War Jitters Fuel Bitcoin Rally: Treasury Strategy Nets $1B Windfall

Geopolitical tensions spark crypto surge as institutional players pivot to digital gold.

Bitcoin''s war premium kicks in

When traditional markets tremble, crypto investors break out the champagne. The latest global instability has sent institutions scrambling for non-sovereign assets—and Bitcoin''s the prime beneficiary. The Treasury''s $1 billion haul proves even bureaucrats can''t ignore the math.

Hedgies vs. missiles: 1-0

While defense stocks get the usual war-bump love, smart money''s stacking SATs. The Treasury''s crypto play reveals what every trader knows but won''t say: fiat''s just a confidence game with extra steps.

Bonus jab: Nothing unites Wall Street like profitable panic—war''s hell, but arbitrage is divine.

Rising Bitcoin Holdings

The latest buy is Strategy’s second in June. Based on reports, it brings total holdings to nearly 600,000 BTC. That’s a huge stash by any measure. The company has spent more than $41 billion so far. It treats dips as chances to buy more. The average cost per coin remains well below current market rates.

Preferred Stock Offering

Strategy’s new STRD shares began trading on Nasdaq on June 11. The move aims to raise $250 million in fresh cash. According to the company, it will issue 2.5 million shares of 10% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock at $100 each. That cash should fund more bitcoin buys without tapping its cash reserves.

Based on Strategy’s data, its year‑to‑date Bitcoin yield now stands at 19.1%. That’s up 2% from last Monday’s 1,045 BTC purchase. Quarter‑to‑date yield sits at 7.5%. The firm has upped its goal from 15% to 25% by December 31, 2025. Hitting that will need strong price gains over the next year and a half.

Saylor has been busy on X, praising peers. He congratulated Metaplanet for reaching 10,000 BTC. He mentioned CEO Simon Gerovich and director Dylan LeClair by name. At the same time, Matthew Sigel of VanEck warned that big corporate Bitcoin buys can dilute value if a stock trades NEAR net asset value. Standard Chartered also flagged volatility risks in early June.

Strategy’s buy‑the‑dip approach could pay off if Bitcoin climbs and holds above six figures. The preferred stock route gives it dry powder for more buys. But the 10% dividends on STRD could weigh if gains stall.

Investors will keep an eye on yield updates and any shifts in Bitcoin’s price swing. For now, Strategy is betting on volatility as a chance to build one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries in history.
