Net proceeds from the preferred stock offering totaled $1.00 billion. The company disclosed $21.64 billion in remaining capacity under its current at-the-market issuance program.

Strategy avoided selling shares from alternative preferred stock categories during this period. Other available classes include STRF, STRK, STRD, and the company’s Class A stock offering.

March 2026 saw Strategy announce additional $21 billion in planned offerings. These programs encompass both Stretch preferred stock and Class A common stock issuances.

Management indicated these offerings may commence after existing issuance capacity experiences substantial depletion. This structure provides Strategy with capital sources for continued bitcoin accumulation.

Transaction History, Executive Statements, and Performance Metrics

The billion-dollar acquisition came after Strategy’s previous 4,871 BTC purchase disclosed last week. That transaction required approximately $330 million based on company disclosures.

The preceding week marked an unusual pause with no bitcoin purchase announcement from the NASDAQ-listed firm. This represented the first week without acquisitions after months of continuous buying activity.

Michael Saylor teased the substantial transaction Sunday with a “think ₿igger” message online. He subsequently stated Strategy’s BTC breakeven ARR currently sits slightly above 2%.

Saylor explained, “If Bitcoin grows faster over time, we can cover dividends indefinitely.” He suggested this scenario could eliminate the need for issuing additional MSTR shares.

Strategy reported its year-to-date bitcoin yield increased to 5.6% following the latest acquisition. The company employs this metric to measure bitcoin accumulation per share.

MSTR shares have declined over 18% since 2026 began. This performance has generally mirrored bitcoin’s price trajectory during the same timeframe.

Strategy’s regulatory filing confirmed total bitcoin holdings of 780,897 BTC on April 12. Aggregate acquisition costs reached $59.02 billion.
