Just days after various naysayers questioned the company’s financial runway, Strategy has officially shut down the skeptics.
In a recent X post, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced yet another Bitcoin purchase. On top of that, the company has fortified its cash reserves.
Strategy acquired 520 BTC for approximately $35 million at an average price of $67,068 per coin.
The latest purchase has pushed Strategy's Bitcoin holdings to an eye-popping 847,363 BTC.
The company raised and retained an additional $300 million in cash. It has bumped its total USD liquidity reserve from $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion.
Market analyst Adam Livingston noted that the capital deployment was highly accretive for equity holders. It has yielded an increase of 260 satoshis per share.
Remarkably, only 10.4% of the newly raised capital was deployed directly into Bitcoin. The remaining 89.6% was intentionally kept as cash to reinforce the company's financial foundation.
The finding
The purchase solves the riddle that had left the crypto community perplexed just hours prior to the announcement.
As reported by U.Today, critics openly wondered where Saylor would find the cash.
Strategy raised $335.5 million by issuing 2.7 million new Class A common shares ($MSTR).
Notably, the company issued zero new preferred stock for the fourth consecutive week. Instead, it opted for relying on equity to protect its corporate capital structure.
The company's variable-rate perpetual preferred stock, STRC, had recently become a primary target for BTC bears after collapsing below $100. Short-sellers speculated that Saylor would be forced to sell BTC.
However, Strategy has so far neutralized the bearish narrative of a liquidity crunch.
