Strategy's New MSTR Sale Pushes Its Cash Reserves to $3B
Strategy held its 843,775 BTC steady last week while stacking dollars via MSTR.
Michael Saylor's Strategy offloaded 4.8M MSTR shares for roughly $467M last week and put the proceeds toward its war chest, pushing the firm's USD holdings to $3 billion, per a Monday 8-K filing. The company neither bought nor sold any BTC during the stretch.
What's the Scoop?
- The pivot: Strategy hasn't acquired bitcoin since June 22nd, and its +3,500 BTC sale earlier this month, the firm's largest ever, netted $216M. The immediate priority lately has been liquidity.
- The runway: This bolstered $3B cushion has the scope to cover nearly two years of preferred dividends and debt interest against ~$1.76B in annualized obligations, per CoinDesk.
- The stakes: Strategy's BTC holdings remain at 843,775 BTC, around 4% of bitcoin's total supply. STRC still trades around $87 versus its $100 par value, so it's no secret that investors will be looking for extra yield.
