MicroStrategy buys 24,869 BTC for $2.01B, holdings rise to 843,738 BTC amid equity‑financed accumulation
Strategy purchased 24,869 BTC for about $2.01 billion, increasing its holdings to 843,738 BTC.
Strategy acquired 24,869 BTC last week for roughly $2.01 billion, bringing its total holdings to 843,738 BTC; BlockNews and other outlets note that figure represents just over 4% of Bitcoin’s supply [1] [2] [3].
Reporting says the purchases were funded via at-the-market (ATM) equity sales and other financing mechanisms, including new stock offerings and preferred-share issuances that continue to underwrite the company’s aggressive accumulation strategy [2] [4].
Coverage noted the buy coincided with a market move that pushed Bitcoin back above roughly $77,000, while Strategy’s common stock (MSTR) traded lower amid the transaction reports [5] [4] [3].
