đž BREAKING: Strategy just went 8 straight weeks without buying a single Bitcoin, and the company that built its identity on "always accumulate" is now running a completely different playbook.
The last purchase was 520 BTC, back on June 22. Since then: nothing. Not one coin added to the stack.
This past week, Strategy didn't even sell Bitcoin, the first fully untouched week in this entire stretch. Holdings sit frozen at 840,447 BTC.
So where did the money go instead? Strategy sold 3.46 million MSTR shares for $333.7 million and funneled it three ways: $52.4 million to cover preferred stock dividends, $132.2 million to buy back its own STRC preferred shares, and $149.1 million straight into its dollar reserve, now sitting at $4.8 billion.
Translation: Strategy is prioritizing keeping the lights on over adding to its Bitcoin empire.
This is a real pivot. Earlier in this same stretch, Strategy actually sold Bitcoin, nearly 6,948 coins since May for nearly $432.5 million, including a chunk sold below its own average cost basis. That's not a company flexing conviction. That's a company managing liquidity under pressure.
The backdrop explains why. MSTR stock has cratered over 60% year-to-date, trading nearly 80% below its 2024 peak. Preferred dividend obligations have ballooned well past operating revenue, forcing Strategy to prioritize cash coverage over fresh accumulation for the first time in its Bitcoin era.
Fifteen analysts still rate MSTR a Strong Buy. But the accumulation machine that defined Michael Saylor's entire strategy has gone quiet for two straight months, and counting.
