Strategy suspends Bitcoin purchases, STRC dividends spark controversy
CryptoWorld News reports that MicroStrategy has paused its Bitcoin purchases for this week due to the upcoming Q1 earnings report and attention to its preferred stock dividends. According to a post by Michael Saylor on social media, the company stated, “No purchases this week,” breaking its regular accumulation pattern. An SEC Form 8-K shows that Strategy acquired 3,273 Bitcoins between April 20 and 26, spending about $255 million, funded by the sale of 1,451,601 shares of MSTR Class A stock. Yahoo Finance reports that the purchase price averaged $77,906 per Bitcoin. The total number of Bitcoins held by the company has reached 818,334 coins, with an acquisition cost of approximately $61.81 billion, a current value of about $63.7 billion, and an unrealized gain of roughly $1.9 billion. Despite concerns over STRC dividends, TipRanks data shows that Strategy’s stock listed on NASDAQ still receives a “Strong Buy” rating, and Strategy has $26.47 billion worth of MSTR stock available to continue funding Bitcoin purchases.
