MSTR shares rise 2.63% after the firm opts for preferred stock repurchase instead of bitcoin purchases amid crypto market downturn.
MicroStrategy Incorporated (MSTR) announced a repurchase of its preferred stock this week, deviating from its usual strategy of accumulating bitcoin. The move follows a sharp decline in crypto markets, signaling potential strain on its business model tied to bitcoin holdings.
The company had previously focused on bitcoin acquisitions as a treasury reserve asset, but recent volatility appears to have prompted a shift. Shares of MSTR traded 2.63% higher following the announcement, reflecting investor reaction to the strategic change.
