Strategy Expands Bitcoin Holdings and USD Reserve in Latest Move
Michael Saylor's firm raises its USD Reserve to $1.4B and acquires 520 BTC, funded by $335.5M in MSTR share sales.

The model's sustainability ultimately depends on Bitcoin maintaining — or expanding — its long-term value proposition relative to the dilution shareholders absorb with each equity offering.
