Insights

Equity & crypto capital structure analyst

Strategy raised over $1.5B via ATM sales and redirected it into additional bitcoin, materially expanding its crypto exposure.

Strategy Inc used its at-the-market program to sell STRC preferred and MSTR common shares, generating net proceeds of $1.5764 billion. The largest component was 11,818,467 STRC shares with notional value of $1.1818 billion and net proceeds of $1.1804 billion, indicating strong reliance on this security for funding.

The company then deployed ATM proceeds to buy 22,337 bitcoin at an average price of $70,194, bringing total holdings to 761,068 bitcoin. The aggregate purchase price of these holdings is disclosed as $57.61 billion with an average cost of $75,696 per bitcoin, underscoring substantial balance-sheet exposure to bitcoin price movements.

This combination of equity issuance and bitcoin accumulation ties Strategy’s capital structure closely to crypto market dynamics. Subsequent filings may show how ongoing ATM capacity in STRF, STRK and STRD, together with bitcoin price volatility after March 15, 2026, affect leverage metrics and overall financial flexibility.
