Strategy Repurchases $1.5 Billion of Its Own Bonds
Strategy has repurchased its own convertible bonds due in 2029 for $1.5 billion. The transaction was completed at a discount of approximately 8% to par. Strategy has completed the repurchase of $1.5 billion of its 2029 Convertible Notes at an ~8% discount to par, generating an incremental 0.7% BTC Yield and lowering aggregate debt to $6.7 billion. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/cbx4BlpsKV— Michael Saylor (@saylor) May 26, 2026 As a result of this financial operation, the company's total debt has been reduced to $6.7 billion. The yield on bitcoin assets per share increased by 0.7%. Since the beginning of the year, this indicator has reached 13.3%. In the week ending May 25, Strategy did not purchase any cryptocurrency. The company holds 843,738 BTC on its balance sheet. The total value of the accumulated digital assets is approximately $63.87 billion. The average purchase price of one bitcoin for the company over the entire period was about $75,700. The company's founder, Michael Saylor, noted that the flexible capital structure allows for balance sheet optimization depending on market conditions. The firm's liquid reserve in US dollars currently amounts to $871 million, and management plans to replenish it in the future. Bitcoin Treasuries Last week, small public companies acquired 602.6 BTC worth approximately $46 million: Strive purchased 381.6 BTC; DDC Enterprise Limited — 200 BTC; The Smarter Web Company — 19 BTC; Hyperscale Data — 2 BTC. The firms made these purchases when the price of bitcoin fell below $80,000. For instance, Strive acquired the asset at an average price of $79,348, while DDC paid $79,496. The activity of small businesses coincided with an outflow of funds from spot exchange-traded funds based on the leading cryptocurrency. Over six trading days, $1.54 billion was withdrawn from these instruments. Analysts at Santiment described this as a "counter-indicator," noting that ETF investors' behavior often reflects retail sentiment rather than "smart money." Currently, bitcoin treasuries include 198 public companies. They hold 1.24 million BTC — nearly 6% of the total market supply of the asset. Source: BitcoinTreasuries.
