The company is expected to have used proceeds from the MSTR stock’s ATM offering. Last week, it announced raising $82 million via the at-the-market stock sale, which was sufficient to acquire more than 1,000 BTC at the time.

However, the Michael Saylor-backed firm chose not to use these proceeds to buy Bitcoin as it paused acquisitions last Monday. Hence, a part of these funds could have been channeled in the purchase announced today.

Scale of Purchases Remains Low

Earlier, Michael Saylor hinted at such an acquisition move with his “Back to work” post on X. On Sunday, May 11, he made a social media post, which also contained the Orange Dots chart that tracks Strategy’s BTC purchases to date.

It immediately sparked hopes of the company resuming Bitcoin acquisitions. With today’s announcement, these speculations have been verified. However, the scale of purchases still remains very low, dropping more than 83% from the last purchase.

Earlier, on April 27, the company downscaled its BTC acquisition by nearly 90%. At that time, it bought $255 million in Bitcoin. Though the amount was significant, it was way lesser than April 20’s purchase of a whopping $2.54 billion worth of BTC.
