Strategy to Raise $21B to Buy more Bitcoins
Michael Saylor's Strategy (STRK) announced on Monday that it has launched an at-the-market (ATM) offering of its Series A preferred stock (STRK). Most of the proceeds raised from this initiative will be used to purchase more bitcoins for the company.
This latest development comes after Strategy spent the last few weeks of 2024 and early weeks of 2025 adding to its Bitcoin reserves weekly.
The news didn’t halt Bitcoin’s bearish performance, with the leading cryptocurrency losing nearly 5% of its value on Monday to drop to the $76k level for the first time since November 2024.
Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, with just shy of 500,000 tokens worth about $42 billion at bitcoin's current price.
