Strategy Eyes More Bitcoin With $711M War Chest

Table of Contents

Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has once again hinted at a forthcoming Bitcoin purchase, following the company’s recent $711 million capital raise through a preferred stock offering.

Saylor sparked speculation with a post on X, sharing a Sunday Bitcoin price chart along with the caption “needs more orange,” implying a potential acquisition as soon as Monday—when traditional financial markets reopen.

The post came shortly after Strategy’s most recent Bitcoin acquisition on March 17, when the firm purchased 130 BTC for approximately $10.7 million. This brought its total Bitcoin holdings to 499,226 BTC. While modest compared to previous buys, the purchase marked the company’s return to Bitcoin accumulation following a two-week pause.

More Capital, More Bitcoin?

On March 21, the company announced the pricing of its latest preferred stock offering, issuing shares at $85 each with a 10% coupon. The sale is expected to bring in around $711 million in proceeds—funds that could fuel further Bitcoin acquisitions.

This capital influx reinforces the firm’s aggressive approach to accumulating BTC as a long-term treasury asset. The company has been steadily growing its position, even amid volatile market conditions.

Saylor’s Vision for Bitcoin’s Future

Beyond Strategy’s corporate moves, Saylor remains one of Bitcoin’s most high-profile advocates. He has actively encouraged public companies to adopt Bitcoin and has lobbied the US government to embrace digital assets.

In his proposal titled A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy, Saylor called on the US to acquire up to 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply by 2035—by which time 99% of all BTC is expected to be mined.

Saylor also delivered his “21 Truths of Bitcoin” speech at the recent Blockworks Digital Asset Summit, where he reiterated his belief that Bitcoin is a superior store of value compared to traditional assets like gold. “There is only one commodity in the history of the human race that was not a garbage investment—the one commodity is Bitcoin,” he told the audience.

Strategy BTC Bet Remains Profitable

Despite short-term market fluctuations, the company’s Bitcoin investment remains deeply in the green. The company is reportedly sitting on over $9.3 billion in unrealized gains, with its BTC portfolio up more than 28% to date.

With fresh capital on hand, Strategy appears poised to continue expanding its Bitcoin reserves. The company remains one of the largest corporate holders of BTC, and its ongoing accumulation strategy may influence broader institutional adoption.
