When Does Strategy Get the Bitcoin Dip?

Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin-buying powerhouse has yet to buy the latest fall, perhaps signaling Strategy‘s method to acquiring the property is shifting alongside business challenges.

Tysons, Virginia-based Strategy, which pivoted from a program focus to become a Bitcoin Treasury, said that it bought Bitcoin 18 days last month, according to Saylor Tracker. Almost half those disclosures followed U. S. President Donald Trump’s election in November, as blockchain costs boomed.

Thus far, Strategy has disclosed six Bitcoin payments this time. However, its investments have remained unchanged at 499, 096 Cryptocurrency since Feb. 24. At the time, the company said that it had purchased Bitcoin for an average price of$ 97, 500 per Bitcoin.

The delay comes amid Trump’s on-again, off-again taxes, which have battered shares and bitcoin, while prompting flows from place Bitcoin ETFs. Leading up to Bitcoin’s latest drift below$ 80, 000 on Thursday, spot Bitcoin ETFs had bled$ 649 million since Monday, per CoinGlass.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs had a historical U. S. debut last season, and along with Strategy’s voracious demand for Bitcoin, the two business makes helped boat Bitcoin’s rate to new levels. &nbsp,

Strategy’s stock price has fallen 18 % over the past month to$ 265, according to Yahoo Finance. Despite the recent drop, its shares are still valued 50 % up from a year ago.

Strategy’s Strategy

Strategy raises capital to buy Bitcoin by selling shares or bonds. And its ability to raise capital cheaply is influenced by the volatility of its stock price and Bitcoin’s momentum, according to Compass Point Research &amp, Trading analysts Ed Engel and Joe Flynn

” MSTR’s cost of capital increases during market corrections, which makes it harder for Strategy to buy BTC when prices dip”, Engel and Flynn wrote in a research note this month.

Within the past few years, Strategy has embraced so-called convertible senior notes as a way to buy Bitcoin. As a form of company debt, investors can convert these notes for shares.

Strategy said that it had sold$ 3 billion worth of convertible senior notes at a 55 % conversion premium relative to its stock price in November. Investors later paid a 35 % conversion premium on$ 2 billion worth of convertible senior shares in February, indicating its offering had become less lucrative.

At the same time, Strategy unveiled “STRK” in January. As perpetual strike preferred stock, the Nasdaq-listed product pays a fixed dividend indefinitely, unless Strategy decides to redeem it.

Strategy raised$ 563 million through the STRK offering in January, and on Monday, the company said it would offer another$ 21 billion in STRK “over an extended period”.

Mark Palmer, a senior equity research analyst at Benchmark, told that Strategy’s recent pause likely stems from a focus on arranging the new offering.

” There is no reason to believe that Strategy’s appetite for buying bitcoin has abated”, he said, describing Monday’s announcement as” an emphatic statement about its commitment to its bitcoin acquisition strategy”.

As market participants waited to see whether that offering would translate into immediate buys, Saylor, Strategy’s ever bullish co-founder and executive referenced the product on Thursday.

In a post on X ( formerly known as Twitter ), he said,”$ STRK while the iron is hot”.

Strategy did not immediately respond to a request for comment from .
