Strategy Raises $2B, Creates New USD Cash Pool as Bitcoin Holdings Turn Profitable
MSTR sits 54% above its 52-week low of $81.81.
Summary
Strategy raised $2 billion via stock sales last week, selling 18.26 million shares between Aug. 17-23. Proceeds were split: $300M to USD Reserve (now $5.1B), $136.4M to repurchase 1.43M STRC preferred shares, and $1.59B into a new USD Cash pool for flexible Bitcoin treasury operations. No Bitcoin was bought or sold; holdings remain 840,447 BTC at an average cost of $75,385, now worth ~$2.4B in unrealized profit after Bitcoin's 24% surge. Total dollar liquidity now stands at $6.69B, the largest since the treasury strategy began. This follows the company's recent halt in Bitcoin purchases and the new Digital Credit Capital Framework. The new USD Cash pool gives management flexibility to buy Bitcoin, repurchase shares, or repay debt quickly. Watch for deployment of the $1.59B pool and any resumption of Bitcoin acquisitions.
