The American technology company Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, announced last week that it did not purchase any Bitcoin $95,133. During the same period, the company also refrained from selling shares, leaving its Bitcoin holdings unchanged at 499,096. This situation indicates that the firm has yet to reach its target of 500,000 Bitcoins.
SEC Notification and Trading Period
In a report submitted to the SEC, the company stated it made no Bitcoin acquisitions between February 24 and March 2. Additionally, the lack of stock sales suggests that there were no triggering actions for Bitcoin purchases. Previously, the company had acquired 20,356 Bitcoins using $2 billion sourced through loans.
Last week, following a decline in global markets, Bitcoin prices fell below $80,000. This drop influenced trading volumes, and Strategy’s decision to abstain from purchasing might be linked to its recent $2 billion reserve. The company currently holds 499,096 Bitcoins, purchased at an average price of $66,357.
Stock Movements and Market Reactions
The decline in Bitcoin prices has caused significant fluctuations in the company’s MSTR stock. During the price drop, the stock value hovered around $255, but following Bitcoin’s rise above $90,000 over the weekend, it experienced a 14% recovery. According to Nasdaq data, the stock rose to about $292 in pre-market trading.
Moreover, according to a representative from VanECK, a decline in Strategy’s Bitcoin premium has been observed, particularly towards April 2024 levels. This situation is being closely monitored by market players.
The company’s past significant financial transactions and current portfolio status are under careful scrutiny by the market and stakeholders. Price fluctuations and trading strategies are expected to be further analyzed in the coming period.
