<p>While supporters view the move as another strong vote of confidence in Bitcoin, some critics continue to point to shareholder dilution caused by repeated stock sales.</p>
<p>Following the latest purchase, Strategy has spent just under $64 billion acquiring its Bitcoin holdings. However, with Bitcoin currently trading below the company’s average purchase price of $75,680, its holdings are showing an unrealized loss of roughly $10.4 billion.</p>

<p>Despite concerns about broader market conditions, investors reacted positively to the announcement. Shortly after the news, Bitcoin jumped around 3.5% and traded above $63,800.</p>
<p>The recovery comes after Bitcoin recently dropped below $59,500 amid market uncertainty.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many traders see Strategy’s continued accumulation as a sign of long-term confidence in Bitcoin’s future.</p>
