Strategy has revealed a comprehensive $44.1 billion capital-raising blueprint aimed at continuing its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, propelling its stock price upward by more than 2% during Monday’s trading session.
The initiative was officially documented through an 8-K submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission. It encompasses three distinct at-the-market offerings spanning Strategy’s common shares and two categories of preferred equity.
The most substantial components include a $21 billion ATM offering for MSTR common shares and an identical $21 billion allocation for STRC perpetual preferred equity. An additional $2.1 billion has been designated for STRK preferred shares.
Strategy refrained from specifying an exact timeframe for executing these offerings, indicating only that transactions may occur “from time to time.”
MSTR shares peaked at $140 during Monday’s trading hours before moderating to approximately $138, based on TradingView market data. Bitcoin similarly experienced upward momentum throughout the day, surpassing the $70,000 threshold.
Preferred Stock Emphasis
Strategy has been increasingly utilizing preferred stock instruments to finance Bitcoin acquisitions, alleviating dilution concerns for MSTR common shareholders. The preferred equity offerings provide monthly dividend payments to investors while enabling the company to expand its cryptocurrency reserves.
Just two weeks prior, Strategy liquidated 11.8 million STRC shares alongside 2.8 million MSTR common shares to finance a $1.57 billion Bitcoin acquisition — representing its most substantial purchase this year.
For the previous week’s transaction, the company exclusively utilized MSTR common stock. It divested 509,111 shares, generating $76.5 million in net capital to purchase 1,031 BTC at an average cost of $74,326 per Bitcoin.
Under the preceding $21 billion MSTR ATM initiative, Strategy had previously executed $15.9 billion in stock dispositions. The company has additionally sold $20 billion in STRK and $4.2 billion in STRC through earlier programs.
Expanding Cryptocurrency Holdings
Strategy currently maintains a position of 762,099 BTC, obtained at a mean acquisition price of $75,694 per Bitcoin, representing a cumulative investment of $57.69 billion.
The organization has incorporated nearly 90,000 BTC into its treasury throughout the initial months of 2026. March acquisitions encompass 17,994 BTC on March 9 and 22,337 BTC on March 16, totaling approximately $2.9 billion.
Bitcoin currently trades more than 44% below its record peak of $126,000, achieved in October 2025. Strategy’s BTC holdings reached a maximum valuation of $78 billion during that period.
At present market valuations, the company faces an unrealized deficit of roughly $3.4 billion, according to DropsTab analytics.
Strategy’s consistent Bitcoin accumulation pattern has persisted on a weekly basis since late last year.
