Institutional investors increase holdings in Strategy Inc

Overview

In late July 2026, Strategy Inc.’s preferred‑stock issue (STR C) became the largest holding in three major U.S. preferred‑stock ETFs, together owning about $756 million of the security. The stock was trading at a 13 % discount to its $100 par value, limiting the company’s ability to raise new capital, while institutional ownership surged and retail ownership fell.

By early August, a European asset manager (SEB Asset Management) added to its position in Strategy Inc.’s common shares, raising its stake by roughly 1 % to a $5.3 million holding. The move, alongside other large investors expanding U.S. equity positions, highlighted a continued trend of institutions using Strategy’s equity instruments to gain exposure to its sizable Bitcoin treasury without holding the cryptocurrency directly.
