What happened
Strategy Inc. has continued its aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin, recently purchasing 267 Bitcoin and spending over $200 million on repurchasing its preferred stock, STRC. Michael Saylor has stated that Strategy plans to resume heavy Bitcoin buying once STRC reaches its $100 par value. The company recently allocated $192.4 million toward repurchasing STRC shares.
Why it matters
