Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has added 4,225 BTC to its treasury in a single week, spending $472.5 million at an average price of $111,827 per bitcoin.
The latest acquisition, announced on July 14, brings Strategy’s total BTC holdings to 601,550, purchased at an average price of $71,268 per coin, amounting to a total investment of $42.87 billion.
The move reaffirms the company’s long-standing conviction in Bitcoin as a strategic treasury reserve asset.
With this purchase, Strategy’s Bitcoin-related yield year-to-date has surged to 20.2%, underscoring the performance edge the company has enjoyed in 2025’s bullish digital asset environment.
Funding Strategy: Preferred Stock Offerings Fuel Growth
To fund its latest Bitcoin accumulation, Strategy tapped into multiple at-the-market (ATM) offering programs, including its common stock (MSTR) and three distinct preferred share offerings: STRK (Strike), STRF (Strife), and STRD (Stride).
Between July 7 and July 13, 2025, Strategy sold nearly 2 million shares across these instruments, raising a combined $472.3 million in net proceeds. The largest tranche came from the common stock ATM, which generated $330.9 million.
The STRK preferred shares contributed $57.4 million, STRF added $44.4 million, and STRD rounded out the raise with $15.8 million. Each preferred share class offers annual dividends ranging from 8.00% to 10.00%, giving investors exposure to income-generating equity tied to Strategy’s long-term Bitcoin vision.
These instruments also reflect Strategy’s financial creativity, offering scalable fundraising mechanisms without diluting common shareholders excessively.
Transparent Reporting and Long-Term Positioning
As part of its commitment to transparency, Strategy says it continues to maintain a publicly accessible dashboard at www.strategy.com, where it discloses real-time Bitcoin purchases, aggregate holdings, security market data, and key financial metrics.
By integrating Bitcoin acquisition updates with structured equity offerings, Strategy has positioned itself as both a technology firm and a de facto Bitcoin ETF.
Bitcoin Breaks $123K ATH
Earlier today, Bitcoin has shattered all previous records by reaching a new all-time high (ATH) of $123,091, prompting former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) to put the milestone in historical perspective by calling it “just a fraction” of what’s to come.
CZ reminded followers that after buying Bitcoin in 2014, it took three years to reach $1,000 again in January 2017, noting that today’s excitement over current highs will seem minimal in future years.
Bitcoin ATH Wipes Out $1.3B Short Positions
The latest surge liquidated $1.3 billion in short positions in less than 60 seconds as Bitcoin skipped past $120,000 and went directly to $121,000.
At $2.39 trillion market capitalization, Bitcoin has now officially become larger than Amazon and ranks as the world’s fifth-largest asset by market value.
Crypto markets have added $1.2 trillion in market cap since President Trump paused “reciprocal tariffs” on April 9th, with Bitcoin gaining $15,000 since the House passed Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” on July 3rd
