Original Report

Strategy acquired an additional 535 bitcoin for $43 million, bringing its total holdings to 818,869 BTC. The company's co-founder, Michael Saylor, stated that these purchases were funded by stock sales. Despite a Q1 net loss largely due to unrealized bitcoin markdowns, Strategy's preferred stock has become a key driver for its bitcoin acquisitions.
