Strategy Repurchases Shares with $139 Million Instead of Buying New Bitcoin
In its latest move, Strategy allocated $139 million to repurchase preferred shares (STRC) rather than acquiring new Bitcoin. This marks the second consecutive week without any additions to its existing Bitcoin holdings, which remain at 845,050 BTC. The firm has been known for aggressive weekly Bitcoin purchases in recent years, making this shift notable. The decision aligns with Strategy's broader capital management strategy as it holds $6.4 billion in dollar-denominated assets and aims to optimize its balance sheet rather than expand its crypto holdings immediately. This buyback activity is part of an expanded repurchase program that was recently doubled from $1 billion to $2 billion. The firm’s Total Reserve Capital has surpassed all S&P 500 financial services firms except Berkshire Hathaway, reaching approximately $66 billion. The move signals a strategic pivot toward strengthening its capital structure rather than focusing on Bitcoin accumulation for now.
