Strategy (MSTR) Spends $1.57 Billion to Buy 22,337 More Bitcoin, Holdings Reach 738,731 BTC<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Strategy, the bitcoin treasury company led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, purchased another 22,337 bitcoin for about $1.57 billion last week, continuing one of the largest corporate accumulation strategies in the crypto market.<\/p>\n

The company disclosed in a filing<\/a> with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that the purchases took place between March 9 and March 13 at an average price of $70,194 per coin. The acquisition brings the firm\u2019s total holdings to 761,068 bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Strategy said its cumulative bitcoin holdings were acquired for roughly $57.61 billion at an average price of about $75,696 per coin. At the current price near $74,000, the company\u2019s holdings carry a market value close to $50 billion.<\/p>\n

The stash represents more than 3.4% of the fixed 21 million supply of Bitcoin, reinforcing MSTR\u2019s status as the largest corporate holder of the asset.<\/p>\n

Last week, Strategy purchased<\/a> 17,994 bitcoin for about $1.28 billion at an average price of $70,946 per coin, bringing the company\u2019s total holdings to 738,731 bitcoin.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Strategy\u2019s stock<\/a> (MSTR) is trading up 4.40% in pre-market. Bitcoin is trading slightly shy of $74,000.<\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s stock sales and stock issuance<\/h2>\n

The latest purchases were financed through a mix of equity sales and preferred stock issuance. <\/p>\n

The purchases were funded through at-the-market sales of Strategy\u2019s Class A common stock, MSTR, along with issuances of its perpetual Stretch preferred shares, STRC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The firm also operates several preferred-equity issuance programs tied to its capital-raising strategy. These include at-the-market programs for STRK, STRC, STRF, and STRD totaling $21 billion, $4.2 billion, $2.1 billion, and $4.2 billion respectively. <\/p>\n

Those offerings sit alongside the company\u2019s broader \u201c42\/42\u201d initiative<\/a>, a plan to raise $84 billion through a combination of equity sales and convertible notes to fund additional bitcoin purchases through 2027.<\/p>\n

Each preferred share class targets a different investor profile. <\/p>\n

STRD carries a 10% non-cumulative dividend and is non-convertible, positioning it as the highest-risk, highest-return option. <\/p>\n

STRK pays an 8% non-cumulative dividend and includes a conversion feature that offers potential equity upside. STRF, also non-convertible, provides a 10% cumulative dividend and is structured as the most conservative of the offerings. <\/p>\n

STRC features a cumulative dividend with a variable rate paid monthly, designed to adjust over time and keep the shares trading close to their $100 par value.<\/p>\n

Saylor hinted at the acquisition before the official disclosure in a post on social media that referenced Strategy\u2019s bitcoin tracker. The message stated that \u201cStretch the Orange Dots.,\u201d a reference to the firm continuing to buy throughout the price changes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
