Cash Reserve Expands
Strategy allocated $149.1 million from the stock sales to its USD reserve. Hence, its reserve increased by $150 million to approximately $4.8 billion. Additionally, the company used $52.4 million to cover dividends on its STRC preferred shares.
Moreover, Strategy directed $132.2 million toward repurchasing STRC securities under its Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program. The move strengthens its preferred-stock position while preserving substantial cash resources.
