Strategy, a pioneer in the crypto sector known for its innovative products, has been following a capital increase model to sell shares and use the proceeds to acquire Bitcoin. Recently, STRC shares issued by the company climbed back to their nominal value of 100 dollars after experiencing the longest decline in their history. Capitalizing on this recovery, Strategy resumed selling shares on the market and used the influx of funds to aggressively purchase more Bitcoin.
Bitcoin buying accelerates as STRC bounces back
During the past week alone, the company acquired Bitcoin worth 43 million dollars, with an average price of 80,340 dollars per BTC for these transactions. The purchases were funded directly through capital raised from STRC share sales. Data from CryptoAppsy indicates these Bitcoin transactions were completed at those price levels over the past week.
In early trading hours, STRC saw notable transaction volume, with a total of 77,000 shares changing hands and generating approximately 3.78 million dollars in fresh capital. This allowed the company to add another 47 Bitcoins to its portfolio. Strategy’s previous share offerings were also followed by significant acquisitions; for example, in April, the firm bought 34,164 Bitcoins in just one week.
Dividend model to be revamped
Following the April STRC dividend payment, the stock entered an 18-day recovery period, illustrating for investors how volatile such stocks can be around dividend dates. To address this cyclical issue, company management has tabled a new dividend distribution model. Management has proposed that dividend payouts occur twice a month, and the proposed change is now open to a shareholder vote running through June 8.
The company’s aim with this new payment schedule is to curb excessive price swings in STRC shares. If shareholders approve the reforms, the earliest the first dividend payout under the revised system could take place is July 15, 2026, according to the company’s statement.
Shift in strategy signals new direction
Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy, has been widely recognized for his steadfast commitment to the traditional “always hold” approach toward Bitcoin. However, he and his company have recently transitioned to a more adaptive business model. The updated philosophy centers on the principle of “never be a net seller.” In practical terms, this means that while the company might sell some Bitcoin if required for dividend payments, for every Bitcoin sold, the goal is to add 10 to 20 more to the portfolio.
While the core focus remains on accumulating Bitcoin, market dynamics and the company’s dividend obligations may, at times, prompt limited sales. Yet even in such periods, the overriding objective is to continually grow Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings.
“Instead of a philosophy solely committed to holding Bitcoin forever, the company now embraces the principle of never being a net seller. That means if necessary, Bitcoin can be sold to fund dividend payments, but simultaneously, the portfolio will be expanded by purchasing even more Bitcoin,” explained the management.
Rising share values have equipped the company to spend 43 million dollars on fresh Bitcoin purchases in a short span, offering an immediate real-world test of this revised strategic direction.
