The June filing carried those holdings at $351.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>The math is stark.

An investor\u2019s 100 old shares become one, so the 100-fold jump reflects the new unit size. Apart from rounding, the investor keeps the same proportional slice. The Bitcoin stays on Next Technology\u2019s balance sheet. Shareholders get indirect exposure through NXTT.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/strategy-bought-100-million-more-bitcoin-but-critics-say-mstr-shareholders-now-own-less-of-it\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Strategy bought $100 million more Bitcoin but critics say MSTR shareholders now own less of it<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>A large equity-plan reserve stays in place after the split. The latest quarter lists 7.98 million shares available under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, and the Aug. 5 filing says the split will leave that reserve untouched. It equals about 5.4 times the projected post-split share count. The company\u2019s authorized common share count remains unlimited.<\/p>\n<p>Those figures describe capacity alone. Future issuance remains uncertain. The reverse-split filing supplies no motive and makes no mention of a new Nasdaq deficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin holder grew from about 2.86
