Insights

Equity & crypto capital structure analyst

Strategy is funding sizable bitcoin purchases by issuing both preferred and common shares.

Strategy Inc used its at-the-market program to raise equity capital and convert it into additional bitcoin exposure. During February 9–16, it raised net proceeds of $78.4M from STRC preferred shares and $90.5M from MSTR common shares, then applied these funds to acquire 2,486 bitcoin.

This raises the company’s aggregate bitcoin position to 717,131 BTC with a cumulative cost of $54.52B and an average purchase price of $76,027 per bitcoin as of February 16, 2026. The strategy increases sensitivity to bitcoin price movements while also expanding the share count through ongoing ATM issuance.

The disclosure also points investors to a website dashboard where Strategy posts market prices of its securities, bitcoin purchases and holdings, and key performance indicators. Subsequent updates on that dashboard and in future filings will show how frequently the company continues using ATM equity sales to fund additional bitcoin accumulation.
