Strategy is keeping share repurchases secondary while it builds liquidity, supports STRC and manages its bitcoin-linked balance sheet. Michael Saylor said MSTR buybacks remain possible if shares trade at a very deep discount to net asset value.

Strategy raised $333.7 million through a common-stock sale and used the proceeds to repurchase STRC, pay dividends and expand its U.S. dollar reserve. The company made no bitcoin purchases or sales, leaving its holdings unchanged at 840,447 BTC.

Bitcoin slipped as corporate treasury activity and miner sales added pressure to a market already locked in a narrow range. The shift is reviving debate over whether BTC is moving away from corporate balance sheets and back toward retail-driven ownership.

Strategy is carrying a multibillion dollar cash reserve after finding that some investors do not treat bitcoin liquidity as a substitute for dollars. CEO Phong Le says the shift supports the company’s preferred stock products and its ambition to become a broader digital finance platform.

Strategy sold bitcoin and common stock while repurchasing a portion of its high-yielding STRC preferred shares. The moves lifted its USD reserve and came as MSTR traded lower pre-market alongside softer bitcoin prices.

Strategy reported a second quarter net loss of $8.2 billion as bitcoin weakness triggered a major unrealized markdown on its holdings. The company also highlighted a $3.75 billion U.S. dollar reserve, selective bitcoin sales and plans to develop its Digital Credit business.

Strategy has introduced a new market metrics framework designed to show common shareholders a clearer view of net bitcoin exposure after senior obligations. The overhaul comes as bitcoin and MSTR remain sharply below prior highs, while preferred stock and convertible debt now play a larger role in valuation.

Strategy has not bought bitcoin since June 22 and has instead moved to reinforce its liquidity position. The company sold 3,588 BTC, reduced its holdings to 843,775 BTC and lifted its U.S. dollar reserve to about $3 billion.

Strategy’s latest bitcoin sale has intensified scrutiny of its balance-sheet playbook after a turbulent month for BTC and MSTR. The company also disclosed an $8.32 billion second-quarter loss on its bitcoin holdings as market participants debate whether its buying pressure has paused.

Cantor says Strategy’s top priority is returning its STRC preferred stock to $100, a move the bank sees as central to restarting the company’s bitcoin acquisition engine. The firm expects repeated management actions to support dividend coverage, strengthen the balance sheet and potentially benefit MSTR shares.

Bitwise argues that STRC’s sharp drop looks like a late-cycle deleveraging event rather than a warning of imminent liquidation at Strategy. The firm says the next major wave of Bitcoin demand may come from institutional buyers, not Strategy itself.

FBI Director Kash Patel is facing fresh criticism after reportedly waiting more than six months to disclose a six-figure purchase of Strategy shares. Watchdogs say the delay may run afoul of the STOCK Act and adds fuel to calls for tighter rules on federal officials trading individual stocks.

Strategy’s unrealized Bitcoin loss has swelled past $13 billion, a figure larger than the market caps of hundreds of crypto assets. The imbalance has renewed debate over concentration risk, corporate treasury strategy and the opportunity cost of holding a single asset.

Strategy says it still has enough U.S. dollar reserves to cover dividend obligations for nearly 10 months, easing immediate concerns about a payout crunch. But weak pricing in MSTR and STRC, along with shifting corporate plans, is testing retail investor trust.

Bitcoin tumbled under $111K while Ethereum and altcoins saw sharp declines as U.S. GDP growth was revised higher, dampening Fed rate cut odds and sending crypto stocks tumbling.
