Insights
Strategy uses preferred ATM sales to grow bitcoin holdings and links common stock issuance to an mNAV trigger.
Strategy Inc is actively drawing on its preferred stock at-the-market programs, selling STRK, STRF and STRD for a total notional value of $50.4 million over a one-week period. These programs still have multi-billion-dollar capacity remaining across common and preferred securities.
The filing shows that proceeds from these preferred share sales funded the purchase of 430 bitcoin for $51.4 million, raising total holdings to 629,376 bitcoin at an aggregate purchase cost of $46.15 billion. This highlights a continued focus on bitcoin accumulation financed through capital markets activity.
The updated equity guidance ties future issuance of MSTR common shares to an mNAV threshold of 2.5x, with stated uses including servicing debt interest and preferred dividends. The practical effect will depend on future mNAV levels and management’s tactical decisions as described in the guidance.
