Typically, Strategy funds its BTC purchases through the sale of its common stock. However, the company reported it “did not sell any shares under its at-the-market offering program and did not purchase any Bitcoin.”
The share price of its MSTR Class A stock on the Nasdaq has slid more than 60% in the last six months, reaching $126.78 apiece at the time of publication.
According to Strategy’s <a href="https://www.strategy.com/purchases" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> purchase history, Monday would mark the first time that the company did not report a weekly BTC buy since December 2025.
Although Executive Chairman Michael Saylor did not publicly announce any reason for the move, some companies have been <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-miner-pivot-ai-threat-or-opportunity-bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pivoting from mining </a>or acquiring more of the cryptocurrency amid increasing difficulty and falling prices — the price of BTC has declined by more than 18% in the last 12 months, reaching $67,197 at the time of publication.
Saylor’s weekly <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/2035706528490013146?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">posts</a> on the X social media platform have become closely watched as his company has added additional BTC holdings.
