Strategy Opens B In New ATM Capacity

Strategy filed a Form 8-K Monday disclosing up to $44.1 billion in new at-the-market equity capacity across three instruments: $21 billion in Class A common stock, $21 billion in Variable Rate "Stretch" Preferred Stock, and $2.1 billion in "Strike" Preferred Stock.

The filings simultaneously terminated the prior STRK program - which had roughly $20.3 billion in remaining capacity - replacing it with the dramatically smaller new shelf.

MSTR shares gained approximately 2% on the announcement Monday morning, recovering some of the ground lost over the weekend as Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $69,000 following Trump's 48-hour Iran ultimatum.

What Changed in the Capital Structure

The most significant structural move is the STRC-versus-STRK rebalancing. Strategy filed a Certificate of Increase raising authorized STRC shares from 70.4 million to 282.6 million. Simultaneously, it filed a Certificate of Decrease cutting authorized STRK shares from 269.8 million to 40.3 million.

The STRK program was terminated March 22. STRC is now the company's primary preferred funding vehicle; the instrument carries a variable dividend rate that has risen to 11.5% annually from 9% at its mid-2025 launch.

Three new sales agents were added to the Omnibus Sales Agreement: Moelis & Company, A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, and StoneX Financial, bringing the total agent count to 19. Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Cantor Fitzgerald, and Mizuho remain among the existing agents.

Bitcoin Holdings and Remaining Capacity

As of March 22, Strategy held 762,099 BTC at an aggregate purchase price of $57.69 billion, averaging $75,694 per coin.

The company purchased an additional 1,019 BTC last week. Under previous programs, approximately $1.98 billion in STRC and $6.24 billion in MSTR common stock capacity remained before Monday's new shelves were filed.

Both prior MSTR and STRC programs will continue until exhausted before the new addenda take effect.
