Strategy Expands Bitcoin Holdings After Raising Over $2 Billion Through Stock Sales

In one of the largest corporate treasury moves of the year, Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) raised approximately $2.03 billion through stock offerings and quickly used the funds to significantly increase its Bitcoin holdings.

The company purchased an additional 24,869 Bitcoin following the capital raise, reinforcing its position as one of the largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency.

Strategy Raised $2 Billion Through Multiple Stock Programs

The fundraising campaign took place over six days, between May 11 and May 17, as Strategy leveraged several at-the-market (ATM) stock offering programs to access public capital markets.

The majority of the funds came through the company’s STRC program, where Strategy sold 19.95 million shares and generated roughly $1.95 billion in net proceeds.

In addition, the firm raised another $83.7 million by selling 430,344 shares through its MSTR program.

Together, these offerings resulted in total capital raised of approximately $2.03 billion.

Over $2 Billion Allocated to New Bitcoin Purchases

Strategy deployed around $2.01 billion of the newly raised capital to buy Bitcoin at an average purchase price of $80,985 per coin.

Following the latest acquisition, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings increased to 843,738 BTC as of May 17.

The move further strengthens Strategy’s long-term commitment to Bitcoin as a corporate treasury reserve asset.

Strategy’s Total Bitcoin Investment Approaches $64 Billion

To date, Strategy has invested approximately $63.87 billion into Bitcoin purchases.

Across all acquisitions, the company’s average purchase price stands near $75,700 per Bitcoin, highlighting its continued accumulation strategy despite market volatility.

Billions Still Available for Future Capital Raises

Strategy retains substantial remaining capacity across its ATM programs, suggesting additional fundraising and Bitcoin purchases may still be possible.

The company reported the following remaining authorization amounts:

  • MSTR program: $26.3 billion remaining
  • STRC program: $17.5 billion remaining
  • STRD program: $4.0 billion remaining
  • STRK program: $2.1 billion remaining
  • STRF program: $1.6 billion remaining

In total, Strategy still has approximately $51.5 billion available through these capital programs.

Strategy Continues Aggressive Bitcoin Accumulation

The latest $2 billion Bitcoin purchase underscores Strategy’s ongoing strategy of using equity financing to expand its cryptocurrency reserves.

With more than 843,000 Bitcoin now held on its balance sheet and billions in fundraising capacity remaining, investors will closely watch whether the company continues its aggressive accumulation approach in the coming months.
