Jun 22, 2026, 12:39 p.m. 1 min readSummaryStrategy acquired 520 bitcoin last week for approximately $34.9 million, bringing its total holdings to 847,363 BTC. The company also raised its cash reserves by $300 million to $1.4 billion.Both of the moves were funded via sales of common stock.Michael Saylor and his embattled Strategy (MSTR) sold more common stock last week, using the proceeds to add a relatively small amount of bitcoin and $300 million in cash to its balance sheet.The company sold about 2.7 million shares of MSTR, according to a Monday morning filing, raising $335.5 million. About $35 million of that was used to acquire 520 bitcoin at an average price of $67,068 each. The other $300 million was added to cash already on the balance sheet, bringing reserves to $1.4 billion.The latest acquisition brings Strategy's total bitcoin holdings to 847,363 BTC, acquired at a total cost of roughly $64.01 billion, or an average purchase price of $75.651 per coin.The raising of cash is intended to back dividend payments on the company's high-yielding preferred stock, STRC. Investors in recent weeks have grown worried about STRC's soundness, culminating in panic selling on Thursday that drove the price to a record low below $83. Shares bounced into the close, though and are higher by another 2% Monday morning to $90.43 — that's still far below the par value of $100, the level at which Saylor had hoped to try and nearly pin the value.The company's common stock, MSTR, is higher by 3.5% Monday as bitcoin has bounced to just shy of $65,000.12345678910
