Strategy completed another Bitcoin purchase last week. The company bought 168 BTC between October 13 and October 19.
The acquisition cost approximately $18.8 million. Strategy paid an average price of $112,051 per Bitcoin.
This marks the second consecutive week of Bitcoin purchases. The company bought 220 BTC the previous week for $27.2 million.
Strategy’s total holdings now stand at 640,418 Bitcoin. At current prices, this portfolio is worth around $71.1 billion.
The company originally acquired these coins at an average price of $74,010 per Bitcoin. Total acquisition costs including fees reached $47.4 billion.
Strategy’s Bitcoin stash represents more than 3% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million supply. This gives the company paper gains of approximately $23.7 billion.
Funding Through Preferred Stock Sales
Strategy raised capital through its preferred stock programs. The company sold shares from three different instruments.
STRF sales generated $11.2 million. STRK contributed $5.1 million to the total.
STRD sales added another $2.6 million. The combined proceeds of $18.9 million covered the Bitcoin purchase.
These perpetual preferred stocks serve different purposes. STRD offers a 10% non-cumulative dividend and carries the highest risk.
STRK is convertible with an 8% non-cumulative dividend. STRF provides a 10% cumulative dividend and is the most conservative option.
