Over the past week, the largest corporate holder of bitcoins, Strategy, has added 7000 BTC to its reserves, amounting to $500 million. This acquisition was financed through the sale of perpetual preferred shares of Stretch (STRC).

In the last two weeks, Strategy has purchased over 11,000 BTC. Since the launch of its preferred shares, the company has accumulated approximately 34,000 BTC through this method. This figure does not include additional bitcoins acquired, such as those funded by the issuance of common shares of MSTR.

Strategy has indicated that corporate investors are showing interest in the preferred shares. Asset manager Strive invested $50 million in STRC, while digital credit firm Apyx acquired an additional 200,000 STRC shares, increasing its total holdings to 255,000 shares.

STRC offers a yield of 11.5% and provides monthly dividends. The dividend rate is adjusted to maintain the share price close to the nominal value of $100 and to limit volatility. Earlier, Strategy stated that from this year, bitcoin purchases would be funded specifically from the sale of Stretch.

From March 2 to March 8, Strategy increased its bitcoin reserves by 17,946 coins, spending $1.28 billion. Since its inception, the company has invested over $56 billion in the leading cryptocurrency. During this time, according to CoinGecko, Strategy’s bitcoin reserves have depreciated by more than 8%, bringing the total to $51 billion.

Previously, Strategy’s CEO Michael Saylor mentioned that the recovery of the bitcoin market could take between two to seven years. However, for long-term investors, such a timeframe is merely a segment of the market cycle rather than a disaster, according to the businessman. He assured that the company would withstand a decline in the leading cryptocurrency down to $8000.
