Strategy has revealed an ambitious $44.1 billion fundraising blueprint aimed at expanding its Bitcoin reserves, propelling its stock price upward by more than 2% during Monday’s trading session.
The initiative was formally announced through an 8-K regulatory filing submitted to the SEC. It encompasses three distinct at-the-market offering programs spanning Strategy’s common shares and two classes of preferred securities.
The framework allocates $21 billion toward an ATM program for MSTR common shares, with an additional $21 billion designated for its STRC perpetual preferred stock. The remaining $2.1 billion will support its STRK preferred stock issuances.
Strategy refrained from providing specific timing details for these offerings, noting that securities may be sold “from time to time” based on market conditions.
MSTR shares peaked at $140 during Monday’s trading before settling around $138, based on TradingView market data. Bitcoin simultaneously strengthened, crossing the $70,000 threshold.
Strategic Shift Toward Preferred Securities
Strategy has increasingly favored preferred stock instruments to finance Bitcoin acquisitions, thereby alleviating dilution concerns for MSTR common shareholders. These preferred securities provide monthly dividend payments to holders while enabling the company to expand its cryptocurrency treasury.
Two weeks prior, Strategy liquidated 11.8 million STRC shares alongside 2.8 million MSTR shares, generating $1.57 billion for what became its largest Bitcoin acquisition this year.
For the previous week’s transaction, the company exclusively utilized MSTR common stock. It divested 509,111 shares, netting $76.5 million to purchase 1,031 BTC at an average cost of $74,326 per Bitcoin.
Through the earlier $21 billion MSTR ATM framework, Strategy had previously completed $15.9 billion in equity sales. The company also executed $20 billion in STRK sales and $4.2 billion in STRC transactions under previous programs.
Expanding Cryptocurrency Holdings
Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury now stands at 762,099 BTC, purchased at an aggregate average price of $75,694 per coin, representing a total investment of $57.69 billion.
The enterprise has accumulated approximately 90,000 BTC since January 2026. March acquisitions alone include 17,994 BTC on March 9 and 22,337 BTC on March 16, totaling nearly $2.9 billion in purchases.
Bitcoin currently trades more than 44% below its record peak of $126,000, achieved in October 2025. Strategy’s cryptocurrency holdings reached a maximum valuation of $78 billion at that time.
Based on present market values, the company faces an unrealized deficit of roughly $3.4 billion, according to DropsTab analytics.
Strategy’s consistent Bitcoin accumulation pattern has persisted on a weekly basis since late last year.
