The buys were funded via sales $128.5 million of common stock and $51.8 million of STRK preferred stock. The common stock sale notably used up the remainder of MSTR’s 2024 $21 billion at-the-market offering. MSTR last week introduced a new $21 billion ATM offering.

Strategy now holds 555,450 bitcoin purchased for $38.08 billion, or an average price of $68,550 each. At bitcoin’s current price around $94,000, the holdings are worth north of $52 billion.

MSTR is lower by 2.7% in premarket action.
