Speculation mounts on \u201chuge capital raise\u201d\u00a0<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s Strategy’s highest monthly gain in five months, following<\/a> a 59% rise over November as the value of its vast Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) holdings swelled amid a price rally that saw BTC reach $100,000 for the first time on Dec. 5<\/a>, which was kicked off by Donald Trump\u2019s Nov. 5 election win.<\/p>\n

The recent surge in Strategy\u2019s stock price comes as the firm prepares to announce<\/a> its first-quarter 2025 results after the US markets close on May 1. Saylor will host a webinar to discuss the results shortly after, at 9 pm UTC.<\/p>\n

According to Seeking Alpha, analysts expect<\/a> Strategy to report revenue of $116.6 million, reflecting a 1% year-on-year increase. The analytics firm also said that Strategy has beaten revenue estimates 25% of the time over the past two years.<\/p>\n

The estimate represents a 3.40% decline compared to the previous quarter. The firm reported $120.7 million in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024, marking a 3% year-on-year fall that missed analyst estimates by about $2 million.<\/p>\n

Strategy reported a net loss of $670.8 million<\/a> in Q4 2024 as the firm stacked an additional 218,887 Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Apollo Sat’s founder Thomas Fahrer said<\/a> in an April 30 X post, that \u201cMSTR will announce a huge capital raise in their earnings call tomorrow. $100B is in play.\u201d<\/p>\n

On March 10, Strategy announced that it had entered into a new sales agreement<\/a> that would allow the firm to issue and sell shares of its 8% Series A perpetual strike preferred stock to raise funds for general corporate purposes, including potential Bitcoin acquisitions.<\/p>\n

At the time of publication, Strategy is holding 553,555 Bitcoin, worth approximately $52.57 billion, according<\/a> to Saylor Tracker data.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Syz Capital partner Richard Byworth recently mulled over the idea that Strategy should take a more aggressive approach to buying Bitcoin<\/a> by acquiring companies to use their cash holdings to fund purchases and do away with over-the-counter buys.<\/p>\n

\u201cShould Saylor buy Bitcoin really carelessly? As in, not try and buy it through OTC desks\u2026and actually just buy it with the intention of massively ramping the price,\u201d Byworth said.<\/p>\n
