\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe decline in the amount of BTC purchase comes amid growing criticism against the company\u2019s STRC. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
After hinting at buying more bitcoin on Sunday, Strategy\u2019s co-founder and former CEO, Michael Saylor, announced on X minutes ago that the firm had acquired another 520 BTC for $35 million. Thus, its total holdings have grown to 847,363 units, currently valued at almost $55 billion.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more interesting about this announcement is the fact that the NASDAQ-listed business intelligence software company increased its USD reserve a lot more than the BTC acquisition.<\/p>\n
\nStrategy has increased its USD Reserve by $300 million to $1.4 billion and plans to continue replenishing it to support the credit quality of its Digital Credit securities. We also acquired 520 BTC for $35 million, increasing our $BTC<\/a> Reserve to \u20bf847,363. $MSTR<\/a> $STRC<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

The Saylor-founded firm made two major bitcoin purchases<\/a> in the past couple of weeks, both for around $100 million. It also increased its USD reserve by the same amount.<\/p>\n
Now, though, the difference is quite significant, as the firm has spent almost 10 times more for its USD reserve than for its bitcoin acquisition.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the reason for this is the growing online scrutiny of Strategy\u2019s STRC. Also referred to as Stretch, these shares are supposed to trade at $100, provide a stable yield to investors, and raise funds to buy more BTC.<\/p>\n
However, they have deviated from their par price in the past few weeks, going well below $90 at one point. This raised some eyebrows in the community, with some analysts speculating<\/a> that the company might have to sell more than 50,000 BTC in the next few years to cover expenses and dividend payments.<\/p>\n
