Strategy's discretionary USD Cash fell to $447.3 million as the company spent another $193.1 million on STRC buybacks and raised its preferred-stock repurchase authorization to $3 billion.<\/p>\n

The Michael Saylor<\/a>-led company disclosed<\/a> on Oct. 19 that it bought Bitcoin for $22.1 million at an average price of $82,900 over the previous week. The acquisitions increased its holdings to 848,517 BTC, accumulated for approximately $64.02 billion.<\/p>\n

During the same period, Strategy spent another $193.1 million repurchasing nearly 1.94 million shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC),<\/a> extending an aggressive campaign to support the security's trading price near its $100 stated value.<\/p>\n

The firm's discretionary USD Cash holdings declined about 72% to $447.3 million as of Oct. 18, down from $1.61 billion on Aug. 30<\/a>. The latest weekly decline of $193.2 million comprised $193.1 million in STRC repurchases and $100,000 in Bitcoin purchases.<\/p>\n

Chart Showing How Strategy's Flexible USD Cash Shrank in the Past Weeks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Strategy financed $22 million of its latest Bitcoin acquisitions<\/a> through the sale of 140,872 common shares, using just $100,000 of USD Cash for the remainder.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, its separate USD Reserve, designated primarily for dividend and debt-interest payments, stood at $4.83 billion after the company withdrew $45.5 million for preferred-stock dividends.<\/p>\n

Strategy expands STRC buybacks despite spending $562 million near $99<\/h2>\n

Strategy's board increased its digital credit securities repurchase authorization by 50% to $3 billion from $2 billion, leaving approximately $1.16 billion available for additional purchases.<\/p>\n

The expansion follows the company's spending roughly $1.84 billion to buy back STRC since it began repurchases in July.<\/p>\n

Of that amount, the company deployed $713.5 million in the last four weeks through Oct. 18, including about $561.8 million during the three weeks beginning Sept. 28, when STRC traded between $99 and $100 for most of the period.<\/a><\/p>\n

The sustained buying contrasts with Strategy's original plan to gradually reduce repurchases as the preferred stock approached its intended trading range.<\/p>\n

In July, Chief Executive Officer Phong Le said the company would make larger purchases at deeper discounts and taper spending as STRC recovered toward par<\/a>. Its initial purchases averaged about $86.53 per share, securing a discount of nearly 13.5%.<\/p>\n

However, the latest repurchases averaged approximately $99.60 per share, a discount of just 0.4%. Strategy has continued deploying substantial capital, even as the immediate financial benefit of buying below stated value has narrowed.<\/p>\n

Market commentator Mark Harvey observed<\/a> that Strategy has repurchased about one-fifth of STRC's outstanding shares without securing a sustained return to $100. He questioned whether demand for the security was proving weaker than anticipated despite the scale of the company's intervention.<\/p>\n

The continued expenditure also creates a funding challenge. As an illustration, the remaining $447.3 million in discretionary USD Cash would fund about 2.3 weeks of repurchases at the latest weekly pace of $193.1 million. Sustaining that pace would require replenishing USD Cash or using another funding source.<\/p>\n

MSCI exclusion threat tests Wall Street's bullish Strategy outlook<\/h2>\n

Strategy's latest capital-management moves follow another difficult week for its common shareholders as index provider MSCI adopted new rules that could remove Bitcoin treasury companies from major global benchmarks.<\/p>\n

MSTR fell 11.35% over the five trading sessions ended Oct. 16, declining from $154.34 to $136.83.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 15, MSCI announced that companies classified as non-operating entities would become ineligible for its Global Investable Market Indexes. The changes potentially affect Strategy and Japan's Metaplanet,<\/a> with the final list of affected companies scheduled for Nov. 11 ahead of implementation on Nov. 30.<\/p>\n

The threat adds another pressure point on Strategy's equity financing model. A CoinDesk report shared by Ki Young Ju<\/a> cited JPMorgan's estimate that exclusion from MSCI benchmarks could trigger approximately $2.8 billion in forced selling<\/a> by passive investment funds.<\/p>\n

VanEck's Matthew Sigel noted<\/a> that STRC briefly reached $99.90 last week before falling to $97.72 following MSCI's announcement. He argued that preferred-stock indexes largely lack MSCI-linked ownership, making STRC's return to par a critical test of Strategy's ability to restart larger Bitcoin purchases through at-the-market offerings.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, CryptoQuant<\/a> Consensus data shows<\/a> that the analysts it tracks remain overwhelmingly bullish on Strategy despite the index-related uncertainty.<\/p>\n

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju pointed<\/a> to price targets of $240 from Citigroup, $175 from Barclays and $195 from B. Riley, arguing that analyst expectations remain positive and that MSCI-related selling risks have largely been incorporated into MSTR's valuation.<\/p>\n

Ju said the more consequential indicators were Strategy's market-value-to-net-asset-value ratio near one, STRC's proximity to par<\/a> and the company's liquidity reserves supporting preferred dividends.<\/p>\n

Strategy is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings on Oct. 29<\/a>. MSCI will publish its final index deletion list on Nov. 11<\/a>, ahead of the new rules taking effect after the Nov. 30 close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
