Strategy, the Bitcoin <\/a>(BTC) proxy firm formerly known as MicroStrategy and founded by Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor, has announced a significant new acquisition of the market\u2019s leading cryptocurrency on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strategy Capitalizes On Significant New BTC Acquisition<\/h2>\n

In a recent filing <\/a>with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company revealed it purchased an additional 4,020 BTC for $427.1 million, translating to an average price of $106,237 per token.<\/p>\n

This acquisition comes on the heels of Bitcoin reaching a new record high close to $112,000 last week, driven by renewed inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and favorable regulatory developments under President Trump\u2019s administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saylor shared <\/a>the news on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), noting that the latest purchase brings Strategy\u2019s total Bitcoin holdings to approximately 580,250 BTC, acquired for a total investment of $40.6 billion, at an average price of $69,979 per token.<\/p>\n

As Strategy continues its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, the company is also planning to raise additional capital to further enhance its holdings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

$7.7 Billion Gain From Bitcoin Investments<\/h2>\n

As reported <\/a>by NewsBTC last Friday, Strategy announced the launch of a $2.1 billion At-The-Market (ATM) equity program for its preferred stock, Strife (STRF), deemed as a crucial step toward the firm\u2019s long-term goal of establishing a strong Bitcoin-backed financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n

During an investor update, CEO Phong Lee, alongside Executive Chairman Saylor, highlighted the impressive year-to-date performance of the firm\u2019s Bitcoin-linked securities, Strike (STRK) and Strife, as key factors driving this expansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lee emphasized, \u201cWe\u2019re currently at a 16.3% BTC yield for the year, against a 25% target,\u201d indicating the firm\u2019s ambitious goals. So far, Strategy has achieved a dollar gain of $7.7 billion from its Bitcoin investments and aims to reach a target of $15 billion.<\/p>\n

The company had previously issued $212 million through Strike\u2019s ATM program without encountering adverse pricing pressure<\/a>. Given the high trading volume and strong investor demand, Lee expressed optimism that the $2.1 billion Strife ATM could be executed with similar success.<\/p>\n

In contrast to its other offerings, Strike is designed for \u201cBitcoin-curious\u201d investors, featuring an 8% coupon and potential upside through Bitcoin conversion. Saylor described it as a \u201cBitcoin fellowship with a stipend,\u201d appealing to a different risk profile.<\/p>\n

Currently, Strategy operates three ATM programs: $21 billion each for MicroStrategy (MSTR) equity and Strike, and $2.1 billion for Strife. These programs are rebalanced daily, allowing the company to adjust its issuance based on market conditions<\/a>, volatility, and investor appetite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, BTC is attempting to consolidate above the key $109,370 mark, which has the potential to become a new support level and allow for new records to be reached in the coming weeks. Year-to-date, the cryptocurrency has gained 56%.<\/p>\n
