Strategy now holds 629,376 bitcoin purchased at an average pice of $73,320 each. Bitcoin's large overnight decline has brought the price down to $115,000, making MSTR's stack worth about $72 billion.
Saylor also announced that Strategy is revising its at-the-market (ATM) equity issuance guidance. Previously, the company had stated that it would not issue common stock when the shares were trading below 2.5x mNAV — a move intended to ease equity-holder concerns about dilution.
The updated guidance now provides flexibility to issue equity below this threshold when deemed advantageous to the company.
MSTR shares are lower by 2.2% premarket and down by more than 10% over the past week. Shares remain higher by about 20% year-to-date.
