Overview
- Strategy sold 18,261,118 Class A MSTR shares through its at‑the‑market program between August 17 and August 23, raising about $2.01 billion in net proceeds.
- The company added $300 million to its existing USD Reserve, used $136.4 million to repurchase roughly 1.43 million STRC preferred shares, and placed the remaining proceeds into a newly created USD Cash account that held $1.59 billion as of August 23.
- Strategy left its bitcoin treasury unchanged at 840,447 BTC, a position with an aggregate purchase cost near $63.36 billion and an average cost of about $75,385 per coin.
- Analysts say the equity-funded cash build reduces near‑term pressure to sell BTC but also removes a reliable corporate buyer from spot markets, making Strategy’s next deployment decision a key signal for whether the rally can be sustained.
- The changes flow from the June Digital Credit Capital Framework and the company’s repurchase authorizations, leaving $516.6 million capacity under the preferred repurchase program and a $1.0 billion common repurchase authorization that investors will watch for signs of future bitcoin purchases or further balance‑sheet moves.
