Adam Back, known for his foundational role in Bitcoin, leads BSTR as Co-founder and CEO. The company disclosed a 30,021 Bitcoin reserve, infusing about $3.5 billion into its operations. Additional 25,000 BTC came from founding shareholders. As Adam Back stated, “Bitcoin was created as sound money and BSTR is being created to bring that same integrity to modern capital markets. By securing both fiat and Bitcoin funding on day one… we are putting unprecedented firepower behind a single mission: maximizing Bitcoin ownership per share while accelerating real-world Bitcoin adoption.”

Strategic actions include private placements raising an additional $1.5 billion. Important changes in equity structure aim to enhance BTC ownership per share and boost traditional market integration.
