Summary
The acquisition brings Strategy's total bitcoin holdings to 846,842 BTC, valued at approximately $56 billion at prevailing market prices with bitcoin trading above $66,000. This positions the company as the largest corporate holder of bitcoin globally, controlling roughly 4% of the total bitcoin supply that will ever exist. Across its entire portfolio, Strategy has accumulated these holdings at an average cost of $75,656 per coin, representing a total invested capital of approximately $64 billion.
To fund this purchase without liquidating existing assets, Strategy deployed capital from its expanded USD Reserve, which the company increased to $1.1 billion during the same period. This reserve was established in December 2025 to cover dividend obligations on preferred shares and interest payments on debt. The company raised the necessary capital through equity issuance, selling approximately 1.73 million MSTR shares via its at-the-market program for total proceeds of $209 million.
This acquisition approach reflects a deliberate capital allocation strategy wherein Strategy separates its bitcoin accumulation program from its debt and preferred dividend obligations, funding both through equity raises rather than bitcoin sales or cash depletion. This structure preserves the company's long-term bitcoin holdings while maintaining adequate liquidity for operational commitments. The transaction also follows a June 1 disclosure in which Strategy sold 32 bitcoin to fund preferred dividends, demonstrating an active management of both its treasury and liability structures.
MSTR shares were up 5% in premarket trading following the announcement, reflecting investor confidence in the company's continued bitcoin accumulation strategy despite ongoing equity dilution.
