Strategy Raises $334 Million in 3.5 Million-Share Sale, Keeps 840,447 Bitcoin

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 19

Summary

  • Strategy sold about 3.5 million shares through its at-the-market program, raising roughly $334 million without changing its bitcoin holdings.
  • The unchanged 840,447-bitcoin position leaves the company more cash-rich while preserving its core crypto exposure, a key part of its balance-sheet strategy.
  • At $104.25, the stock has rebounded recently—up 12.68% in one day and 9.93% in seven days—even after a steep 36.76% drop over 90 days and a 69.73% one-year shareholder loss.
  • Valuation metrics still look relatively low: Strategy trades at 1.2 times book value versus 3.1x for the broader U.S. software industry and 13.5x for peers.
  • That discount comes with clear risks, including ongoing net losses and heavy dependence on bitcoin price swings.
