Strategy purchases nearly $1 billion worth of Bitcoin, OranjeBTC reactivates BTC acquisition

Source: PortaldoBitcoin Original Title: Strategy purchases nearly US$ 1 billion in Bitcoin and OranjeBTC resumes BTC acquisitions after two weeks Original Link: Strategy is a Bitcoin vault management company that has purchased over 10,000 BTC for the second consecutive week, adding 10,645 BTC from December 8 to 14, at a cost of approximately $980.3 million, with an average price of $92,098 per Bitcoin.

Following the new acquisition, Strategy now holds 671,268 BTC, with a total value of about $60 billion, at an average purchase price of $74,972 per BTC, with a total cost of roughly $50.3 billion. The company currently owns more than 3% of the global Bitcoin supply, which stands at 21 million, with unrealized profits of $9.7 billion.

The recent funds for acquisitions came from the sale of its Class A common stock (MSTR), perpetual preferred stock Strike (STRK), and perpetual preferred stock Stride (STRD). Last week, Strategy sold 4.789 million shares of MSTR stock, raising approximately $882.2 million.

As of December 14, there are $12.56 billion worth of MSTR shares available for issuance and sale, and the company also sold 7,036 shares of STRK (about $600,000), with remaining $20.34 billion available for issuance, and 1.029 million shares of STRD (around $82.2 million), with an remaining $4.01 billion.

MSCI Index Controversy

Recently, Strategy has become involved in a significant dispute with MSCI, facing the risk of being removed from the index, which could lead to a sharp decline in stock prices. Strategy has requested MSCI to abandon a proposal that would prevent companies with digital asset holdings exceeding 50% of their total assets in the global reference stock index from being included in the index.

In a 12-page letter submitted to the MSCI Equity Index Committee on Wednesday, Strategy argued that Bitcoin vault management companies will “move in and out” of major indices, and fluctuations in Bitcoin prices or changes in accounting standards could cause “confusion and chaos” for index providers and investors.

MSCI contends that digital asset vault (DAT) companies like Strategy and BitMine are more akin to investment funds rather than traditional operating companies, which are generally avoided by MSCI’s major stock indices. The final decision from MSCI is expected to be made before January 15, prior to the February index rebalancing.

Meanwhile, Strategy successfully retained its position in the Nasdaq 100 during the annual index rebalancing on Friday, despite its Bitcoin-centric business model facing increasing scrutiny.
