Strategy buys 334 Bitcoin for $28.7 million as preferred-share buybacks hit $1.45 billion
AI Market Summary
Strategy disclosed a small BTC add (334 coins) alongside heavy preferred-share buybacks ($1.45B) and proposed daily dividend accruals to support preferred pricing and liquidity. While Q3's BTC rally boosted the firm's fair-value gain and balance-sheet optics, the slower accumulation and focus on funding mechanics highlight tighter near-term incremental demand from a major corporate holder and increased sensitivity to capital-market conditions for future BTC financing.
