were financed primarily through Strategy’s ongoing at-the-market stock sale programs.</p>
<p dir="auto">The company raised approximately $2.03 billion through a combination of common stock and preferred stock offerings over a six-day period ending May 17.</p>
<p dir="auto">Strategy sold around 19.95 million shares through its STRC preferred stock program, generating roughly $1.95 billion in net proceeds.</p>
<p dir="auto">It also sold approximately 430,344 shares of its Class A common stock, MSTR, raising an additional $83.7 million.</p>
<p dir="auto">The company immediately deployed approximately $2.01 billion of the proceeds into bitcoin purchases.</p>
<p dir="auto">Strategy continues to maintain significant fundraising capacity through its multi-tiered at-the-market (ATM) programs.</p>
<p dir="auto">According to company disclosures, approximately $51.5 billion remains available across multiple equity issuance programs, including roughly $26.3 billion tied to MSTR and $17.5 billion connected to STRC.</p>
<p dir="auto">The STRC preferred stock has increasingly become the company’s primary financing tool for bitcoin purchases.</p>
<p dir="auto">The variable-rate cumulative preferred stock currently offers an annualized dividend yield of roughly 11.5%.</p>
<p dir="auto">Strategy recently proposed shifting STRC dividend payments from monthly to twice-monthly distributions, stating the move could “lead to reduced reinvestment lag, enhanced liquidity, market efficiency, and increased price stability.”</p>
<p dir="auto">Saylor signals purchase ahead of disclosure</p>
<p dir="auto">Ahead of Monday’s filing, Saylor again hinted at the acquisition through social media.</p>
<p dir="auto">On Sunday, he posted an update tied to Strategy’s bitcoin acquisition tracker alongside the phrase “Big dot energy,” which investors interpreted as signaling another substantial purchase announcement.</p>
<p dir="auto">Analysts at K33 recently argued that strong demand for STRC may be contributing to recurring mid-month bitcoin buying pressure as Strategy continues issuing shares and using proceeds to accumulate additional BTC ahead of dividend-related timelines.</p>
<p dir="auto">The company has also continued reshaping its balance sheet alongside its bitcoin acquisition strategy.</p>
<p dir="auto">On Friday, Strategy agreed to repurchase approximately $1.5 billion face value of its zero-coupon 2029 convertible notes for about $1.38 billion, retiring the debt at roughly 92 cents on the dollar.</p>
<p dir="auto">The filing listed bitcoin sales as one of several potential funding sources for the transaction, a notable disclosure given Saylor’s previously stated “net accumulator” policy regarding bitcoin holdings.</p>
<p dir="auto">Bitcoin treasury model expands across corporate sector</p>
<p dir="auto">Strategy remains the dominant player among public companies adopting bitcoin treasury strategies, though the model has expanded significantly across corporate markets.</p>
<p dir="auto">According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, approximately 196 public companies have adopted some form of bitcoin acquisition model, with 84 companies currently maintaining active treasury strategies.</p>
<p dir="auto">Other major corporate holders include Coinbase, MARA Holdings, Riot Platforms, and Hut 8.</p>
<p dir="auto">Despite the continued institutional adoption trend, many bitcoin treasury-related stocks remain well below their 2025 highs as investor enthusiasm has cooled alongside broader cryptocurrency market volatility.</p>
<p dir="auto">Strategy shares declined approximately 6.3% last week, closing Friday at around $177.42, though the stock remains up roughly 12.89% year to date.</p>
<p dir="auto">Bitcoin itself recently fell below $78,000 amid renewed inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions surrounding Iran and global energy markets.<br />
