This strategic move, executed between March 2 and March 8, 2026, brings the company&#8217;s total Bitcoin holdings to a substantial 738,731 BTC.<\/p>\n<h2>Strategy Funds Bitcoin Acquisition Through Equity Offerings<\/h2>\n<p>The latest purchase was primarily financed through Strategy&#8217;s at-the-market (ATM) offering program. The company raised roughly $900 million by selling 6.3 million shares of its Class A common stock. An additional $377 million was secured through the sale of 3.7 million shares of its variable-rate Stretch preferred stock (STRC). This combined capital infusion of $1.3 billion marks one of Strategy&#8217;s most active weeks of fundraising in recent months.<\/p>\n<h2>Expanded Holdings and Investment Averages<\/h2>\n<p>With this latest acquisition, Strategy&#8217;s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 738,731 BTC, accumulated at an aggregate cost of $56 billion. The average purchase price across all acquisitions is $75,862 per Bitcoin. The company&#8217;s current holdings, valued at Bitcoin&#8217;s price just shy of $68,000, are worth approximately $50 billion, indicating a significant unrealized loss on paper based on its average acquisition cost.<\/p>\n<h2>Flexibility in Future Capital Raising<\/h2>\n<p>Strategy maintains considerable capacity for future capital raises. The company has $6.7 billion available for additional MSTR share sales, $20.3 billion for its Strike preferred stock (STRK), and $3.2 billion for the Stretch preferred series. Furthermore, Strategy has amended its Omnibus Sales Agreement with its underwriters, which now allows for the appointment of a second sales agent for any single class of security during pre-market and after-hours trading. This adjustment is designed to provide greater flexibility for executing large-volume transactions outside of regular trading hours.<\/p>\n<p><em>The consistent and substantial accumulation of Bitcoin by Strategy, even amidst market fluctuations and current paper losses, underscores its unwavering commitment to a long-term digital asset strategy, signaling a belief in Bitcoin&#8217;s future value proposition.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Software company Strategy has purchased 17,994 Bitcoin for $1.3 billion, bringing its total holdings to 738,731 BTC.
