This article was first published on The Bit Journal. Strategy Bitcoin accumulation efforts continued as Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, expanded its massive Bitcoin holdings with another $100 million purchase. The transaction marks the company’s continued dedication to Bitcoin, but it has also sparked questions about whether common shareholders are getting their share from the firm’s aggressive acquisition approach.
Strategy Bitcoin Holdings Reach New Milestone
On June 15, Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor revealed that they had bought 1,587 Bitcoin at an average price of $63,024 per BTC. This latest Strategic Bitcoin acquisition brought the company’s total supply to 846,842 BTC, or over 4% of Bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million BTC.
Strategy has acquired 1,587 BTC for $100 million to increase our $BTC Reserve to ₿846,842. We have also increased our USD Reserve by $100 million to $1.1 billion. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/27PYXJN7GD

The purchase also solidifies Strategy’s status as the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world. A business intelligence software company has been transforming to become a Bitcoin investment tool that is increasingly being followed by both traditional investors and crypto enthusiasts.
The timing of the purchase, however, is coming under a spotlight of scrutiny. Bitcoin has come down from the record highs and Strategy’s stock has been under pressure again as investors wonder if the company’s financing model still generates value for shareholders.
Equity Sales Fund Latest Purchase
A recent SEC filing states that the last Strategy Bitcoin acquisition was funded through the sale of its Class A common stock. The company reported selling about 1.7 million MSTR shares for an amount of about $209 million. Of those figures, almost $100 million was spent on Bitcoin purchases, with another $100 million deposited into the company’s dollar reserves, giving the company a total of about $1.1 billion in cash.
However, Strategy remains in a strong position for raising funds. The company currently holds $25.75 billion in existing at-the-market stock program availability, and has grown its stock program by adding preferred and common shares to support its more comprehensive Strategy Bitcoin treasury strategy.
BTC Yield Decline Sparks Dilution Concerns
Critics say that Strategy bought more bitcoins, but it decreased the number of bitcoins per common share. BTC Yield is the company’s proprietary metric that reflects the amount of Bitcoin held per diluted shares. Despite the total Strategy Bitcoin holdings rising during the same time, BTC Yield fell from 13.0% on June 1 to 12.5% after the latest purchase.
Bitcoin advocate and regular critic of Strategy, Matthew Kratter, noted that co-shareholders are getting diluted through repeated equity issuances, which is evident in the fall. He said:
“Congratulations to Saylor and Strategy for diluting MSTR shareholders once again over the weekend! Bitcoin per share dropped yet again, and the Saylor simps are too stupid to understand what’s happening to them.”
On one side, skeptics have a simple question: more shares are being issued, which means that each individual investor’s stake in the company’s holdings of Bitcoin is smaller, and the viability of the Strategy Bitcoin model is questionable.

Strategy Bitcoin Model Extends Beyond BTC
Saylor has dismissed the notion that BTC Yield is the complete picture. Instead, he refers to a bigger concept known as Common Equity Bitcoin Exposure (CEBE), which takes into account Bitcoin ownership along with cash reserves, obligation repayment and preferred stocks claims.
Saylor said that looking at Bitcoin per share only doesn’t account for improvements to Strategy’s overall balance sheet. He states that common shareholders are the owners of the remaining value of the firm, after the senior obligations are satisfied.
Those who advocate for this strategy feel that holding large cash reserves along with Bitcoin purchases can bolster Strategy’s financial agility and bolster its total worth to shareholders in the long run under its umbrella, the Strategy Bitcoin program.
Not all liabilities are equal. Short-duration, high-cost liabilities can turn amplification into risk and underperformance. Long-duration, low-cost liabilities can turn amplification into common equity upside. If BTC ARR exceeds the cost of capital, a well-capitalized Bitcoin…

Strategy Bitcoin Deal Divides Market Opinions
The recent Strategy Bitcoin transaction has been a topic that has stirred up a lot of mixed emotions from the market.
Lekker Capital chief investment officer Quinn Thompson said in a statement that Strategy should focus on making its balance sheet more solid, not fueling the growth of its shares with bitcoin acquisitions. He suggested that selling stock trading below net asset value to purchase Bitcoin may disadvantage common shareholders.
Likewise, Nic Puckrin, CEO of Coin Bureau, said Strategy’s choices get cut back when the stock price drops below the value of the Bitcoin assets.
I'm genuinely concerned about Strategy's position right now.
Trading at 84% of its Bitcoin value, every option available to them makes things worse:
– Issue stock → dilutes BTC per share
– Issue more prefs → adds to a $10.7B cash obligation
– Sell Bitcoin → panic the market…

Others disagree. Dylan LeClair of Metaplanet and independent analyst Adam Livingston suggested that taking into account the company’s cash reserves and its wider balance sheet, the deal could still be accretive for shareholders.
Adam Livingston estimated that Strategy acquired 1,587 BTC and also boosted its cash reserves by an estimated $100 million, bringing the company’s common residual value to an estimated 3,146 BTC. He said this change took the common equity Bitcoin exposure from 145,142 satoshis per share to 145,319 satoshis per share. He said:
“BTC-only looked dilutive. BTC plus cash was accretive.”
Net the debt + prefs out and the common trades at a premium, as EV > BTC NAV.
Outright market cap trades at a discount to BTC NAV as a result of the debt+prefs you’re cautioning against.
Selling common here increases USD NAV/share, while slightly decreasing BPS and leverage %

As the number of holdings increases, one issue that remains to be considered is whether investors will stick with Saylor’s future vision, or if dwindling Bitcoin exposure per share will eventually temper investor confidence in the company’s strategy.
Conclusion
As Strategy Bitcoin holdings continue to grow, the debate over shareholder value is unlikely to fade. It is unclear whether Saylor’s financing model will ultimately benefit investors or reduce the amount of Bitcoin exposure they receive per share will depend on the future performance of bitcoin and the market’s appetite for Strategy’s model of financing.
