The latest acquisition, announced on July 14, brings Strategy’s total BTC holdings to 601,550, purchased at an average price of $71,268 per coin, amounting to a total investment of $42.87 billion.

The move reaffirms the company’s long-standing conviction in Bitcoin as a strategic treasury reserve asset.

With this purchase, Strategy’s Bitcoin-related yield year-to-date has surged to 20.2%, underscoring the performance edge the company has enjoyed in 2025’s bullish digital asset environment.

To fund its latest Bitcoin accumulation, Strategy tapped into multiple at-the-market (ATM) offering programs, including its common stock (MSTR) and three distinct preferred share offerings: STRK (Strike), STRF (Strife), and STRD (Stride).

Between July 7 and July 13, 2025, Strategy sold nearly 2 million shares across these instruments, raising a combined $472.3 million in net proceeds. The largest tranche came from the common stock ATM, which generated $330.9 million.

The STRK preferred shares contributed $57.4 million, STRF added $44.4 million, and STRD rounded out the raise with $15.8 million. Each preferred share class offers annual dividends ranging from 8.00% to 10.00%, giving investors exposure to income-generating equity tied to Strategy’s long-term Bitcoin vision.

These instruments also reflect Strategy’s financial creativity, offering scalable fundraising mechanisms without diluting common shareholders excessively.

As part of its commitment to transparency, Strategy says it continues to maintain a publicly accessible dashboard at www.strategy.com, where it discloses real-time Bitcoin purchases, aggregate holdings, security market data, and key financial metrics.

By integrating Bitcoin acquisition updates with structured equity offerings, Strategy has positioned itself as both a technology firm and a de facto Bitcoin ETF.

Earlier today, Bitcoin has shattered all previous records by reaching a new all-time high (ATH) of $123,091, prompting former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) to put the milestone in historical perspective by calling it “just a fraction” of what’s to come.

CZ reminded followers that after buying Bitcoin in 2014, it took three years to reach $1,000 again in January 2017, noting that today’s excitement over current highs will seem minimal in future years.

The latest surge liquidated $1.3 billion in short positions in less than 60 seconds as Bitcoin skipped past $120,000 and went directly to $121,000.

At $2.39 trillion market capitalization, Bitcoin has now officially become larger than Amazon and ranks as the world’s fifth-largest asset by market value.

Crypto markets have added $1.2 trillion in market cap since President Trump paused “reciprocal tariffs” on April 9th, with Bitcoin gaining $15,000 since the House passed Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” on July 3rd
