Stock Sales Cover the Bill
To pull it off, Strategy sold 1.64 million shares of its own stock, raising around $736.4 million. It also raised an additional $3.9 million by selling off smaller positions. Altogether, the fresh cash was funneled directly into Bitcoin. At current supply rates, this single purchase consumed almost two weeks’ worth of new Bitcoin entering the market.
