Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has hinted at a Bitcoin purchase, making it the eighth consecutive week of aggressive purchases. Michael Saylor, via X, posts the company’s BTC portfolio tracker before a new acquisition. The announcement comes after a quiet weekend for BTC price, which raises market expectations about the future.
Last week, the company purchased 705 BTC for $75 million as part of a pattern of consistent acquisitions. Strategy holds 580,955 BTC worth about $61.44 billion at current market prices. If the company continues at this pace, it could soon hit the 600,000 BTC mark.
Saylor’s recent post showed the portfolio tracker and included a hint that he is about to buy more. AThe company has followed each similar post with a confirmed Bitcoin purchase within hours. The market now expects the company to make another high-value buy announcement.
Strategy increased its funding plans through a $1 billion preferred stock issuance to fund Bitcoin purchases. The company intends to issue 11.76 million Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock shares at a price of $85 each. Strategy expects to raise $979 million to fund Bitcoin purchases and manage corporate operations after deductions.
The new method offers non-cumulative fixed 10% annual dividends unlike the previous ones. The structure seeks to motivate institutional investors who seek stable income without lowering the current equity. Strategy matches its financing with the company’s long-term treasury goals as well as adds more crypto assets.
Bitcoin price sits at $105,696, which is 5.5% lower than its previous peak of $111,970. Although demand has dropped, institutions are still active, and new companies have increased the market confidence. Sixteen companies have purchased BTC in the last week, indicating more adoption.
MSTR’s stock has risen 134% in the past year and surpassed Tesla, Apple and Microsoft. The rise in the stock price is linked to the company’s Bitcoin approach, which increases investors’ trust in its crypto plans. Saylor has stressed that stocks enable investors to access BTC.
Bitcoin and MSTR benefit from each other because both assets support the upward movement of values. Strategy makes purchases when Bitcoin’s price rises, which causes speculation about the market. As the company acquires more crypto, MSTR continues to increase its crypto reserves.
Strategy holds more BTC than the U.S. and China, which makes it the largest holder. It holds more than twelve times BTC than the next largest corporate holder, Mara Holdings.
