The macro landscape and the building tension in different sectors, as well as growing inflation, have not deterred the world’s largest corporate holder of BTC from continuing to add more units to its stash.
Co-founder and former CEO Michael Saylor highlighted the latest purchase, noting the accumulation of 267 BTC. This puts the company’s total holdings at a new all-time high of 848,517 units.
Strategy has also repurchased $193 million worth of STRC, whose price neared its par level of $100 last week only to be rejected and close on Friday at under $98.
