MicroStrategy has temporarily halted sales of its four preferred-share classes, pausing its major Bitcoin acquisition strategy for 2026. The company raised $82 million from selling 492,210 Class A shares last week but did not purchase any Bitcoin during this period. This marks a significant shift from April, when MicroStrategy used preferred shares to finance a $2.54 billion Bitcoin purchase. The Securities and Exchange Commission filing revealed that no sales occurred for the preferred stock classes STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD between April 27 and May 3, despite a combined available capacity exceeding $27 billion. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor indicated that Bitcoin purchases might resume next week. MicroStrategy's current Bitcoin holdings stand at 818,334 BTC, with an average cost of $75,532 per Bitcoin, and the position is valued at approximately $64.6 billion. MicroStrategy is set to report its first-quarter earnings, with Wall Street anticipating a loss of $0.86 per share on $123 million in revenue. Investors are keen to understand the reasons behind the preferred-share sales pause, whether due to pricing, regulatory issues, or accounting considerations.
