Strategy sold 3,458,866 shares of its common stock for about $333.7 million between Aug. 10 and Aug. 16, according to an 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday. The company did not buy or sell Bitcoin during the period, leaving its holdings unchanged at 840,447 BTC.
The latest share sale highlights how Strategy is using its access to equity markets to fund obligations tied to its preferred securities and bolster its cash reserves, rather than to buy more Bitcoin.
Share Sale Funds Dividends and Reserves
Strategy sold 3,458,866 shares through its at-the-market offering program. Of the $333.7 million in proceeds, $52.4 million was used to fund dividends on its STRC preferred stock, while $132.2 million went toward STRC repurchases under its Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program. The remaining $149.1 million was added to the company’s USD reserve, bringing the total to about $4.8 billion.

Strategy’s bitcoin holdings, unchanged at 840,447 BTC, carry an acquisition cost of about $63.4 billion, with an average purchase price of $75,385 per Bitcoin. At a Bitcoin price of about $63,540, the holdings would be worth roughly $53.4 billion.
MSTR shares closed Friday at $93.04, down 4.1% for the week and roughly 80% below their 2025 high.
Cash Buildup Continues Under New Framework
The latest sales come under Strategy’s Digital Credit Capital Framework, which governs how the company manages its cash reserves and digital-credit securities.
The framework includes a $1 billion repurchase program for digital credit securities, with STRC among the securities being prioritized. Strategy has also approved a $1 billion common-stock buyback program.
At the same time, Strategy has expanded its Bitcoin Monetization Program to permit up to $5 billion in Bitcoin sales if necessary to fund reserves or meet obligations. The authorization does not mean the company has sold Bitcoin: Its holdings remained unchanged during the latest reporting period.
On the Flipside
- The latest transaction shows Strategy using equity proceeds to support its preferred-stock obligations, repurchase preferred securities and build liquidity rather than increase its Bitcoin holdings.
Why This Matters
Strategy remains one of the world’s largest corporate holders of Bitcoin, but its latest financing moves show that maintaining that position comes with significant funding needs.
The company is issuing common stock to raise cash while keeping its Bitcoin holdings unchanged. Tha
t gives Strategy more liquidity to meet preferred-stock obligations and manage its capital structure, but it also means existing common shareholders face dilution without a corresponding increase in the company’s Bitcoin holdings.
The transactions underscore that for investors, the story is not only how much Bitcoin Strategy owns, but how it finances and maintains that position.
