Strategy disclosed Monday that it bought another 430 BTC for $51.4 million, paying an average price of $119,666 per coin. The move brings the firm’s total stash to 629,376 BTC, worth about $72.4 billion at current prices.
What’s the Scoop?
- Financed Through Preferreds: The latest purchase was funded by selling shares of its STRK, STRF, and STRD perpetual preferred programs, which raised over $50 million in net proceeds last week.
- Balance Sheet Firepower: The firm still has more than $40 billion in remaining ATM capacity across its preferred offerings and common equity program to fund future buys.
- Paper Gains: Strategy’s BTC holdings now carry about $26.2 billion in unrealized profits, with an average cost basis of $73,320 per coin.
- Market Signal: The move followed co-founder Michael Saylor’s weekend hint on X, where he posted “Insufficient orange,” a phrase traders often take as a signal that more buying is coming.
