Strategy CEO Vows to Resume Bitcoin Buying After $761M Capital Raise
MSTR sits 18% above its 52-week low of $81.81.
Summary
CEO Phong Le says Strategy will resume Bitcoin accumulation once it builds USD reserves and supports its preferred stock dividend. The company sold 1,690 BTC for $108.6M and 6.59M common shares for $653.1M last week, using proceeds to buy back 1.15M preferred shares at $108.6M. The preferred stock trades at $95.32, below its $100 par, and restoring that is a priority. Cash reserves stand at $4.65B, but Bitcoin sales are at a loss with an average purchase price of $75,385. MSTR is down 76% over the past year. The timeline shows a pattern of aggressive capital raising and Bitcoin accumulation, but recent sales mark a shift to liquidity management. The CEO's comments signal a return to the accumulation strategy once balance sheet conditions improve.
