Nears $100 After Strategy Spends $950.8M on Buybacks"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy has spent roughly $950.8 million repurchasing nearly 9.96 million shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, known as STRC, since July 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aggressive buyback program has helped STRC recover from levels near $70 and move back toward Strategy\u2019s preferred trading range of $99 to $100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">STRC closed at $97.07 on September 16 after briefly reaching $99.03 earlier in the week, putting the preferred security close to its $100 stated value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, Strategy has increased its total preferred-security repurchase authorization from $1 billion to $2 billion, leaving the company with significant capacity to continue buying shares if market conditions warrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy repurchases nearly 10 million STRC shares<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy disclosed in a September 14 regulatory filing that it bought another 1,420,467 STRC shares between September 8 and September 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest purchase cost approximately $139.3 million and was funded using the company\u2019s U.S. dollar cash balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy did not sell shares through its at-the-market programs during the period and also reported no Bitcoin purchases or sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across eight weekly reporting periods between July 20 and September 13, Strategy repurchased a total of 9,961,554 STRC shares for approximately $950.8 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloomberg separately estimated that Strategy accounted for roughly 18% of STRC\u2019s total trading volume during that period, highlighting how significant the company\u2019s own buying activity has been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STRC rebounds from nearly $70 toward $100<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">STRC has staged a strong recovery after previously falling to around $70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The security reached an intraday high of $99.03 on September 14 before pulling back slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By September 16, STRC closed at $97.07 after trading between $97.01 and $97.95 during the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy has openly stated that it wants STRC to trade between $99 and $100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s investor materials explain that management may use several tools to support trading near the $100 stated amount, including share repurchases, dividend-rate adjustments, liquidity management and issuance policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Strategy has also made clear that the $99\u2013$100 range is a corporate objective rather than a guaranteed price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STRC currently pays a 12% annualized dividend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy currently pays an annualized dividend rate of 12% on STRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That works out to $0.50 per share for each full semi-monthly dividend period based on STRC\u2019s $100 stated value, provided the dividend is declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s board has already declared $0.50 payments for the periods ending September 30 and October 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Management has said it does not currently intend to recommend changing the 12% dividend rate until STRC trades consistently near $100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy also maintains a policy of not issuing new STRC shares below the $100 stated value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both policies reflect management\u2019s current intentions and are not contractual guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price of STRC is important because Strategy has linked future issuance of the preferred stock to its ability to raise additional capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CEO Phong Le previously indicated that the company could resume issuing STRC once the security returns to par value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That capital could potentially be used for additional Bitcoin purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy spends $950.8M across eight buyback periods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy began its current STRC repurchase campaign with relatively modest purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between July 20 and July 26, the company bought 288,930 STRC shares for approximately $25 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following week, Strategy purchased another 912,143 shares for $81.2 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pace of buying then increased substantially during August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From August 3 to August 9, Strategy spent $108.6 million on 1,152,020 shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During August 10\u201316, the company bought 1,388,720 shares for $132.2 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was followed by another 1,431,212 shares for $136.4 million between August 17 and August 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy then purchased 1,557,177 shares for $151.8 million during August 24\u201330.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the week ending September 7, the company bought another 1,810,885 STRC shares for approximately $176.3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest $139.3 million transaction brought the total spent since July 20 to approximately $950.8 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy doubles preferred-share buyback authorization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy originally approved up to $1 billion for repurchases of its digital-credit securities in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">STRC was identified as the company\u2019s highest priority when management believed buying the shares would create value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On September 8, Strategy\u2019s board increased the total preferred-security repurchase authorization to $2 billion, including purchases that had already been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the transactions reported through September 13, Strategy still had around $1.05 billion of authorized preferred-stock repurchase capacity remaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its separate $1 billion authorization to repurchase MSTR common stock remained unused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy has explained that buying STRC below $100 allows it to retire $100 of stated value for less than that amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Repurchases can also reduce future preferred-dividend obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has said it may buy more aggressively when STRC trades at a larger discount and reduce purchases as the security approaches $100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MSTR and Bitcoin sales helped fund STRC buybacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A large portion of Strategy\u2019s buyback program has been financed through sales of MSTR common stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloomberg estimated that around $765 million, or roughly 80% of the total STRC repurchase spending since July 20, came from MSTR sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of that money first moved into Strategy\u2019s cash reserves before being used for the buybacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another roughly $161 million came from Bitcoin sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy\u2019s regulatory filings provide more detail on those transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between July 27 and August 2, Strategy sold 1,638 BTC for approximately $104.73 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of those proceeds, around $52.3 million was directed toward STRC repurchases, while the remaining $52.4 million was used for preferred dividend payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following week, Strategy sold another 1,690 BTC for $108.6 million at an average net price of approximately $64,262 per Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company said all of those proceeds were used to buy back STRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, the two allocations amount to about $160.9 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cash reserves also financed recent purchases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later STRC repurchases were increasingly financed through Strategy\u2019s U.S. dollar cash balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the first two reporting periods of September, the company used approximately $315.6 million in cash for STRC purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy\u2019s cash balance declined from $1.61 billion on August 30 to approximately $1.44 billion on September 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By September 13, the balance had fallen further to around $1.30 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s separate U.S. dollar reserve remained at approximately $5.10 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some analysts have questioned what could happen to STRC\u2019s market price if Strategy eventually reduces its buying activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy itself has acknowledged that its repurchase program and dividend policies may not always be enough to keep STRC near $100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy keeps Bitcoin holdings at 845,050 BTC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Strategy has remained active in the STRC market, its Bitcoin holdings have recently remained unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company reported no Bitcoin purchases or sales during the two reporting periods ending September 7 and September 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy therefore continues to hold 845,050 BTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company acquired those holdings for an aggregate cost of approximately $63.73 billion, giving it an average purchase price of about $75,412 per Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy\u2019s most recent Bitcoin purchase occurred between August 24 and August 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During that period, the company acquired 4,603 BTC for approximately $369.7 million at an average price of $80,318.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That acquisition was funded through MSTR at-the-market proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the same week, Strategy also allocated another $151.8 million from common-stock issuance toward STRC repurchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STRC buybacks outpace recent Bitcoin purchases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between July 20 and September 13, Strategy spent about $950.8 million repurchasing STRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the same period, it spent approximately $369.7 million on new Bitcoin purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means the company directed more than twice as much capital toward STRC repurchases as it did toward acquiring additional Bitcoin during the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shift highlights how important STRC\u2019s return toward its $100 stated amount has become to Strategy\u2019s capital-management strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Management has previously connected a recovery in STRC with its ability to resume issuing preferred shares and potentially use those proceeds for future Bitcoin purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With STRC now trading close to $100, that possibility may become increasingly relevant if the company\u2019s current policy remains unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy still has more than $1B available for buybacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy\u2019s latest filing leaves the company with substantial flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around $1.05 billion of authorized preferred-security repurchase capacity remains available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company can increase, reduce, suspend or completely stop purchases depending on factors such as STRC\u2019s price, trading liquidity, available capital and broader market conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, STRC\u2019s recovery from around $70 to above $97 shows that the preferred security has moved significantly closer to Strategy\u2019s stated $99\u2013$100 objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key question is whether STRC can maintain that level once the pace of company-supported buying changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strategy
