Insights
Strategy is heavily using its ATM to expand very large bitcoin holdings.
Strategy Inc is converting equity capacity into additional bitcoin exposure. During May 11–17, 2026, it raised $2,032.7 million in net proceeds through its ATM, led by $1,949.0 million from STRC preferred and $83.7 million from MSTR common stock.
The company holds substantial remaining ATM capacity, including $17,510.8 million of STRC and $26,265.7 million of MSTR stock available for issuance. This structure allows ongoing, flexible access to capital through incremental share sales, with the actual impact depending on future issuance levels.
ATM proceeds funded the purchase of 24,869 bitcoin at an average price of $80,985, lifting total holdings to 843,738 bitcoin acquired for $63.87 billion at an average cost of $75,700. This filing underscores a balance sheet strategy closely linked to bitcoin price movements and future ATM usage.
