Strategy has re-accelerated its Bitcoin (BTC) purchases by reactivating its fundraising using STRC preferred stock. As STRC recovered its par value of $100, Strategy reopened its ATM window for market sales and immediately injected the raised funds into Bitcoin purchases.

U.Today reported on May 11 (local time) that Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, purchased $43 million worth of Bitcoin last week at an average purchase price of $80,340. According to Saylor's disclosure, Strategy acquired 535 BTC for approximately $43 million, and Bitcoin's year-to-date return since early 2026 has been 9.4%.

As of May 10, Strategy's Bitcoin holdings totaled 818,869 BTC. The total acquisition amount is approximately $61.86 billion, with an average purchase price of about $75,540 per Bitcoin. U.Today evaluated that Strategy's Bitcoin acquisition structure began to operate again as STRC recovered its par value after passing through its longest-ever decline period.

This reactivation signifies more than just additional purchases. In the first hour of STRC trading alone, the trading volume reached 77,000 shares, amounting to approximately $3.78 million, allowing the company to accumulate an additional 47 BTC. U.Today reported that in April, when Bitcoin purchases through STRC operated at their maximum level, Strategy bought 34,164 BTC in one week.

However, weaknesses in the STRC structure also emerged. After the April dividend record date, it took 18 days for STRC to recover, exposing the problem of increased price volatility during the dividend payment period. In response, Strategy's management put a reform plan to a shareholder vote to switch the dividend payment method to twice a month. The voting deadline is June 8.

Strategy expects that dividing dividend payments will reduce the pressure on STRC's price movements. If the new structure is approved, the first dividend payment could be made as early as July 15, 2026. This is interpreted as a measure to operate the structure of raising funds through STRC and purchasing Bitcoin more stably.

Saylor's principles have also changed. U.Today reported that Saylor's long-emphasized philosophy of “never selling Bitcoin” has now been officially recognized as an overly simplistic expression. The new principle has changed to the phrase “not being a net seller.” This means that while Bitcoin can be selectively sold for STRC dividend payments, if one Bitcoin is sold, an additional 10 to 20 Bitcoins will be purchased on top of that.

After STRC recovered to $100 again, Strategy has already invested $43 million in Bitcoin purchases. U.Today pointed out that with the so-called 'money printing machine' back in operation, Saylor's new principle is being put to the test in actual market conditions.
