Bitcoin is currently trading at US$86K (AU$129K), a 3.5% decrease today and 18.5% in the year. Most of the downward pressure is being pushed by macroeconomic uncertainty and a risk-off sentiment by investors, as well as weak ETF inflows and liquidity.

Over $50 Billion in Bitcoin

Strategy says it has spent about US$50.3 billion (AU$76 billion) in total on bitcoin, including fees, at an average cost of US$74,972 (AU$114K) per BTC. Based on its stated valuation, the stash is worth close to US$60 billion (AU$91 billion), leaving roughly US$9.7 billion (AU$14 billion) in unrealised gains.

Strategy did not use operating income, but raised money by selling securities into the market, mainly shares of its Class A stock. Over the week, it sold about 4.8 million shares for roughly US$888.2 million (AU$1.35 billion). It also raised additional funds through several perpetual preferred stock offerings (STRK, STRF and STRD).

Strategy says it still has large remaining capacity to issue more stock and preferred shares. These sales are part of its “42/42” plan, which aims to raise US$84 billion (AU$128 billion) by 2027 through equity and convertible instruments, with the stated purpose of buying more bitcoin.
