The purchases were made through a sales agreement signed on August 1 with several financial institutions, allowing Microstrategy to sell up to $2 billion in shares. By September 12, 2024, the company had raised approximately $1.11 billion by selling 8,048,449 shares. Microstrategy has relied heavily on stock sales to fund its bitcoin purchases, and these transactions continue as part of the company’s strategy to accumulate more digital assets.

“As of September 12, 2024, the Company and its subsidiaries held a total of approximately 244,800 bitcoins,” the company’s filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed.

Microstrategy also highlights its BTC Yield as a performance metric. The metric returned 4.4% from July 1 to September 12 and has returned 17.0% year to date. BTC Yield measures the ratio of bitcoin holdings to outstanding shares, assessing the effectiveness of a strategy to increase shareholder value through bitcoin purchases. However, the company acknowledges that BTC Yield has limitations, including not taking into account liabilities and the possibility of debt refinancing.
