Strategy Again Skips Bitcoin Buy And Establishes USD Cash Dollar Reserve

Bitcoin treasury Strategy has established a new cash reserve that it will use to buy Bitcoin, according to a Monday filing. 

The Nasdaq-listed company said it not only had increased its typical cash buffer to $5.1 billion but also created another pot of $1.59 billion which it may use to buy bitcoin and stock. 

Strategy has not bought bitcoin since June, instead focusing on stock buy-backs and creating a cushion — as well as occasionally selling bitcoin. 

“USD Cash is a separately designated pool of U.S. dollar liquidity that the Company may retain for future deployment for general Bitcoin Treasury Company purposes, which may include acquiring bitcoin, paying declared cash dividends on Strategy’s preferred stock and interest on its outstanding indebtedness, repurchasing Strategy’s MSTR Stock or preferred stock, repaying, repurchasing or redeeming Strategy’s outstanding convertible notes, increasing the USD Reserve, and other similar Bitcoin Treasury Company purposes,” the filing stated. 

Strategy has said that its buyback plan — approved in July — is about balance-sheet strength rather than retreat. President and CEO Phong Le has said that Strategy intends to remain a long-term bitcoin buyer.
