Strategy Buys 520 BTC, Raises Cash to $1.4 Billion as It Keeps Building the World’s Biggest Corporate Bitcoin Treasury

The company used at‑the‑market share sales to top up dollar reserves for preferred‑dividend coverage, signaling continued reliance on capital markets to fund further Bitcoin buys.

Overview

  • Strategy disclosed in a Form 8‑K on Monday that it purchased 520 bitcoin for about $35 million and now holds roughly 847,363 BTC.
  • The company raised about $335.5 million by selling roughly 2.7 million common shares and added $300 million to bring its USD reserve to $1.4 billion to cover STRC preferred dividends.
  • Earlier in June Strategy sold 32 BTC to fund preferred dividends, a move defended by Blockstream CEO Adam Back as routine treasury management rather than a change of strategy.
  • Analysts note the firm’s model depends on steady access to capital markets because mark‑to‑market accounting made Strategy report huge unrealized losses in Q1 2026 and preferred shares trading below par raise the risk of forced sales without more cash buffers.
  • Markets are watching Michael Saylor’s frequent social posts and the company’s weekly 8‑K cadence as signals that more purchases may follow and that financing and dividend liquidity will determine the pace of future accumulation.
