Overview
- In early August Strategy sold several controlled tranches of Bitcoin totaling about 5,226 BTC for roughly $321 million to fund preferred dividends and liquidity needs.
- The firm increased its U.S. dollar reserve to about $4 billion, which it says can cover more than two years of STRC’s semi‑monthly 12% dividend payments.
- Strategy has repurchased about $106 million of STRC shares under an authorized program of up to $1 billion, helping push the preferred above $94 from June lows.
- Prediction‑market odds that STRC will reach its $100 stated value by December have risen to roughly 56.5% and the reported Bitcoin sales so far have not caused notable market disruption.
- Despite the sales, Strategy still holds about 842,000 BTC and says it will balance long‑term accumulation with measured monetization, a choice that could crystallize losses or increase dilution for common shareholders if more sales are needed.
