๐Ÿšจ Strategy Pauses Bitcoin Buying โ€” But Spends $204.9M on STRC Buybacks!
Something interesting happened at Strategy this week. ๐Ÿ‘€
According to its October 26 SEC filing, Strategy made no Bitcoin purchases or sales between October 19 and October 25. Instead, the company used $204.9 million to repurchase approximately 2.07 million shares of its STRC preferred stock.
๐Ÿ“Š Here are the key numbers:
๐Ÿ”น Bitcoin holdings: 848,517 BTC
๐Ÿ”น Average BTC purchase price: $75,446
๐Ÿ”น STRC shares repurchased: 2,068,459
๐Ÿ”น Total buyback cost: $204.9 million
๐Ÿ”น USD Reserve: $4.83 billion
๐Ÿ”น USD Cash remaining: $242.4 million
So, what does this mean?
Strategy hasnโ€™t announced that it is abandoning its Bitcoin-focused approach. Instead, this week's filing shows a shift in capital allocation toward STRC buybacks while its BTC holdings remain unchanged.
๐Ÿ’ก My Take: One week without buying Bitcoin doesn't necessarily signal a long-term change. However, the reduced cash balance makes the company's next capital-allocation decision worth watching.
The big question is whether Strategy resumes BTC accumulation next week or continues prioritizing its preferred-stock buyback program.
๐Ÿ‘‡ What do you think? Is this a temporary pause or a sign of a new strategy?
