"Saylor Reveals New Tools for Increased Bitcoin Acquisition: 'Bitcoin Amassment Division'"
Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has announced the creation of a "Bitcoin Defense Department" on social media. This new unit is designed to reinforce the company’s institutional Bitcoin acquisition strategy and to actively support further accumulation of Bitcoin.
The strategy behind this Bitcoin Defense Department includes the launch of a new stock offering under the ticker STRC, with each share priced at $100. The net proceeds from this offering will be predominantly used to acquire more Bitcoin, amplifying Strategy’s position as a major institutional Bitcoin holder.
The Bitcoin Defense Department also institutes an organized framework within the company dedicated to Bitcoin acquisition and protection, likely enhancing operational focus on Bitcoin’s security, custody, and strategic management. This move reinforces Saylor’s vision of Bitcoin as a long-term institutional asset and underpins Strategy’s role in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem as a leading corporate accumulator.
As of July 20, Strategy holds a total of 607,770 BTC in its treasury, with a current value of $71,741,535,462, given BTC's trading price of $118,040 at press time. The total value of the recently acquired 6,220 Bitcoins is approximately $739.8 million.
It is important to note that the proposed initial public offering of the STRC ("Stretch") stock and the terms of the offering are yet to be disclosed. Moreover, the tweet does not provide information about the current price or market value of other Strategy stocks (MSTR, STRD, STRK, and STRF), the current price or market value of Bitcoin, or the financial status or performance of Strategy as a company.
