Strategy Plans $80B Raise and $5B BTC Monetization to Fuel Bitcoin Treasury
MSTR sits 100% above its 52-week low of $81.81 on elevated volume (2.3× avg).
Summary
Strategy Inc is planning to raise up to $80 billion in 2026 through debt and equity to fund additional Bitcoin purchases, while expanding its BTC monetization program to allow up to $5 billion in bitcoin sales. The company also raised its repurchase cap to $2 billion and approved a $1 billion common stock buyback. Strategy recently bought 950 bitcoin for $76 million, bringing its total holdings to 846,000 BTC. These moves follow a year in which Strategy acquired a net ~168,000 BTC, bringing its total holdings to over 843,000 BTC as of Q2. The expanded capital program signals continued aggressive accumulation despite recent volatility and a Q2 net loss of $8.2 billion from unrealized bitcoin losses. The $5 billion monetization authorization provides flexibility to fund reserves, dividends, interest, and repurchases without selling core holdings.
