Strategy Inc's Preferred Shares Drop Below $100, Limiting Bitcoin Buys; Bitcoin & Cash Reserves Exceed Debt by $48 Billion
Summary
Strategy Inc's STRC preferred shares have fallen below $100, dipping into the high $80s, driven by a Bitcoin-linked leverage unwind. This price point is critical as it restricts the company's ability to issue new STRC shares, thereby limiting its ongoing Bitcoin acquisition program. This development follows the company's aggressive expansion of its ATM offerings in March, designed to raise billions for Bitcoin purchases. Despite this financing hurdle, CEO Michael Saylor confirmed that Strategy Inc's Bitcoin and cash reserves currently exceed its total debt by a substantial $48 billion, underscoring a strong balance sheet.
