  • Strategy Inc. (NasdaqGS:MSTR) has acquired 2,932 Bitcoins as part of its ongoing Bitcoin treasury approach.

  • The purchase was funded through at-the-market equity offerings of common and preferred stock.

  • This transaction expands Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings and reinforces its position as the largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin.

For investors watching NasdaqGS:MSTR, this move comes with a mixed backdrop. The share price stands at $143.19, with returns of 390.2% over 3 years and 87.0% over 5 years, but a 57.9% decline over the past year. Over the shorter term, the stock shows an 11.1% decline over 7 days, an 8.0% decline over 30 days, and an 8.9% decline year to date, underlining how sentiment can swing around this Bitcoin focused story.

The latest equity financed Bitcoin purchase tightens the link between Strategy’s share price, its capital structure, and the crypto market. As outstanding shares increase, investors may want to weigh potential dilution against the company’s crypto exposure and its flexibility to raise more capital for future acquisitions. This development also sets a reference point for how other public companies might think about using equity to build digital asset positions.

Check out Simply Wall St’s in depth valuation analysis for Strategy.

  • 📊 The 2,932 Bitcoin purchase deepens your exposure to Bitcoin price moves through equity in a single company rather than holding the token directly.

  • 📊 Keep an eye on the growing share count, the P/E of about 6.0 versus the Software industry average of about 30.1, and any further at the market raises tied to crypto buys.

  • ⚠️ The company already flags dilution over the past year and a high level of non cash earnings. Funding more Bitcoin with equity adds both dilution and earnings quality risk.
