Summary: Strategy (MSTR) sold approximately 5.43 million shares through its "at-the-market" program, raising net proceeds of about $544.5 million. The funds were not used to purchase new BTC; instead, the company continued to expand its cash reserves. Saylor stated that dollar reserves have increased to $3.75 billion, sufficient to cover about 2.1 years of preferred stock dividends. Approximately $25 million was used to repurchase about 288,930 shares of STRC stock. Roughly one month after the last BTC purchase announcement, Strategy again did not add to its BTC holdings; total BTC position stands at approximately 843,775 coins, with an average cost of about $75,476. 👀 Investor focus has shifted to: When will Saylor deploy these billions in cash for the next major BTC purchase.

Michael Saylor's strategy once again raised hundreds of millions of dollars, but surprisingly, none of it was used to purchase new Bitcoin (BTC). Instead, the company continued to expand its cash position. At this point, the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder appears to be deliberately hitting the brakes, while investors await the next large-scale purchase.
Strategy Builds Multi-Billion Dollar Reserves
A new SEC filing shows that Strategy sold 5.43 million MSTR shares last week through its so-called at-the-market program. The company raised approximately $544.5 million in net proceeds.
Michael Saylor stated that dollar reserves have increased to $3.75 billion. He noted that this amount is sufficient to cover the company's preferred stock dividend obligations for about 2.1 years.
Strategy has increased its dollar reserves by $525 million, achieving 2.1 years of dividend coverage. As of July 26, 2026, we hold 843,775 BTC and $3.75 billion in dollar reserves. $MSTR $STRC

A small portion of the raised funds ($25 million) was used to repurchase 288,930 shares of STRC stock. This is also evident from the official SEC filings.
Bitcoin Purchase Fails to Materialize Again
What investors had been primarily waiting for did not happen again. Strategy did not purchase any additional Bitcoin last week. This brings the total reserves to 843,775 BTC, for which the company paid approximately $63.69 billion in total, at an average purchase price of $75,476 per Bitcoin.
Approximately one month has passed since Strategy last announced a new Bitcoin purchase. Since then, the focus appears to have shifted toward strengthening the cash position.
This shift comes after the preferred stock STRC, which Strategy used to raise funds earlier this summer, came under considerable pressure. The price fell well below the $100 issue price at the time, prompting the company to first increase its liquidity buffer. STRC has since partially recovered, but the share price remains below the original issue price.
With $3.75 billion in cash reserves, Strategy now possesses considerable financial strength. Therefore, the biggest question facing investors is not whether Michael Saylor will buy Bitcoin again, but when he will decide to deploy the billions in reserves for the next purchase.
