The company’s bitcoin holdings have now risen to 553,555 BTC worth more than $52 billion at bitcoin’s current price just north of $95,000. The average purchase price for MSTR’s total stack is $64,459 each.
This latest acquisition was funded through proceeds from the company’s two at-the-market stock offerings, the filing noted. Between April 21 and April 27, Strategy sold over $4 million worth of its Class A common stock and more than 435,000 shares of its preferred stock series, STRK.
According to the 8-K filing, only $128.7 million of the common stock ATM program remains, representing just 0.6% of the initial $21 billion that began in October 2024.
Shares of MSTR are up1.5% in pre-market trading alongside a modest rise in the price of bitcoin since Friday afternoon.
