Strategy Inc. updated its ATM equity issuance policy, permitting stock sales below the 2.5x mNAV threshold to manage debt, dividends, and potential Bitcoin acquisitions amid market pressures.
Strategy Inc. shares fell about 8% to a near four-month low as Bitcoin slid 8.6% from $124,128 to $113,631. Michael Saylor announced revised ATM guidance, allowing equity issuance when trading below 2.5x mNAV, citing the need to service debt, pay preferred dividends, or pursue beneficial opportunities. The company currently reports an mNAV of 1.55. While some investors criticized the policy change as a reversal from earlier commitments, others viewed it as enabling further Bitcoin purchases.
