In a significant move, Michael Saylor’s Strategy has initiated capital-raising programs totaling $44.1 billion aimed at acquiring Bitcoin. The company disclosed plans to generate up to $21 billion through the sale of its common stock, MSTR, and an additional $21 billion via its high-yield perpetual preferred stock, STRC, according to an 8-K filing submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.
Strategy has also announced intentions to sell up to $2.1 billion in another of its perpetual preferred stock offerings, STRK, although it did not provide specific timelines for these stock issuances. The company's recent marketing efforts focus on offering investors a route to gain exposure to Bitcoin, which is currently experiencing a decline of nearly 70% from its peak. Strategy holds an unrealized loss of 6.3% on its Bitcoin assets.
In the first quarter of 2026, Strategy added approximately 90,000 BTC to its treasury, increasing its total holdings to 762,099 Bitcoin, valued at around $54 billion. The latest transaction included the purchase of 1,031 Bitcoin for $76.6 million on Monday, supplementing earlier acquisitions of 17,994 Bitcoin and 22,337 Bitcoin earlier this month for a combined cost of $2.9 billion.
