The company’s Bitcoin Yield metric is used to gauge how effective its BTC accumulation strategy is. Rather than representing yield obtained on its BTC holdings, it represents the percentage change in the ratio between its BTC holdings and assumed diluted shares outstanding.
Strategy’s Bitcoin Purchases Financed Through Share Offering
Strategy tapped into a previously established sales agreement to offload 516,413 shares during the same period of BTC accumulation, generating net proceeds of approximately $179 million after commissions.
As of February 9, the company still maintains the capacity to issue and sell up to $4.17 billion worth of shares under this agreement. Furthermore, the company successfully completed its public offering of 7.3 million shares of its 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock on February 5, known as the STRK Offering.
Priced at $80.00 per share, the offering is expected to yield net proceeds of around $563.4 million, after accounting for underwriting fees and other expenses.
The business intelligence firm first started accumulating Bitcoin more than four years ago, in August 2020, when it made an initial investment of around $250 million to buy 21,454 BTC. It then became the first publicly-traded company to adopt a Bitcoin allocation strategy.
