Strategy added 950 BTC last week, spending about $75 million in its first Bitcoin purchase in roughly three weeks. The company funded the buying with $80.1 million from common-stock sales, according to a Monday regulatory filing.
Why it matters
The purchase resumes Strategy’s regular Bitcoin accumulation after a pause. Led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, the company now holds 846,000 BTC acquired for $63.81 billion, at an average price of $74,417 per coin.
The filing also showed that remaining proceeds went toward repurchasing $174 million of STRC preferred stock and strengthening Strategy’s cash reserves.
Market impact
MSTR shares rose 7% in premarket trading as Bitcoin traded near $84,500, up 4.5% over the previous 24 hours. The move keeps Strategy’s equity and capital-markets activity closely tied to Bitcoin’s price and the company’s ongoing treasury purchases.
