Why Is Strategy Piling Up Cash Instead Of Buying Bitcoin?Strategy filed an 8-K with the SEC Monday confirming it sold 2,732,318 MSTR shares between July 13 and July 19, boosting its USD reserve by $225 million to $3.225 billion. The week prior brought in another $466.7 million through 4,818,781 share sales, also with no Bitcoin purchased.The reserve funds dividend payments on preferred stock and services outstanding debt, making it a structural requirement rather than a discretionary choice. Strategy’s 843,775 BTC position sits at roughly $54.7 billion, purchased at an average of $75,476 per coin, and has not moved since the company sold 3,588 BTC for $216 million in early July to cover preferred stock dividends.At current prices, the Bitcoin stack carries roughly $9 billion in paper losses against a total cost basis of $63.7 billion.Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Signal Fails To Deliver AgainMichael Saylor posted a Bitcoin tracker chart to X on Sunday with the caption “What’s next?” His Sunday posts have historically preceded Bitcoin purchase announcements the following Monday.
