Market watchers now expect another update in the company’s next filing. Strategy has used similar Sunday messages before announcing purchases on Monday.
It currently holds 738,731 BTC. The holdings are valued near $53 billion at current prices.
The company has completed 102 Bitcoin purchases since 2020. These acquisitions created the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury.
The firm recently added 17,994 BTC in a purchase worth about $1.28 billion. The buy increased the company’s exposure during a period of market volatility.
Traders believe another acquisition may already be underway. Some analysts estimate Strategy could have purchased more than 1,000 BTC this week.
The estimates follow activity linked to the company’s at-the-market share program.
STRC Preferred Stock Drives Funding for Bitcoin Purchases
Strategy funds Bitcoin purchases through debt and equity sales, including the STRC preferred stock launched in 2025.
The security offers investors exposure to its Bitcoin strategy.
STRC has become the most liquid Bitcoin-linked preferred stock, with average daily trading volume around $295.9 million, surpassing several major preferred securities.
The trading activity is larger than preferred shares from companies such as Boeing and KKR.
Those securities record average daily volumes between $27.6 million and $35.8 million.
The product offers a variable dividend yield near 11.5%. Some analysts say the structure attracts investors seeking income and crypto exposure together.

Market Position and Bitcoin Supply Trends
Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. The company controls about 3.5% of the total Bitcoin supply.
Its holdings have grown steadily through frequent purchases across several years. The company funds many acquisitions through stock sales and convertible notes.
This strategy allows continued buying even during market declines. However, the approach also draws attention from short sellers.
Short interest in Strategy shares has increased in recent weeks. Investors who short the stock expect the price to fall.
The position reflects the company’s strong connection to Bitcoin price movements. Strategy shares recently traded near $138 in after-hours trading.
The stock closed Friday at $137.34. During the session it traded between $138.44 and $147.26.
Long-term holders still control about 79% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply.
The supply distribution shows that many investors continue to hold coins for extended periods.
The pattern suggests that Bitcoin ownership remains concentrated among long-term participants.
Strategy continues to expand its holdings while this broader market trend continues.
