The announcement came after Saylor on Sunday hinted at a potential resumption of Bitcoin purchases.
According to a recent SEC filing, Strategy purchased BTC using net proceeds from the sale of shares of its Class A common stock, and additional proceeds from its preferred stock offering. Last week, the company sold an aggregate of 516,413 shares of its Class A common stock, generating approximately $179 million in net proceeds. As of Feb. 9, approximately $4.17 billion of shares remained available for issuance and sale.
Strategy also announced the completion of a public offering of 7,300,000 preferred shares at $80.00 per share on Feb. 5, generating an estimated $563 million in net proceeds.
With its new buy, Strategy now holds 478,740 BTC, worth approximately $46 billion at current market prices. The company has invested about $31 billion in Bitcoin at an average price of $65,033 per coin.
The acquisition follows recent shareholder approval to increase authorized Class A common shares from 330 million to 10.3 billion and preferred stock from 5 million to 1 billion. This expansion supports the company’s Bitcoin treasury strategy, which targets to raise $42 billion by 2027 for additional Bitcoin purchases.
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin yield, measuring Bitcoin representation per share, has reached 4.1% year-to-date. Following a slight gain at the close of trading last Friday, the company’s shares surged 2% in pre-market trading on Monday, per Yahoo Finance data.
