Bitcoin accumulation continues through equity financing
The latest purchases were funded through the Strategy’s at-the-market (ATM) offering program, where the firm issued shares to raise capital. During the same reporting period, the company generated over $2.17 billion in net proceeds from the sale of its variable rate preferred stock.
Strategy has continued to rely on equity and preferred stock offerings to finance its bitcoin acquisitions, maintaining one of the largest corporate crypto treasuries globally. The firm also disclosed that it retains significant remaining capacity under its ongoing capital raise programs, including billions of dollars available for future issuance.
