Strategy Breaks Record with $2.5B Raise for Bitcoin – $HYPER Is Heading Up

Strategy just sold $2.5 billion worth of stocks to fund its next Bitcoin purchase, totaling 21,021 $BTC at an average price of $117,256.

This increased the company’s Bitcoin reserves to 628,791 BTC, worth $74.4 billion at the current price.

Strategy moved quickly and finalized the purchase the same day it announced the Initial Public Offering (IPO).

The IPO also announced that Strategy will go public on NASDAQ today.

‘STRC is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on or around July 30, 2025 under the ticker symbol “STRC.

Once listed on Nasdaq, STRC will be the first U.S. exchange-listed perpetual preferred security issued by a Bitcoin Treasury Company to pay monthly dividends, and we believe it will also be the first U.S. exchange-listed perpetual preferred security to include a board-determined monthly dividend rate policy.

This latest Bitcoin purchase demolishes the previous record of $800M recorded on June 20, 2024.

Ryan Yoon, a senior analyst at Tiger Research, stated in a Decrypt interview that Strategy’s Bitcoin playbook may seem simple, but it’s very hard to replicate.

‘You need three things: enough Bitcoin to be credible, access to Wall Street financing tools, and a stock price that trades above the value of your Bitcoin holdings.

Most aspiring digital asset treasury companies lack all three, while many new entrants struggle because they don’t have credibility or access to financing.

‘It worked for Strategy because they got there first and built scale.’

Yoon was referencing Strategy’s long history of buying Bitcoin, beginning with August 10, 2020, when the company purchased its first batch of 21,454 $BTC.

Since then, Strategy’s frequent Bitcoin purchases have increased in both number and size, with the latest $2.5B buy clearly illustrating that trend.

This new investment, along with STRC beginning its NASDAQ run today, is expected to boost Bitcoin’s momentum and push it out of its $118K consolidation phase, where it has been stuck for the past several days.

With Bitcoin bullish again, we should expect the entire crypto market to respond, drawing more attention to projects with strong long-term potential, like Bitcoin Hyper.

As Bitcoin’s official Layer 2 solution, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) seeks to address Bitcoin’s limited performance, which is currently capped at 7 transactions per second (TPS), using two main tools.

The Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) allows for near-instant execution of smart contracts and DeFi applications, bringing some of Solana’s performance to the Bitcoin network.

The Canonical Bridge, on the other hand, mints the users’ Bitcoins onto Hyper’s Layer 2, which will then be available to use on Hyper or withdrawn to Bitcoin’s native layer at will.

These tools aim to enable quick and inexpensive Bitcoin transactions, which is where the Lightning Network fell short despite a promising start.

Hyper works differently thanks to its L2 virtual machine, which allows for high throughput without congesting the native network.

$HYPER is in presale today, with a current price of $0.01245, and it’s receiving strong support from investors based on the numbers. The presale has raised over $5.8 million since it started in May 2025, making Bitcoin Hyper one of the fastest-growing presales of 2025.

Provided the project has successful post-launch updates and implementation, we could see $HYPER surge in the charts as it gains mainstream adoption.

You can buy your $HYPER right now by visiting the official presale page and securing your transaction there.

It’s likely that Strategy’s latest Bitcoin investment could push Bitcoin higher soon because of the large $2.5B purchase. This comes as STRC is about to start trading on NASDAQ today.

Together, these events could generate FOMO and push prices higher not just for Bitcoin, but also for projects like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) and the overall crypto market.

Bitcoin has been in a prolonged consolidation phase ever since it reached its ATH of $123K this month, so it likely just needed a push in the right direction.

This isn’t financial advice. Do your own research ($DYOR) and invest wisely.
