(Nasdaq: MSTR), revealed on July 27 in an X post that <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/saylor\/status\/2081730940544360835\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">future STRC repurchases may be funded through either bitcoin sales or MSTR stock sales<\/a>, depending on market conditions. STRC is Strategy\u2019s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, carrying a $100 stated amount and a dividend rate that management evaluates monthly.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin sales could become an attractive financing option when STRC trades sufficiently below $100, allowing the company to retire preferred shares at a discount.<\/p>\n<p>Saylor said the company aims to keep STRC trading near its $100 stated amount with high liquidity, low volatility, and sustainable independent demand. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategy.com\/press\/strategy-announces-digital-credit-capital-framework_06-29-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strategy\u2019s digital credit capital framework<\/a>, it does not intend to issue additional STRC below $100.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Discounted Buybacks Guide the Purchase Pace<\/h2>\n<p>During the week ending July 26, the company repurchased 288,930 STRC shares for approximately $25 million at an average price of $86.52 per share, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategy.com\/press\/strategy-initiates-strc-repurchases-and-announces-ongoing-buyback-policy_07-27-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the company announced on July 27<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Saylor presented Strategy as a regular and disciplined buyer below $100, with repurchases increasing at deeper discounts and tapering as STRC approaches its stated amount. Another $975 million remains available under the company\u2019s preferred securities repurchase authorization, giving management substantial capacity for future transactions. At the latest average purchase price, the company acquired each STRC share for $13.48 below its stated amount before accounting for future dividend savings.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy President and CEO Phong Le explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAt prices below $100 per share, STRC repurchases represent an attractive allocation of capital because they can reduce future preferred dividend requirements at a discount.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe intend to scale our purchases according to both price and liquidity\u2014more at deeper discounts and less as the STRC trading price approaches $100 per share\u2014while allowing independent market demand to establish a healthy and sustainable market,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategy.com\/strc\/learn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">STRC terms and dividend policy<\/a> outline the current 12% annualized dividend rate and the factors management reviews during monthly evaluations.<\/p>\n<h2>USD Reserve Stays Separate From Buybacks<\/h2>\n<p>Separately, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/strategy-adds-525m-to-usd-reserve-pushing-dividend-coverage-to-2-1-years\/\">Strategy increased its USD Reserve by $525 million<\/a> through MSTR common-stock sales, raising the balance to a record $3.75 billion. The reserve covers approximately 25 months of expected preferred dividend payments and remains dedicated to preferred dividends and debt obligations under Strategy\u2019s board-approved policy.<\/p>\n<p>That restriction leaves future STRC repurchases to be financed through other sources, including MSTR stock sales and, as Saylor outlined, bitcoin sales when market conditions justify them.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than drawing from the USD Reserve, Strategy now has two principal funding channels for STRC repurchases: MSTR issuance and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/debate-grows-over-strategy-using-bitcoin-sales-to-fund-strc-buybacks\/\">bitcoin sales when management believes the economics justify them<\/a>. That flexibility allows the company to retire discounted preferred shares without tapping funds reserved for dividends and debt obligations.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/strategy-opens-the-door-to-bitcoin-sales-michael-saylor-explains-why-it-makes-sense\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Michael Saylor explained that Strategy may fund STRC repurchases through MSTR stock sales or bitcoin sales.
