How Much Bitcoin Does Saylor’s Strategy Own After the Latest Acquisition?

The funds were raised through a mix of preferred stock offerings, including STRD, STRK, and STRF, as part of Strategy’s broader financial strategy to back Bitcoin buys with capital market instruments.

MicroStrategy (now rebranded as Strategy (MSTR)), under the leadership of Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, has purchased another 10,100 BTC, spending $1.05 billion at an average price of $104,080 per coin.

This marks the second acquisition in June alone, and it pushes Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 592,100 BTC, worth approximately $63.14 billion at current market prices. With an average purchase cost of $70,666 per BTC, the company now sits on an unrealized profit of over $21.2 billion.

STRD Fuels the Buy

Strategy funded the bulk of the latest purchase through proceeds from STRD, its third Bitcoin-backed preferred stock, which began trading on Nasdaq last Wednesday. Initially aiming to raise $250 million, the offering was met with strong demand and ultimately brought in nearly $1 billion through the public sale of 11.76 million shares priced at $100 each.

In addition to STRD, the company raised another $78.4 million from ATM offerings of its other preferred stock instruments, STRK and STRF. 

According to Strategy’s latest figures, the new purchase has pushed its BTC yield to 19.1% year-to-date, up from 17% earlier in June. The firm’s quarter-to-date yield now stands at 7.4%, placing it well on track to reach its targeted 25% yield by the end of 2025. Worth noting, Strategy added 1,045 BTC, only two weeks ago.

Interestingly, the timing of this latest buy shows strategic finesse. Bitcoin dropped from $110,000 on June 9 to $103,639 by Thursday amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Strategy capitalized on this temporary pullback, purchasing BTC at an average of $104,080— below the earlier peak.

Leading by Example

Saylor’s moves continue to set the tone for corporate Bitcoin adoption. He recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to congratulate Japan-based Metaplanet on achieving its goal of 10,000 BTC. Metaplanet, inspired by Strategy’s playbook, has now raised its target to 100,000 BTC by 2026, backed by a $5.4 billion funding plan.

In a lighthearted exchange, Metaplanet’s CEO Simon Gerovich even joked that Saylor should “leave some for the rest of us,” referring to the sheer scale of Strategy’s latest buy—equivalent to Metaplanet’s entire current portfolio.

With 592,100 BTC, Strategy is far ahead of every other corporate Bitcoin holder with a total investment of $41.84 billion. No other publicly traded company comes close. 

But it’s not just about accumulation. Strategy is now shaping the narrative and setting the standard for Bitcoin-backed corporate finance. STRD, STRK, and STRF are part of a new asset class—perpetual preferred stock backed by Bitcoin—that could eventually serve as a blueprint for other firms.

Moreover, as talks of a Bitcoin ETF for memecoins and rising AI-blockchain integration gain momentum, Strategy’s dominant position gives it leverage across multiple verticals in the crypto economy.
