Strategy Holds 848,517 Bitcoin After One-Week Pause
Strategy also sold no shares through its at-the-market offering program during Oct. 19–25. Those programs allow the company to sell shares into the market over time.
Its filing said it held approximately 848,517 Bitcoin as of Oct. 25. The company acquired the holdings for an aggregate $64.02 billion, at an average price of about $75,446 per Bitcoin, including fees and expenses.
The previous week, Strategy purchased 267 Bitcoin for approximately $22.1 million, at an average price of $82,900. It funded the purchases with $22 million in net proceeds from common-stock sales and $100,000 in cash, according to its Oct. 19 filing.
STRC Repurchases Reduce Available Buyback Capacity
Strategy repurchased 2,068,459 shares of its variable-rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, which trades under the ticker STRC. The reported cost works out to approximately $99.06 per share.
The company reported no repurchases of its other listed preferred-stock classes or MSTR common stock during the week. It had $956.8 million of purchase capacity remaining under its preferred-stock repurchase program, while its separate common-stock program retained $1 billion.
On Oct. 19, Strategy disclosed that its board had increased the preferred-stock program’s total authorization from $2 billion to $3 billion, including prior repurchases. The company also reported spending $193.1 million on STRC shares during the preceding week.
Strategy Reports $242.4 Million in Treasury Cash
Strategy funded the latest STRC repurchases from cash it holds for general treasury purposes. That balance fell to $242.4 million as of Oct. 25, from $447.3 million a week earlier.
The company separately reported a $4.83 billion U.S. dollar reserve intended to support preferred-stock dividends and interest on outstanding debt. Its broader treasury cash may be used for Bitcoin purchases, reserve additions and other capital-management activities.
