Strategy Sells $334M in Stock, Skips Bitcoin Buys to Fund Preferred Dividends
MSTR is trading near its 52-week low of $81.81 (15% above the low).
Summary
Strategy raised $333.7M through ATM stock sales last week but made no Bitcoin purchases, leaving its holdings at 840,447 BTC. The proceeds were allocated to STRC preferred dividends ($52.4M), STRC repurchases ($132.2M), and USD reserves ($149.1M). This follows the company's June halt on Bitcoin purchases and its new Digital Credit Capital Framework, signaling a shift toward balance-sheet management over accumulation. The lack of Bitcoin buying removes a key demand driver for MSTR's premium, while the continued ATM sales dilute common shareholders. Watch for whether the company resumes Bitcoin purchases or further expands preferred-stock repurchases in coming weeks.
