Strategy has paused Bitcoin purchases this week, confirming no new buys despite Bitcoin nearing $80k resistance. This move, rather than causing a sell-off, was seen positively by investors who view it as a strategic step to avoid diluting shares and preserve shareholder value. Strategy’s use of its Class C stock (STRC) to fund Bitcoin accumulation remains key, with over 77k BTC bought this year via this method. The market’s reaction reflects confidence in Strategy’s long-term plan, making the ambitious 1 million BTC target by mid-2024 seem more achievable, while MSTR stock outperformed Bitcoin significantly in April, reinforcing its role as a leveraged Bitcoin proxy.
