Plans To Acquire More Bitcoin

The latest Strategy (MSTR) stock price rally comes following the company’s announcement of another capital raise to buy more BTC. In a press release, the company announced that it has entered into a sales agreement under which it may issue and sell shares of its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock at $0.0001 par value per share.

This amounts to an aggregate offering price of up to $2.1 billion. Strategy stated that it will make these stock sales in a disciplined manner over an extended period, taking into account the stock’s trading price and trading volumes at the time of sale.

The company then revealed that it intends to use the net proceeds from the At-The-Market (ATM) program for “general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin, and for working capital.”

The BTC Effect On The Stock’s Price

The MSTR stock and the Bitcoin price share a strong positive correlation, which could have contributed to the recent surge. As CoinGape reported, the Bitcoin price just reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $111,800.

Given the company’s exposure to the flagship crypto, MSTR is also expected to rally. However, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has warned that the stock’s price could correct before any sustained rally to the upside.

In an X post, he stated that the TD Sequential flashed a sell signal on MSTR’s weekly chart. Based on this, he remarked that he is anticipating a price correction.
