Strategy Acquires 21,021 Bitcoin for $2.474 Billion, Boosting Holdings by 3.4%

's latest price was $, in the last 24 hours. Strategy, a prominent Bitcoin treasury company, has recently acquired 21,021 Bitcoin, funded through its latest preferred stock offering, which raised $2.5 billion. This acquisition is part of Strategy's ongoing efforts to expand its Bitcoin holdings and reinforce its leadership in corporate crypto finance and digital assets. The STRC preferred shares, which are tradable on the Nasdaq, will be launched this Wednesday. This is the fourth preferred stock offering by Strategy, following STRK, STRF, and STRD, each with different structures to appeal to various investors. The company has used a combination of equity dealings, debt issues, and convertibles to expand its holdings, with the primary goal of aggregating Bitcoins as a long-term strategic asset.

The recent acquisition of Bitcoin represents the largest amount that Strategy has ever bought in one instance since March 31, 2025. The current balance of the BTC that the company’s facility possesses is in excess of 628,791, making the company the top corporate holder of BTC in terms of numbers compared to other publicly traded companies. Over 160 publicly traded firms have reported cryptocurrency on their balance sheets to date, with an increasing number of institutions trading in the new asset type. Some interpret the fact that Strategy reserves are planning a heavy capital allocation as an indicator that they believe in the long-term value of Bitcoin.

At the same time, the move has sparked debate. Critics argue that it may be risky to focus capital in a speculative commodity such as Bitcoin. They caution against the possibility of a sudden price adjustment that may affect investors and shareholders. But proponents believe that the plan is well-planned. They are convinced that Bitcoin has the potential to grow, particularly during uncertain economic times, hence the move. Investors’ interest and confidence are also captured by the fact that the valuation of the firm stood at 46.8 billion as of July 27, 2025. It also brings to light that the conventional financial markets are beginning to embrace and acknowledge the presence of digital assets such as Bitcoin.

As a means of treating Bitcoin as a core asset, Strategy focuses on being an opportunity between institutional capital and the crypto world. Most of the funds are reinvested in Bitcoin by Strategy, in contrast to many companies that diversify their assets. This is an indication of faith in the long-term power of Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and market uncertainties. The record-breaking STRC offering of Strategy and subsequent Bitcoin purchase indicate a new era of corporate finance. The company is reshaping traditional investment models by integrating digital assets into mainstream finance. Its large-scale crypto involvement is redefining how institutions engage with cryptocurrencies.

Strategy, the leading bitcoin treasury firm, has announced the purchase of 21,021 BTC using proceeds from its recent $2.52 billion public offering. The acquisition was completed at an average price of $117,256 per bitcoin. Strategy used approximately $2.474 billion of the net proceeds for this transaction, increasing its total bitcoin holdings to 628,791 BTC. The company raised the capital through its Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC), pricing 28,011,111 shares at $90 each. The preferred shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker STRC starting July 30, 2025. This offering marks the largest U.S. IPO of the year and is the biggest exchange-listed preferred stock issuance since 2009.

With this purchase, Strategy’s cumulative investment in bitcoin now stands at approximately $46.08 billion. The company’s average acquisition cost across all holdings is $73,277 per bitcoin. According to public statements, Strategy has achieved a 25.0% year-to-date return on its bitcoin portfolio as of July 29, 2025. Strategy’s aggressive accumulation strategy continues to position it as the largest corporate holder of bitcoin globally. The firm previously acquired 6,220 BTC for $740 million just one week before the latest purchase. Its 42/42 program aims to raise $84 billion by 2027 to acquire additional BTC.

Despite continued bitcoin accumulation by Strategy and other entities, BTC/USD prices have remained below $120,000. This has occurred amid market anticipation of U.S. Federal Reserve announcements. On-chain data shows increased activity from whale investors, suggesting confidence in long-term price action. The STRC shares will offer a variable 9% annual dividend, paid monthly. Designed to appeal to income-focused investors, the instrument introduces a new class of bitcoin-linked securities. Strategy worked with firms including Morgan Stanley and Barclays to manage the offering.
