Bitcoin maximalist Michael Saylor has once again pressed the "buy" button. According to an 8-K filing submitted to the SEC by MicroStrategy on June 30, the company bought an additional 4,980 bitcoins between June 23 and 29, spending a total of $531.9 million at an average price of around $106,801.
This transaction increased the company's total holdings to 597,325 BTC, representing approximately 2.8% of the Bitcoin supply, with an average cost of $70,982. This latest accumulation continues MicroStrategy's strategy of "only adding, never reducing." Saylor also reiterated his long-term position over the weekend on X platform, stating, "In 21 years, you will only wish you had bought more Bitcoin initially."
According to the documents, MicroStrategy once again utilized three At-The-Market (ATM) equity offerings to raise cash, including:
· MSTR Common Stock: Sold 1,354,500 shares, raising $519.5 million, with a remaining capacity of $18.11 billion.
· STRK 8% Perpetual Preferred Stock: Sold 276,071 shares, raising $28.9 million, with a remaining capacity of $20.52 billion.
· STRF 10% Perpetual Preferred Stock: Sold 284,225 shares, raising $29.7 million, with a remaining capacity of $1.94 billion.
The three tranches totaled $5.781 billion, and in addition to the Bitcoin purchases, MicroStrategy also paid dividends for STRK and STRF that were due on June 30.
Currently, there is approximately $40.6 billion still available in the aforementioned three tranches, providing ammunition for the ongoing Strategy of executing a "Stock Issuance – Bitcoin Purchase – Stock Price Boost" flywheel model. However, with preferred stock dividends at 8% and 10% respectively, cash flow pressure will increase with the expansion of the issuance volume; common stockholders will also face stock dilution.
Furthermore, according to Bitcoin News, MicroStrategy's stock has now been included in the Russell 200 Value Index. The Russell 200 Value Index is a type of index maintained by FTSE Russell, belonging to the Russell Index series. It selects stocks with "value-type" characteristics from the largest 200 U.S. listed companies in the Russell 3000 Index, measures the performance of U.S. mega-cap value stocks through market capitalization weighting, and usually serves as a benchmark for mega-cap value investing.
According to Google Finance data, MicroStrategy's stock price has risen by 34% year-to-date. As of the close of July 1 after the U.S. stock market opened on June 30, MSTR was trading at $404.23, up by 5.3%, with a market capitalization of approximately $112.9 billion.
Additionally, in the Bitcoin market, BTC has been trading sideways around the $107,000 level for over a week, without showing a clear direction.
