Saylor Signals Strategy May Resume Weekly Bitcoin Buys After Brief Pause
Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor’s latest post suggests the firm may once again resume its weekly Bitcoin purchases after a brief pause.
Summary
- Saylor signaled a return to weekly Bitcoin purchases after a one-week pause broke the firm’s accumulation streak.
- Strategy last bought about $77 million in BTC on March 23 and may have capacity for at least 1,821 BTC based on recent fundraising.
- The firm holds 762,099 BTC at an average cost of $75,694.
In a Sunday post on X, Saylor shared a StrategyTracker chart alongside the words “Back to Work,” a phrase he has often used ahead of fresh purchase disclosures. The timing has drawn attention, coming just days after the company skipped its usual weekly buy for the first time this year.
Strategy’s most recent acquisition came on March 23, when the firm bought roughly $77 million worth of BTC at $74,326 per coin, with the following week marking a rare pause that interrupted its steady buying rhythm.
Funding for these purchases continues to lean heavily on Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock offering, Stretch (STRC). The instrument is structured to hover near its $100 par value, supported by a mechanism that adjusts dividends on a monthly basis. New STRC shares are issued into the market, with proceeds then redirected toward Bitcoin accumulation.
Estimates from STRC.LIVE suggests the firm may already have capacity lined up for another sizable buy. Based on capital raised for the week ending April 3, the next purchase could reach at least 1,821 BTC if deployed.
Plans outlined in late March point to a much larger pipeline still in play. Strategy disclosed intentions to raise $44.1 billion, with funding expected to come primarily through sales of its common MSTR shares alongside STRC issuance.
Company disclosures show total holdings at 762,099 BTC, acquired at an average cost of $75,694 per coin. With Bitcoin trading near $69,100, the position currently sits below its aggregate entry price.
