⚡ Strategy paused its Bitcoin activity last week, reporting no purchases or sales while keeping its holdings unchanged at 840,447 $BTC .
Instead, the company sold 3.46 million MSTR shares for about $333.7 million. It used the proceeds to repurchase preferred stock, fund dividends and add roughly $150 million to its U.S. dollar reserve, lifting that reserve to $4.8 billion.
Why it matters: Strategy remains one of the market’s largest corporate Bitcoin holders, so a week focused on liquidity and obligations rather than accumulation is a notable shift in capital allocation — without reducing its BTC position.
