Strategy reports $82 million in stock sales as Bitcoin buying pauses

Strategy raised $82 million through a share sale last week but left its Bitcoin holdings untouched, an SEC filing revealed Monday.

The company, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, sold 492,210 Class A shares between April 27 and May 3 without deploying any of the proceeds into Bitcoin, keeping its treasury frozen at 818,334 BTC, now valued at $64.5 billion.

Executive Chairman Michael Saylor had flagged the buying hiatus earlier on social media.

“No buys this week. Back to work next week,” Saylor stated.

The pause came ahead of Strategy’s first-quarter earnings due Tuesday. Last week, the company reported purchasing 3,273 Bitcoin for $255 million.

The 818,334 Bitcoin on Strategy’s balance sheet were acquired at an average price of roughly $75,537 each. At current market prices, that stack sits on approximately $2.7 billion in unrealized gains.
