Strategy Skips Bitcoin Buying for a Week, Puts $204.9M Into STRC Repurchases
Strategy, the Bitcoin treasury company, added no Bitcoin last week and instead spent about $205 million repurchasing its STRC preferred shares. The pause temporarily removes a regular source of demand for BTC, though no coins were sold.

According to Decrypt, Cointelegraph and CMC, Strategy neither bought nor sold Bitcoin over the past week. The company spent $204.9 million on STRC preferred stock buybacks, its largest weekly repurchase of that instrument in more than a month.
As a result, its USD cash balance fell by 46% to $242.4 million. CMC describes this as the lowest level in weeks.
Strategy is known for regular Bitcoin accumulation, so a week without purchases stands out. Directing cash to preferred stock suggests the company is, for now, prioritising its capital structure over expanding its BTC holdings. The sources do not say whether this marks a lasting change in approach.
For the market, the main channel is sentiment and marginal demand. A large corporate buyer stepping aside removes one source of purchases, while the absence of sales means no additional supply reached the market.
