Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) raised $333.7 million last week through stock sales but bought zero Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) for the seventh straight week.

What Monday’s Filing Actually Shows

According to a Monday 8-K filing, Strategy sold 3.46 million MSTR shares last week, using the proceeds to repurchase $132.2 million of STRC preferred shares, fund $52.4 million in STRC dividends, and add roughly $150 million to its USD reserve. 

The reserve now stands at $4.80 billion, extending dividend coverage to 2.8 years. 

Meanwhile, Bitcoin holdings remain unchanged at 840,447 BTC, acquired at an average cost of $75,385 per coin.

Why Seven Weeks Without a Buy Matters

Strategy has not added a single Bitcoin since early July. Across those seven weeks, the company sold Bitcoin twice and spent the rest of the time raising cash through share sales to fund preferred dividends and buybacks rather than accumulating more coins.

Latest Private Market Opportunities

That is a meaningful shift from the weekly Bitcoin buying that defined Strategy’s playbook for years.

The numbers make the change visible. Strategy’s USD reserve stood at $2.55 billion in early July and now sits at $4.80 billion, nearly doubling in seven weeks, while its Bitcoin position has not moved an inch.

Why Saylor’s Missing Sunday Post Is Being Watched

Every Sunday, Saylor has posted his StrategyTracker chart, plotting every past Bitcoin purchase against Bitcoin’s price history, with a short caption. 

Traders have treated the post as an informal signal for what Monday’s filing will show, since Bitcoin purchase announcements historically followed the Sunday post.

That signal has broken down repeatedly in recent weeks as Strategy prioritizes cash building over accumulation. 

This Sunday, Saylor posted nothing at all, the first time in recent memory he has skipped the ritual entirely.

Where MSTR Stands Technically?

MSTR trades up 1% in premarket, sitting in the middle of the $90 to $105 range that has defined the stock for six weeks. 

The range has seen three rejections at $105 resistance and three holds at the $90 support zone. 

RSI at 43.27 sits below 50 with no bullish momentum and all EMAs stacked overhead.

Key levels for MSTR:

  • $105 — three-touch ceiling, break above opens $136
  • $90 — support floor, loss opens the 52-week low at $83
