Strategy raises $263.5M through MSTR sales, holds 843,775 Bitcoin

Strategy boosted its cash reserve to $3.225 billion after selling MSTR shares, while investors weighed the value of its STRC preferred stock.

Strategy, the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, is raising fresh capital through sales of its Class A common stock while maintaining its current Bitcoin holdings.

Strategy raised $263.5 million through sales of its MSTR common stock under its at-the-market (ATM) program between July 13 and July 19, according to a Form 8-K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.

The company made no Bitcoin purchases or sales during the reporting period, leaving its holdings unchanged at 843,775 BTC, acquired for a total purchase price of $63.69 billion. The average acquisition cost of its holdings is $75,476, according to Strategy’s website. Bitcoin was last trading at roughly $64,657.

The filing comes as investors debate the value of Strategy’s preferred stock offerings, which the company has increasingly used alongside common stock sales to fund its Bitcoin treasury strategy.

Following its latest 2.73 million MSTR share sale, Strategy increased its US dollar reserve to $3.225 billion, up 7.5% from $3 billion a week earlier.

The reserve includes expected proceeds from MSTR stock sales that had not yet been settled and is used to fund dividends on the company’s preferred stock and interest payments on its outstanding debt.

The latest update follows the previous week’s filing, when Strategy also reported no Bitcoin purchases while raising $466.7 million through its MSTR ATM program. The company did not sell shares under any of its preferred stock ATM programs during either reporting period.

Strategy still has about $23.5 billion of remaining capacity under its common stock ATM program, giving it significant flexibility to raise additional capital.

Strategy’s STRC preferred stock closed at $85.29 on Friday, while MSTR shares ended the session at $94.85, according to Yahoo Finance data.

Credit investor Khing Oei said in an X post on Sunday that STRC may be undervalued, highlighting that the market is treating it as a simple “14% yield” product rather than valuing its future cash flows.
