According to its chairman, Michael Saylor, Gen AI has contributed heavily to his creativity and how he runs the company. With an addition of 1,895 BTC worth $180.3 million, Strategy now holds 555,450 BTC worth north of $52 billion.
In an interview on the company’s YouTube channel, Saylor praised Gen AI as the technology that has made it easy to run Strategy and his social handles. He said that he uses deep research to come up with new ideas.
An example of his questions to AI, “Look at every single publicly traded company and give me the open interest divided by their market cap and the liquidity and the trend of the liquidity and then tell me where we stand.”
He explained that although the AI does not give him 100% of the answer he requires, it gives 80-95% of what he needs to come up with something.
He said, “I began using AI to accelerate my ability to think.” He gave an example of a project designed by AI to be Strife (STRF). This stock offers a fixed dividend rate and is traded on the Nasdaq exchange. Saylor says it is an AI-designed security.
STRF has been used to fund Bitcoin purchases for Strategy
The funds for purchasing BTC were raised by selling its own shares as part of continuous stock sales initiatives. During the week, Strategy sold 575,392 shares of preferred stock (STRK). It also sold 353,825 shares of common stock (MSTR) raising a total of $180.3 million to fund the bitcoin acquisition.
Separately, the STRK perpetual preferred stock sale program, which began in March 2025 with a $21 billion capacity, is not part of the 21/21 Plan. As of May 4, $20.87 billion in STRK capacity is still available. Approximately $14 billion of the 21/21 Plan’s debt remains available.
On the other hand, the MSTR common stock sale campaign, which began in October 2024 as part of Strategy’s “21/21 Plan,” aimed to raise $21 billion in equity money for bitcoin acquisitions but has since been drained and discontinued.
The company offers STRF perpetual preferred stocks. They are distinct from both capital plans and used to support Bitcoin purchases.
Meanwhile, the latest acquisition came shortly after Strategy posted its first-quarter earnings. The company reported a net loss of $4.2 billion, owing mostly to around $6 billion in unrealized losses on its bitcoin assets during the first quarter under new fair value accounting rules.
Despite its lower-than-expected financial performance, analysts remain optimistic about Strategy because of its unparalleled size in Bitcoin ownership, unique capital-raising methods, and institutional investor attractiveness.
Strategy is the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder. However, others are swiftly following suit. Last month, Cantor Fitzgerald, SoftBank, Bitfinex, and Tether announced intentions to form Twenty-One Capital, a $3.6 billion Bitcoin enterprise. Companies like Semler Scientific, KULR, and Metaplanet have also included Bitcoin in their treasury management strategies.
GEN AI embraced by more institutions
NTT Data study polled more than 500 manufacturing leaders in 34 countries to look at how Gen AI is being used in the sector.
The results show that 95% of those who answered already see how Gen AI improves performance and efficiency. Also, 94% of leaders polled think combining Internet of Things (IoT) data with Gen AI models will make AI output more accurate.
The poll found that 91% of manufacturers think this combination improves the performance of real assets and makes the supply chain more resilient.
