Chief Executive Officer Micheal Saylor announced that the company has completed the purchase of 20,356 Bitcoins (BTC).
This is the largest purchase Strategy has made in the past two months. However, the share price of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is falling.
According to reports, the company is financing these transactions through billion-dollar share sales, which is undermining confidence in the company. If the price of Bitcoin were to fall, the impact on the company could be significant.
Strategy Buys Other Bitcoin
Recently, MicroStrategy changed its name to Strategy. The company strengthened its position in the list of the 'World's Largest Bitcoin Holders'. It completed a $2 billion share sale. CEO Micheal Saylor stated that the proceeds will be used to fund new Bitcoin acquisitions.

This was the company's largest transaction in the past two months. Saylor has been accumulating huge amounts of Bitcoin for months, although there were a few interruptions in February. Despite the Bitcoin purchases, MSTR stock is performing disappointingly.
There are several reasons behind the stock's decline. Last year, the share price was in line with Bitcoin's market growth. However, BTC is currently going through a bearish trend, which is definitely not helping Strategy.
In addition, massive share sales are affecting the company. For instance, in January, the company made another $2 billion offering, including an additional option for a $300 million offering.
Strategy also diversified its offerings by announcing a new perpetual stock. BlackRock owns about 5% of the company, showing how much stock has been sold.
The market is full of rumours that these Bitcoin purchases could create tax problems, but Saylor has no plans to stop the acquisitions.
In conclusion, it seems that Saylor is planning long-term strategies. Currently, the massive selling of shares is having a negative impact on the company, but a new bullish trend in Bitcoin could radically change the scenario.
This is not the first time Strategy has purchased such a large amount of BTC. In January, the company made a similar transaction. Not only Strategy, but also GameStop entered the race, buying Bitcoin to try to save the company.
