USD Reserve Grows Through Stock Sales
Strategy funded the reserve increase through sales under its at-the-market (ATM) offering program, a mechanism the company has used consistently to raise capital as part of its broader treasury strategy. Between August 3 and August 9, 2026, the company sold 6,585,682 shares of Class A common stock, generating $653.1 million in net proceeds during the week.
Of that amount, $650 million went directly into the USD Reserve. The remaining $3.1 million was added to Strategy's general cash balance. The company confirmed the update in a post on its official X account, noting the capital allocation moves "tightened STRC's BTC Credit by 10 bps."
The USD Reserve exists to support dividend payments on Strategy's preferred stock and interest on its outstanding debt. As of August 9, 2026, its balance stood at $4.65 billion, a figure that includes cash expected from ATM shares sold but not yet settled.
Strategy retains substantial capacity under its equity programs. As of August 9, 2026, $17.51 billion in Class A common stock remained available for issuance. The company also holds $2.1 billion in unused capacity for its STRK preferred stock offering. Together, these figures indicate significant remaining runway for the company's capital allocation activities.
