MicroStrategy IncorporatedRepurchases $176M preferred stock and expands buyback program, supporting share price without dilution.

Strategy has repurchased $176 million of its preferred stock, marking a shift away from its bitcoin-buying strategy. The company also increased its digital credit securities repurchase program from $1 billion to $2 billion. Despite the pivot, Strategy still holds 845,050 Bitcoin and $6.5 billion in USD assets. The repurchase aims to push the preferred stock back to par near $100, with shares trading between $97 and $98. Notably, Strategy funded this buyback using its secondary cash reserve, not its original reserve for dividends and expenses, and did not dilute shareholders. The flexible USD cash declined from approximately $1.61 billion to $1.44 billion, while Bitcoin holdings remained untouched. This move highlights Strategy's unique scale and liquidity to defend its complex capital structure, a capability that imitators may lack.
