The company reported net proceeds of $1.00 billion from that stock sale alone. It said $21.64 billion remains available under the current at-the-market issuance program now.
Strategy did not sell shares from other preferred stock classes during the period. Those classes include STRF, STRK, STRD, and the company’s Class A stock offering.
Strategy had also announced fresh $21 billion offerings in March 2026 for sale. Those plans covered Stretch preferred stock and Class A common stock offerings, too.
The company said those offerings may start after existing capacity falls substantially. That framework gives Strategy a funding source for future bitcoin purchases ahead.
Recent Purchases, Saylor Comments, and Market Figures
The new purchase followed Strategy’s 4,871 BTC buy announced last week by management. That earlier transaction cost about $330 million, based on the company’s disclosure then.
The prior week brought no bitcoin purchase announcement from the NASDAQ-listed company there. It marked the first empty week in months for Strategy’s buying streak recently.
Michael Saylor hinted at a larger deal on Sunday with “think ₿igger” online. He later said Strategy’s BTC breakeven ARR stands at just above 2% currently.
Saylor wrote, “If Bitcoin grows faster over time, we can cover dividends indefinitely.” He added that the strategy could avoid issuing new MSTR shares in that case.
Strategy said its year-to-date bitcoin yield rose to 5.6% after the purchase again. The company used that metric to track bitcoin gains per share internally now.
MSTR shares have fallen more than 18% since the start of 2026 trading. That move has broadly tracked bitcoin’s price performance over the same period, too.
Strategy’s filing placed its bitcoin total at 780,897 BTC on April 12. It reported a total aggregate cost of $59.02 billion.
