How Does Strategy Buy Its Bitcoin?
Using a combination of operating cash flow, stock offerings, and debt instruments such as convertible bonds, Strategy raises capital. The money raised is then used to buy Bitcoin and add it to its corporate treasury. The strategy is predicated on the idea, often expressed by Michael Saylor, that Bitcoin is preferable to holding conventional fiat reserves because it serves as a long-term store of value and a hedge against currency depreciation.
