Strategy (MSTR) generated $104.73 million last week from selling 1,638 bitcoin and secured an additional $290.6 million through the sale of common stock.
In addition, the firm bought back 912,143 shares of its preferred stock STRC for $81.2 million, as reported in an SEC filing on Monday morning.
The bitcoin sales have decreased Strategy’s total bitcoin holdings to 842,138 BTC, which were acquired for $63.51 billion at an average price of $75,419 each. The firm also increased its USD reserve by $250 million, bringing the total to $4 billion.
Over the weekend, the company announced that it would maintain the annual dividend rate for STRC at 12%, and it does not plan to suggest a reduction until the shares consistently trade near their $100 valuation.
MSTR shares fell by 1.9% in pre-market trading, coinciding with a weekend drop in bitcoin’s price to $62,500. STRC shares remained relatively stable.
