Strategy Raises $467M Selling MSTR Shares, Holds BTC Stack

Summarized from Cointelegraph

Strategy sold $466.7M in MSTR shares to push its cash reserve to $3B, leaving its 843,775 Bitcoin holdings completely intact.

Strategy moved aggressively to shore up its cash position this week, selling $466.7 million worth of MSTR shares and pushing its US dollar reserve to $3 billion — all without touching a single satoshi of its massive Bitcoin treasury, according to Cointelegraph.

By keeping its 843,775 BTC stack untouched, Strategy signals continued conviction in Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset.
