Strategy Finally Bought Bitcoin Again. A Rival Barely Noticed. Strategy is back in the game, 4,603 $BTC bought around $80,000, its first purchase in two months, funded partly by STRC buybacks that have dragged the preferred stock from $71 up to $97. Fine. But the more interesting number is sitting one competitor over. Strive's version of the same trade, a preferred called SATA, has held near its $100 par for over a week without heroic buyback spending. It pays 13% daily versus STRC's 12% semi-monthly, and that small edge matters: staying at par means Strive can just issue new shares and buy Bitcoin, no financial engineering required. Strategy has to spend $635 million propping STRC up to do the same thing. The scoreboard on the common shares says it plainly. Strive's stock is up 60% this year. Strategy's is down 15%. Same basic playbook, wildly different market verdict. Saylor still owns the brand and the 845,000-coin stack nobody can touch. But watching a smaller rival run the treasury model more cheaply is the first real sign this isn't a one-company game anymore. Cheaper capital wins these things. 🟠 #BTC Price Analysis# #Bitcoin Price Prediction: What is Bitcoins next move?# #Bitcoin
