Michael Saylor’s firm, Strategy, is actively seeking new capital to expand its Bitcoin holdings. The company has registered with the SEC to issue shares of its Bitcoin-backed security, STRC up to 4.2 billion dollars. This is even after Strategy sold off a stock valued at 2.5 million last week and acquired the majority of the funds to purchase 21,021 BTC.
The company signed a Sales Agreement with five of the most important financial companies. These are TD Securities, Barclays Capital, The Benchmark Company, Clear Street, and Morgan Stanley. The agreement entails the disposition of stocks of its STRC preferred stock.

STRC trades in the Nasdaq. Its latest price was $94.50 a share. Strategy was not able to confirm the time that it will start selling its stock. The offering is not on any fixed schedule.
The firm noted that it will utilize the money for general corporate purposes. This involves additional purchases of Bitcoin, where it purchases Bitcoin and holds the Bitcoin instead of selling it outright or using the Bitcoin as an asset. Nonetheless, the company has not established the exact amount of money that it will spend in acquiring BTC.
This application is as a result of the recent $2.521 billion IPO of the STRC by the firm. On the same day, Strategy used the $2.474 billion collected to purchase 21,021 BTC by its spending amounting to 2.46 billion. When that investment was made, the total number of Bitcoin that the company owned was 628,791 BTC.
The Bitcoin worth held by the firm is now 46.8 billion dollars. It has an average cost of $73,227 per Bitcoin. The acquisition placed the firm as the most antagonistic corporate Bitcoin owner in the whole world.
The firm recorded operating revenue of $14.03 billion in the 2nd-quarter earnings report. This number is compared to 7,106.4% growth. The vast majority of that increase was an increase in value of its Bitcoin that had not yet occurred of $14 billion.
Strategy has applied fair value accounting on its BTC since it is the second quarter in a row. The new approach is a mirror of real-time fluctuation in the price of its Bitcoin. It increases volatility of earnings but also brings natures of gains in rallies.
Phong Le, the CEO of Strategy, said that the turnover of Bitcoin-based securities is increasing. He said that there is an increasing interest on an institutional and retail level. So far the company has raised over a staggering 10 billion dollars this year in a number of offerings.
These comprised $584 million STRK, $723 million STRF and $1 billion STRD. The biggest of them all was the STRC offering. He referred to the strategy as the intelligent leverage to increase BTC exposure.
Strategy observed that its Bitcoin per Share (BPS) metric has gained more than 25 percent in the first half of the year to date. It has reviewed its 2025 ambitions as well. Through this, the company anticipates a 30 percent BTC gain and overall BTC gains of $20 billion.
Strategy is betting big once again on Bitcoin. The IPO and offer of an additional US$4.2 billion in stock are an indication of confidence in the future of BTC. As its earnings surge and the popularity of crypto-backed goods increases, the firm remains on course on the corporate front to deal with digital currency.
