Strategy resumes Bitcoin plan with $742m buy

Strategy executes its first Bitcoin purchase since rebrand and 2024 Q4 earnings report

Business intelligence firm Strategy has allocated an additional $742.4 million to Bitcoin (BTC) after issuing more shares through its at-the-market stock program, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company acquired 7,633 BTC for an average spot price of $97,255, increasing its total Bitcoin holdings to 478,740 tokens, valued at over $46 billion.

While Strategy has spent $31.1 billion on its BTC acquisition plan since 2020, this marks the first time the company has purchased Bitcoin following its rebrand to โ€œStrategy.โ€

Last week, the company, led by BTC advocate Michael Saylor removed โ€œMicroโ€ from its name to streamline operations and reinforce its identity as the worldโ€™s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Saylorโ€™s business also introduced a Bitcoin-themed orange logo, reaffirming its โ€œ21/21โ€ vision, which aims to add $42 billion worth of BTC to its balance sheet by late 2027.

Strategyโ€™s first BTC purchase since the rebrand comes despite losses disclosed in last weekโ€™s Q4 earnings call. During the final quarter of last year, Saylorโ€™s corporation reported BTC-related impairment losses totaling $670 million.

However, shareholders have supported Saylorโ€™s plans to increase BTC holdings. A vote approved a 30-fold increase in the number of shares offered through Strategyโ€™s ATM program.
