Strategy<\/a>, the business intelligence firm formerly known as MicroStrategy, has reinforced its Bitcoin<\/a> position with another large purchase.<\/p>\n

In a Sept. 2 filing<\/a> with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company reported acquiring 4,048 BTC for $449.3 million, paying an average of $110,981 per coin.<\/p>\n

The move lifts Strategy\u2019s total Bitcoin balance to 636,505 BTC, obtained at a combined cost of $46.95 billion, or roughly $73,765 per coin. At current market prices, that stash is valued at $69.24 billion.<\/p>\n

According to Bitcoin Treasuries data<\/a>, the firm\u2019s holdings now represent just over 3% of Bitcoin\u2019s maximum supply, giving Strategy one of the largest corporate positions in the asset.<\/p>\n

Following this purchase, Strategy announced that it had adjusted the dividend rate on its STRC<\/a> preferred stock, raising the annual payout from 9% to 10%. The security, launched in July, is non-convertible and designed to deliver variable-rate income.<\/p>\n

‘Reduced leverage'<\/h2>\n

The latest deal was financed through a mix of common and preferred stock offerings.<\/p>\n

According to the filing, Strategy sold 1.24 million shares of its Class A common stock for $425.3 million. The company raised the $46.5 million balance through its preferred share programs, including STRK, STRF, and STRD.<\/p>\n

This imbalance drew criticism from short seller James Chanos, who has publicly bet against the firm.<\/p>\n

Chanos argued that the heavy reliance on common stock suggests investors remain wary of the preferred offerings, which are structured for income seekers and higher-risk participants.<\/p>\n

He wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“MSTR continued to REDUCE its leverage this past week. 90% of its securities sold was from the common equity ATM.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite Chanos's claim, Strategy has already raised $5.6 billion in 2025 through the initial public offerings of these securities. Notably, the IPOs account for 12% of all US initial public offerings this year.<\/p>\n

Considering this, Strategy's supporters continue to argue that there is a significant demand for these assets in the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
