The company continues to fund these purchases through equity sales and preferred stock offerings. Its long-term plan includes raising capital through multiple programs over the next few years to support further Bitcoin acquisitions. Strategy now holds close to 4% of Bitcoin’s total supply. This makes it one of the largest corporate holders.

Michael Saylor also signaled the move ahead of the announcement. In a post shared before the filing, he updated Strategy’s Bitcoin tracker.
