Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:MSTR) rallied along with Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency rally followed a White House meeting with industry executives, while the Treasury Department's expanded bond-buyback plans lowered long-term yields and weakened the dollar.
However, Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:MSTR) is not a simple leveraged Bitcoin fund. The company held 843,775 Bitcoin on July 26, sold 1,638 Bitcoin during July 27-August 2, and another 1,690 during August 3-9, leaving 840,447 Bitcoin. That position was worth approximately $57.5 billion at Wednesday's Bitcoin price, but the figure represents gross **** et value rather than value attributable to common shareholders.
Common issuance increases gross Bitcoin per share only when the Bitcoin acquired per incremental **** umed diluted share exceeds the existing ratio. Issuing above net **** et value alone is insufficient because the share denominator and use of proceeds determine the result. Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:MSTR) reported that its company-defined Bitcoin-per-share metric increased 5% during the second quarter to 210,824 satoshis.
Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:MSTR) also had a $4.80 billion reserve as of August 16, including unsettled at-the-market offering proceeds. The reserve provides a buffer for contractual debt interest and preferred dividends when declared, although the preferred series have different terms, including **** ulative provisions for certain securities. This liquidity reduces near-term dependence on favorable Bitcoin or capital-market conditions.
Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:MSTR) reported $6.7 billion of aggregate convertible principal and a $15.5 billion aggregate preferred notional amount in May. At June 30, preferred equity had a $14.44 billion carrying amount and a $15.46 billion liquidation preference; repurchases began after quarter-end. These claims sit ahead of common equity under a basic-share valuation framework.
