Strategy sold 2.71 million shares of its common stock last week to raise $335.5 million, directing most of the proceeds into cash reserves rather than Bitcoin purchases. The move lifted the company's US dollar holdings to $1.4 billion while adding only 520 Bitcoin. The action followed a sharp drop in the price of its STRC preferred shares.
Michael Saylor's firm Strategy now controls a record 65 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin.

MicroStrategy, the largest public holder of Bitcoin, will pause cryptocurrency purchases this week. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced the break on Sunday via X, as the company prepares for its first-quarter earnings report on Tuesday. Wall Street anticipates a quarterly loss.
MicroStrategy, now known as Strategy, asserts that its bitcoin holdings provide a strong buffer against debt even if the cryptocurrency's price falls sharply to $25,000. This statement comes amid a 49% decline in its stock price and potential exclusion from MSCI indices. The company highlights its overcollateralized balance sheet to demonstrate financial resilience.
