Strategy has revealed a comprehensive $44.1 billion fundraising strategy aimed at continuing its Bitcoin accumulation efforts, propelling the company’s shares upward by more than 2% during Monday’s trading session.

The initiative was formally disclosed through an 8-K regulatory filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing outlines three distinct at-the-market offerings spanning Strategy’s common equity and two separate preferred stock classes.

The bulk of the capital-raising effort includes a $21 billion ATM offering for MSTR common equity alongside an equivalent $21 billion program for STRC perpetual preferred shares. An additional $2.1 billion allocation targets the company’s STRK preferred stock instrument.

Strategy refrained from establishing a specific timetable for executing these offerings, indicating merely that share sales could occur “from time to time” based on market conditions.

MSTR equity touched an intraday peak of $140 during Monday’s market hours before settling near the $138 level, based on TradingView market information. Bitcoin simultaneously rallied, surpassing the $70,000 threshold.

Strategic Pivot Toward Preferred Equity Instruments

Strategy has increasingly favored preferred stock issuances as its primary funding mechanism for Bitcoin acquisitions, thereby alleviating dilution concerns for MSTR common stockholders. The preferred share structures provide monthly dividend payments to holders while enabling the company to expand its cryptocurrency treasury.

Two weeks prior, Strategy executed sales of 11.8 million STRC shares combined with 2.8 million MSTR common shares, generating proceeds that funded a $1.57 billion Bitcoin acquisition — marking the company’s largest single purchase this year.

For the most recent weekly acquisition, the firm relied exclusively on MSTR common stock. Strategy sold 509,111 shares, netting $76.5 million in proceeds to purchase 1,031 BTC at an average acquisition cost of $74,326 per Bitcoin.

Through its previous $21 billion MSTR ATM program, Strategy had completed approximately $15.9 billion in common stock transactions. The company has additionally executed $20 billion in STRK sales and $4.2 billion in STRC offerings under earlier registered programs.

Expanding Cryptocurrency Holdings

Strategy currently maintains a Bitcoin treasury of 762,099 BTC, purchased at an average acquisition price of $75,694 per coin, representing a total investment of $57.69 billion.

The corporation has expanded its holdings by nearly 90,000 BTC since January 2026. Recent acquisitions this month encompass 17,994 BTC purchased on March 9 and 22,337 BTC acquired on March 16, totaling approximately $2.9 billion in deployment.

Bitcoin currently trades more than 44% below its all-time peak of $126,000, established in October 2025. At that market zenith, Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio commanded a market value exceeding $78 billion.

At present market valuations, 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 year-end.
