Strategy has increased its ability to acquire more Bitcoin after raising over $206 million through new sales of its STRC perpetual preferred stock. The capital raise comes shortly after STRC regained its important $100 par value level, reopening the door for additional equity offerings tied to the company’s Bitcoin treasury strategy.
According to the Bitcoin Treasuries ATM tracker on May 11, 2026, Strategy’s active ATM (at-the-market) program generated approximately $206.61 million in net proceeds through the sale of 2.12 million STRC shares.
The latest fundraising effort arrived alongside another Bitcoin purchase announcement from the company. On Monday, Strategy confirmed it had acquired an additional $43 million worth of BTC, further expanding its already massive Bitcoin reserves.
Based on current market calculations, the newly raised capital could allow the company to purchase roughly 2,536 BTC at an estimated average price of $81,471 per Bitcoin.
STRC also experienced a major increase in trading activity. Daily trading volume surged to nearly $444.91 million as the preferred stock stabilized around its targeted $100 par value. Throughout Monday’s session, the stock showed minimal volatility, trading within a narrow range between $99.99 and $100.01.
The recovery follows STRC’s return to its intended valuation during the May 8 trading session. Yahoo Finance data showed the preferred stock closed at $99.99 before climbing back to $100 during after-hours trading. Trading volume exceeded $218 million on that day alone.
Currently, Strategy’s STRC stock offers an annual yield of around 11.5%, with the next ex-dividend date scheduled for May 15, 2026.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor previously explained that STRC was specifically designed to maintain a stable $100 unit price through adjustable dividend payouts.
Under the structure, dividend yields can rise whenever the stock trades below par value in order to attract additional investor demand. On the other hand, payout rates may be reduced if shares trade above the target price. Since STRC is currently holding above par value, the company could potentially lower yields and redirect more capital toward future Bitcoin purchases.
The latest fundraising move has also sparked renewed criticism from economist Peter Schiff, who continues to challenge Strategy’s Bitcoin-focused treasury approach.
Schiff criticized Saylor’s comments suggesting STRC could be suitable for retirees seeking stable income and low-risk wealth preservation. In a post on X, Schiff questioned whether such statements could violate SEC marketing and antifraud regulations due to the risks associated with Bitcoin-related investments.
