Michael Saylor\u2019s Bitcoin empire just got even bigger and he didn\u2019t need profits to pull it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, Strategy<\/em> tapped the capital markets once again, raising $472.5 million<\/strong> through stock sales and using every bit of it to scoop up 4,225 more BTC<\/strong> between July 7 and July 13. According to a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 14, the company paid an average of $111,827 per coin<\/strong>, signaling zero hesitation even as prices flirt with all-time highs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this latest haul, the Tysons Corner-based firm now holds 601,550 BTC<\/strong>, which is over 2.8% of Bitcoin\u2019s total capped supply<\/strong> a staggering figure that reinforces the company\u2019s role as the biggest corporate Bitcoin whale on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what\u2019s powering this Bitcoin binge isn\u2019t revenue from software or services it\u2019s equity. Strategy raised the funds by issuing a mix of common (797,008 MSTR shares)<\/strong> and preferred stock<\/strong> (via STRK, STRF, and STRD offerings). These preferred shares, carrying dividend yields between 8% and 10%<\/strong>, allow Strategy to draw in capital without immediate dilution a clever form of financial engineering that\u2019s kept its BTC machine running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And there\u2019s plenty more firepower where that came from. Strategy still has $17.78 billion in authorized MSTR shares<\/strong> it can sell, plus another $26.5 billion<\/strong> available through its preferred stock programs. Just last week, it added $4.2 billion via a new STRD offering<\/strong>, further fueling speculation that Saylor isn\u2019t stopping at 600K BTC not even close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So far in 2025 alone, the company has added 88,062 BTC<\/strong>, worth roughly $10.9 billion<\/strong>, generating an impressive 20.2% return<\/strong> on its Bitcoin portfolio. Compared to the average corporate treasury yield, that\u2019s monumental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, there\u2019s a catch. Strategy\u2019s model hinges on two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If either falters especially if BTC prices stagnate or dip Strategy could be left scrambling to cover its hefty dividend obligations. Its \u201c42\/42 Plan<\/strong>,\u201d now expanded to $84 billion<\/strong> in target capital raises, is built on the assumption that markets will always be ready to back the play. But with rising interest rates and shifting macro conditions, that assumption could be tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strategy has made it clear: it\u2019s all in on Bitcoin. Buying at peak prices isn\u2019t a deterrent it\u2019s part of the plan. Saylor and his team believe in the long-term scarcity of BTC, and they\u2019re building a machine that converts equity into crypto faster than anyone else in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the real question isn\u2019t if<\/strong> Strategy will keep buying. It\u2019s how long the market will let them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As this hybrid corporate-Bitcoin ETF model continues to evolve, each new billion raised binds the company\u2019s fate ever more tightly to the performance of Bitcoin. It\u2019s bold. It\u2019s risky. And for now, it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Michael Saylor\u2019s Bitcoin empire just got even bigger and he didn\u2019t need profits to pull it off.
