The latest moves indicate that Strategy is continuing to build its Bitcoin holdings while also managing its other financial commitments. According to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on October 19, Strategy has paid an average of about $82,400 for each Bitcoin in its latest purchase. The company has primarily financed the purchase by selling its Class A common shares (MSTR) and has used a small amount of cash.
