According to Decrypt, Cointelegraph and CMC, Strategy made no bitcoin transactions last week. Instead, the company spent $204.9 million on a buyback of STRC preferred shares.
As a result, the company's US dollar cash balance (USD Cash) fell to $242.4 million. According to Cointelegraph's calculations, the decrease was 46%, while CMC notes that this is the lowest level in several weeks.
Strategy is known for regularly increasing its bitcoin holdings, so the pause in purchases and the redirection of funds to repurchasing preferred securities are noticeable to the market. The company did not sell any BTC, meaning there was no direct supply pressure from its side.
The market impact is rather indirect: the absence of new purchases removes one source of steady demand, and the reduction in the cash reserve may limit the company's flexibility. The scale of the effect is not yet clear; the current BTC forecast remains neutral.
