The latest purchase lifted the company total to 845,256 BTC, keeping Strategy far ahead as the largest public corporate Bitcoin holder.<\/p>\n<p>The buy came just days after the company sold 32 BTC, worth about $2.5 million. That sale stood out because Saylor has spent years telling investors not to sell Bitcoin. Strategy said the sale helped fund dividends on its STRC perpetual preferred stock.<\/p>\n<p>A dividend is a payment a company makes to investors who hold certain shares. Preferred stock is a type of share that often pays set dividends before common shareholders receive anything.<\/p>\n<p>Saylor had already hinted that a sale could happen. On a recent earnings call, he said Strategy would <em>\u201cprobably sell some Bitcoin to fund a dividend just to inoculate the market \u2013 just to send the message that we did it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The market reaction showed why the sale mattered. Some traders worried that Strategy could become a forced seller if dividend costs and Bitcoin price pressure kept building. The latest purchase gives a different message: Strategy may sell small amounts when needed, but it still wants to keep adding Bitcoin overall.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cash Reserve Hits $1 Billion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Strategy also increased its US dollar reserve by $100 million to $1 billion. CoinDesk reported that the company raised $181 million through common stock sales and used the proceeds for both the Bitcoin purchase and the higher cash reserve.<\/p>\n<p>That cash buffer matters because Strategy has issued preferred stock with dividend obligations. More cash gives the company room to handle those payments without leaning too heavily on Bitcoin sales.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy stock rose more than 6% on Monday after the announcement, although it remained down more than 10% over five days and nearly 32% over one month. Bitcoin also had a rough week, falling more than 10% over seven days.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>Strategy, <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/microstrategy-rebrands-to-strategy-focusing-on-bitcoin-and-innovation\/\">formerly<\/a> MicroStrategy, turned into a Bitcoin treasury company after it began buying BTC in 2020.
