Strategy delivered its fastest STRC issuance day yet on Monday, translating into an estimated 1,420 Bitcoin purchases in a single session. The company sold roughly 2.4 million shares of its perpetual preferred equity, Stretch (STRC), through its at-the-market (ATM) program. The estimated Bitcoin haul exceeded the prior daily record of 1,069 Bitcoin.
The jump followed an adjustment to how Strategy’s ATM program can be executed. The company said a second sales agent can now sell STRC before the U.S. market opens and after it closes, easing an earlier limit that allowed only one agent per trading day. While the change is procedural, it effectively expands the time window for share issuance, which can support faster and more continuous capital formation—particularly for a company using multiple securities to finance Bitcoin purchases.
STRC has become increasingly central to Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation approach. Stretch was launched in July 2025 as a variable-rate perpetual preferred stock that sits alongside other fundraising vehicles including STRD, STRF, STRK and common stock. Strategy says STRC pays monthly variable cash dividends, with the annualized rate for March set at 11.5%. That dividend structure helps explain why observers view the updated sales mechanics as more than a technical change: it reinforces one of the company’s most active tools for converting investor demand into additional Bitcoin exposure.
The scale of recent fundraising highlights continued investor appetite even when Strategy’s Bitcoin cost basis remains higher than current market levels. In the company’s prior estimate, last week’s projected STRC proceeds were expected to support about 4,300 BTC, or roughly $303 million, in weekly buying. Actual reported activity came in higher.
In its Monday SEC filing, Strategy disclosed around $378 million in STRC sales. The filing also reported a $1.3 billion Bitcoin purchase, described as one of the largest on record, while common stock MSTR generated nearly $900 million in proceeds. Taken together, these figures indicate accelerating financing momentum tied to Strategy’s ongoing Bitcoin purchases.
