Why Strategy's latest Bitcoin buy might underwhelm the market this time
Last week, Strategy made a historic push, bringing its reserves to 815,061 BTC. Almost the entire volume was financed through MSTR share issuance. This week, however, that mechanism paused, with MSTR trading at $99.46, slightly below par.
Saylor appears to be sticking to his principle, avoiding new MSTR issuance while shares trade at a discount to prevent shareholder dilution. The result, according to the mstr.live tracker, is 0 BTC for the week.
