From April 14 to April 20, MicroStrategy sold 1,755,000 shares of its Class A common stock, generating net proceeds of approximately $547.7 million. This leaves the company with $1.53 billion of its common stock available for issuance and sale under its Common ATM program, which has a total size of $21 billion and was established on October 30, 2024. InvestingPro analysis indicates the company’s current ratio of 0.71 suggests tight liquidity management, with short-term obligations exceeding liquid assets.

In the same period, the company also sold 91,213 shares of its 8.00% Series A perpetual strike preferred stock (NASDAQ:STRK), resulting in $7.8 million in net proceeds. The STRK ATM program, with a total size of $21 billion, was established on March 10, 2025, and now has $20.96 billion of STRK shares available for issuance and sale.

Moreover, MicroStrategy reported on its Bitcoin acquisitions for the week, purchasing 6,556 bitcoins at an aggregate purchase price of $555.8 million, with an average price of $84,785 per bitcoin. As of April 20, the company holds a total of 538,200 bitcoins, acquired for an aggregate price of $36.47 billion and at an average purchase price of $67,766 per bitcoin. The purchases were funded using proceeds from the Common ATM and STRK ATM programs.

These funds were utilized to purchase an additional 3,459 bitcoins, raising the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 531,644. MicroStrategy’s recent financial maneuvers include the establishment of a new ATM program for its Series A perpetual strike preferred stock, with $20.97 billion still available for issuance and sale. Furthermore, the company reported a substantial $5.91 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings, attributed to new accounting standards requiring the recognition of market value fluctuations in financial statements. This loss was partially offset by a $1.69 billion income tax benefit. Despite these developments, Benchmark analysts have maintained their Buy rating for MicroStrategy, setting a price target of $650. TD Cowen also reaffirmed its Buy rating, with a $550 price target, highlighting a strategic move involving non-convertible preferred shares to accelerate Bitcoin purchases.
