According to the 8-K filing submitted by Strategy to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company purchased 1,587 bitcoins at an average price of approximately $63,024 between June 8 and 14, 2026, for a total of roughly $100 million. The funds came from the ATM program for MicroStrategy (MSTR) common stock. During the same period, the company sold 1.7326 million shares of MSTR common stock via the ATM program, raising net proceeds of approximately $209 million. As of June 14, 2026, Strategy held a cumulative total of 846,842 bitcoins, with a total cost basis of approximately $64.07 billion and an average purchase price of about $75,656 per bitcoin.
According to CoinDesk, Michael Saylor and Bitcoin advocate Matthew Kratter have engaged in a public debate over whether Strategy’s (MSTR) latest round of Bitcoin purchases has diluted shareholders. The dispute centers on Strategy’s Bitcoin yield, which declined from 13.0% on June 1 to 12.8% on June 8 following the acquisition of 1,550 additional BTC. During the same period, the company’s Bitcoin holdings increased from 843,706 BTC to 845,256 BTC, while the diluted share count rose from 382.756 million to 384.180 million shares. Matthew Kratter contends that this shift indicates dilution in terms of “BTC per share.” Michael Saylor counters that Bitcoin yield is merely a narrow metric measuring “BTC per share” and fails to capture overall shareholder value creation. He notes that this transaction also added approximately $100 million in cash reserves, raising the company’s U.S. dollar reserves to roughly $1 billion—thus delivering net value accretion when viewed through a broader balance-sheet lens. The debate over how to interpret these metrics has sparked discussion among market participants. Some argue the company is “adjusting its metrics to fit its narrative,” while short sellers characterize this as a common corporate practice of “metric switching.”
Fortune magazine analyzed that although Bitcoin’s recent decline has weakened MicroStrategy’s (MSTR) stock price, the company’s current market capitalization still trades at a ~31% premium to its underlying net asset value. The analysis suggests this premium stems from the market’s prior endorsement of Michael Saylor’s “Bitcoin appreciation flywheel” model; however, as this model falters, the associated premium faces further compression risk.
crypto research institution Delphi Digital has released its latest report, "How Far Can Saylor Stretch It," providing a systematic analysis of Strategy's Bitcoin (BTC) capital expansion mechanism. It indicates that the company's financing structure is transitioning from a phase of "low-cost accumulation" into one of "diminishing marginal efficiency."The report shows that within the current asset accumulation system centered on Bitcoin, STRC has become the core financing tool for Strategy's continued BTC purchases. Initially, the company relied on a significant premium in MSTR's stock price (with mNAV far exceeding BTC's net asset value) to create a positive cycle where "issuing shares meant increasing holdings." However, as valuations have receded to approximately 1.24 times the base mNAV of enterprise value, the BTC-per-share accretion effect from common stock issuance is approaching a break-even point.Meanwhile, while convertible bonds have played a crucial role historically, they have accumulated a principal of approximately $8.2 billion and face concentrated repayment pressure after September 2027, putting long-term strain on the sustainability of the financing structure.STRC provides Strategy with a continuous source of financing—used to maintain its BTC buying pace—by offering yield-seeking investors an approximately 11.5% annualized monthly dividend. However, this mechanism also introduces ongoing cash flow obligations, meaning that each round of financing simultaneously builds future dividend burdens while increasing BTC assets.The report emphasizes a key risk scenario: if BTC's price remains stagnant and MSTR's premium fails to recover, the "gains from STRC-financed coin purchases" could be progressively offset by "common stock dilution and dividend obligations." Although the company's approximately $2.25 billion cash reserve can cover its roughly $1 billion redemption pressure in 2027, its larger debt and dividend structure in 2028 remains unresolved.Furthermore, STRC's current authorized issuance limit of approximately $28.3 billion serves as a critical constraint. Once this limit is reached, the capacity for new BTC purchases may slow, yet existing dividend obligations will persist—thereby altering the overall dynamic growth trajectory of BTC per share.
investment bank TD Cowen on Thursday raised its price target for Strategy (MSTR) to $395 from $385, believing the market underestimates the capital efficiency of the company’s bitcoin accumulation strategy following its increased issuance of STRC perpetual preferred stock. Analysts Lance Vitanza and Jonnathan Navarrete indicated that the new target still implies over 110% upside from Strategy’s Wednesday closing price of $186.82.The analysis notes that Strategy is gradually reducing common equity financing and increasingly relying on STRC perpetual preferred stock, which yields 11.5%, to fund bitcoin purchases. STRC is also a core component of Michael Saylor’s “42/42 plan,” which aims to raise $42 billion each through equity and fixed-income instruments over three years.TD Cowen believes the market underestimates the effect of the STRC structure on boosting “BTC Yield,” a metric measuring the company’s growth in bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share. The report raised its BTC Yield forecast for Strategy’s fiscal 2026 to 18.2% from 16.7%, and for 2027 to 9.6% from 5.4%. Additionally, analysts argue that concerns about Strategy being a “perpetual dilution machine” are exaggerated. The company’s annual preferred stock dividend payments, currently around $1.5 billion, represent only about 2.2% of the value of its 818,334 BTC reserve.In TD Cowen’s base case scenario, bitcoin is expected to reach $140,000 by the end of 2026. In a bull case, bitcoin could rise to $175,000, with Strategy potentially purchasing over $5 billion in bitcoin per quarter. (The Block)
Odaily Strategy founder Michael Saylor posted on X yesterday stating that the company will suspend its routine weekly Bitcoin purchase plan this week, marking the second time this year it has paused weekly accumulation.To date, Strategy holds a total of 818,334 BTC, representing approximately 3.9% of Bitcoin's total supply. Data from Saylortracker shows that as Bitcoin staged a strong rebound today, breaking through the $80,000 mark, the total market value of BTC held by Strategy has returned to above $65 billion, currently standing at $65.74 billion. The average cost price is $75,537, with an unrealized profit of $3.926 billion.Strategy is expected to announce its Q1 earnings on Tuesday, with the market anticipating a loss per share of $18.98, higher than the loss of $16.38 per share in the same period last year. Its ongoing coin purchases are primarily financed through stock (MSTR) and perpetual preferred stock. Among these, the high-dividend product STRC (annualized yield approximately 11.5%) has raised concerns among some analysts regarding structural risks, though others argue that this model can convert yield demands into long-term Bitcoin exposure.
