In addition to Bitcoin holdings, Strategy has also updated the execution status of its At-The-Market Offering (ATM). The announcement stated that from December 15 to December 21, the company did not continue to increase its Bitcoin position, but instead sold 4.535 million shares of Class A common stock (MSTR) through the ATM program, bringing in approximately $747.8 million in net fundraising (after deducting sales commissions).

As for the multiple perpetual preferred stocks, including the STRF, STRK, and STRD series, there were no issuances or sales this week. As of December 21, Strategy still retains a large ATM issuance capacity, with the nominal amount available for issuance and sale of common stocks and various preferred stocks totaling hundreds of billions of dollars, providing high flexibility for subsequent capital allocation.

Reserve in USD rises to 2.19 billion USD

In terms of capital structure, Strategy has also updated its USD reserve status. The company indicated that its USD reserves established on December 1 had an original scale of 1.44 billion USD, mainly for the purpose of paying preferred stock dividends and addressing interest expenses on existing debts.

As of December 21, the dollar reserve balance of Strategy has increased to $2.19 billion. The market interprets this as a sign that MicroStrategy is not only continuing to bet on Bitcoin but is also simultaneously strengthening short-term liquidity and financial stability to support its highly leveraged, asset-heavy Bitcoin treasury strategy.
