Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has just announced its largest Bitcoin purchase of the year following the successful completion of its STRC IPO—currently the biggest public offering of 2025. This move solidifies Strategy’s position as the largest public holder of BTC in the world.
21,021 BTC Acquired for $2.46 Billion
In its official press release, Strategy confirmed it had used the net proceeds of the STRC IPO to purchase 21,021 BTC worth $2.46 billion, at an average price of $117,256 per Bitcoin. This brings the company’s total holdings to 628,791 BTC, accumulated at a cost basis of $46.8 billion and an average purchase price of $73,227 per BTC.
This latest acquisition surpasses previous 2025 purchases—$1.92 billion in March and $1.34 billion in May. Strategy also reported a 25% year-to-date return on its BTC holdings.
Interestingly, the announcement comes just one day after the company stated it had not made any BTC purchases between July 21 and 27, making this a strategic and well-timed accumulation.
STRC: The First Bitcoin-Backed Preferred Stock with Monthly Dividends
The gross proceeds from the STRC IPO totaled $2.521 billion, and after deducting underwriting discounts, fees, and offering costs, Strategy retained approximately $2.474 billion in net capital—almost all of which was used to buy more Bitcoin.
The STRC IPO is now considered the largest crypto-related offering in years and the biggest U.S. preferred stock listing since 2009. Shares of STRC are expected to begin trading on Nasdaq on July 30 under the ticker STRC.
Strategy also emphasized that STRC will be the first publicly listed preferred security in the U.S. tied to Bitcoin, and will come with a monthly dividend policy set by the company’s board. It expands Strategy’s series of yield-focused offerings, which already include STRK, STRF, and STRD, from which it raised a combined $2.3 billion earlier this year.
MicroStrategy Shares Remain Flat
Despite this major announcement, shares of MicroStrategy (MSTR) remained mostly flat in after-hours trading. During the regular session, MSTR dropped over 2%, falling below the $400 mark.
🔹 Summary:
Strategy has made its boldest Bitcoin move yet, using proceeds from the record-breaking STRC IPO to purchase over $2.4 billion worth of BTC. At the same time, it introduces a first-of-its-kind Bitcoin-backed preferred stock offering monthly dividends, reinforcing Michael Saylor’s long-standing vision of Bitcoin as the ultimate corporate treasury asset.
