The company financed its latest Bitcoin purchase entirely through the net proceeds of its at-the-market equity offering program, according to a new SEC filing. Between February 9–16, 2026, Strategy raised approximately $169 million by selling 660,000 shares of Class A common stock and 785,354 shares of Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock.
Strategy now controls more than 3% of all Bitcoin in circulation, cementing its status as the largest corporate holder of the digital asset.
Company leadership has consistently stated it has no plans to sell any of its holdings, viewing each acquisition as a permanent addition to the balance sheet.
