Strategy plans to raise $2 billion to buy Bitcoins
Strategy plans $2.1B equity raise to expand Bitcoin holdings
Shares of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) surged over 3% today, crossing the $410 mark after the company revealed plans to raise $2.1 billion to acquire more Bitcoin.
The move comes as Bitcoin itself hit a new all-time high of $111,800, reinforcing the historically strong correlation between the cryptocurrency and the company’s stock, reports CoinGape.
MSTR up 40% YTD, Rallies with Bitcoin
The stock closed at around $402 on the previous trading day and opened today with renewed momentum, jumping over 2.5% early in the session. Year-to-date, MSTR is up more than 40%, outperforming even Bitcoin and becoming one of 2025’s best-performing equities.
Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation has been the main catalyst behind this performance. The firm now holds 576,230 BTC acquired at an average price of $69,726, bringing its total BTC holdings to approximately $64.4 billion, based on current prices.
$2.1B Raise to Fund More Bitcoin Purchases
The company announced a new At-The-Market (ATM) equity program to issue shares of its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock, with the aim of raising up to $2.1 billion. The funds will primarily be used to buy more Bitcoin, reinforcing the firm’s long-term BTC-centric treasury strategy.
Strategy emphasized that share issuance would be “disciplined”, factoring in real-time market conditions such as trading price and volume. It marks the latest in a series of financing moves to expand BTC holdings, including its $764.9 million purchase last week of 7,390 BTC.
Will MSTR Keep Rallying? Analysts Cautious
The timing of the announcement, paired with Bitcoin’s new ATH, adds bullish fuel to the MSTR stock narrative. However, crypto analyst Ali Martinez cautioned that the TD Sequential indicator has flashed a sell signal on MSTR’s weekly chart, suggesting a potential short-term correction before any further breakout.
Still, as long as Bitcoin remains in a strong uptrend, MSTR is likely to track higher, especially with its bold commitment to accumulate more BTC.
