O que aconteceu

Strategy, the largest public bitcoin holder, filed its weekly update with the SEC for October 26 to November 1. It bought 811 BTC for $65.5 million at an average of $80,846. Another $208.2 million went to buying back its STRC preferred stock. Strategy now holds 849,327 BTC.

Por que importa para você

Strategy used to buy a lot of bitcoin almost every week. Now most of its money goes to supporting the STRC price. The company does not issue new STRC below $100, and the stock trades just under that. So this source of money for bitcoin buys is closed for now.
