- Strategy buys 1,036 bitcoins for 81.9 million dollars, bringing its reserves to 850,364 BTC.
- The total cost of Bitcoin holdings reaches 64.16 billion dollars, at an average price of 75,456 dollars per BTC.
- Strategy dedicates 188.3 million dollars to the buyback of 1.89 million STRC preferred shares.
- Since early October, STRC buybacks reach 1.06 billion dollars, compared to 219.7 million for Bitcoin purchases.
Strategy brings its reserves to 850,364 bitcoins
Strategy paid 79,012 dollars per bitcoin. According to the document submitted Monday to the SEC, the company paid 79,012 dollars per bitcoin. This operation adds 1,036 units to its reserve. Strategy now holds 850,364 BTC, for a total cost of 64.16 billion. Its average purchase price reaches 75,456 dollars.
These holdings represent about 4.05% of the maximum supply of 21 million bitcoins. This ratio measures the company’s weight among holders. The purchase follows the acquisition of 811 BTC for 65.5 million dollars. The company thus continues its purchases.
This increase comes as the company carries out several parallel financial operations. It does not dedicate all its resources to Bitcoin purchases. Part of the funds raised is also used to buy back preferred shares. The filing details this allocation.
STRC share buybacks mobilize 188.3 million dollars
Last week, the company obtained 283.8 million net by selling about 2.05 million MSTR shares. It allocated 188.3 million to buy back about 1.89 million STRC shares. This amount remains lower than the 208.2 million previously spent. Strategy also invested 81.9 million in Bitcoin.
The company added 13.6 million dollars to its American cash reserves. Since early October, STRC buybacks have reached about 1.06 billion. Over the same period, Bitcoin purchases represent 219.7 million. Strategy has therefore spent nearly five times more on buybacks.
This difference highlights the weight of securities operations in recent flows. Strategy strengthens its digital reserve and simultaneously buys back its shares. These two operations mobilize significant amounts. They reflect distinct uses of the raised capital.
Dollar reserves and shares under watch
The US dollar reserves decreased from 4.79 to 4.77 billion. The company used 21.1 million to pay dividends on its preferred shares. Meanwhile, its cash in dollars rose from 132.7 to 146.2 million. This increase reaches about 10%.
These figures show several developments in the group’s financial structure. STRC buybacks decrease compared to the previous week, while bitcoin purchases continue. Dollar reserves remain high despite dividend payments. The company thus details its priorities.
On the markets, the MSTR stock was down 3% to 125 dollars before Monday’s opening. The STRC preferred stock lost 0.06%, at 99.7 dollars. These variations show the evolution of the two share categories at the start of trades. They complement the published financial data.
Strategy should continue its arbitrages between bitcoin acquisitions, share buybacks, and management of its cash reserves. Its next operations will allow measuring the evolution of these different financial priorities.
