Strategy spends triple its weekly Bitcoin outlay on STRC buybacks

Michael Saylor’s Strategy spent more than three times as much buying back its STRC preferred shares as it did acquiring Bitcoin last week.

Strategy repurchased $208.2 million in STRC and spent about $65.5 million buying 811 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of $80,846, according to a Monday 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

About $65.5 million funded its Bitcoin acquisition, while the remaining $98.5 million was allocated to the company’s USD Cash balance, according to the filing. The company held $132.7 million in USD Cash and $4.79 billion in its separate US dollar reserve as of Sunday.
