ME News report, June 2 (UTC+8): According to comprehensive disclosure from BBX crypto-related stock information, yesterday marked two significant developments: one being a maturity signal in capital structure with the first-ever BTC-backed physical dividend issued by the largest BTC treasury company, and the other being a market structure upgrade with regulated derivatives infrastructure achieving 24/7 synchronization with the crypto spot market for the first time.
Key Updates Quick Recap
Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) June 1 Form 8-K: Between May 26 and 31, the company sold 32 BTC at a net average price of approximately $77,135 per BTC, generating total net proceeds of about $25 million; the proceeds are expected to be entirely used for preferred stock dividend payments. As of May 31, the total holdings decreased to 843,706 BTC (a reduction of 32 BTC from 843,738 BTC on May 25), with a total cost basis of $6.387 billion and an average cost of approximately $75,699 per BTC. This marks the first sale since Strategy began systematically accumulating Bitcoin in August 2020, signifying the company’s capital structure has evolved into a new phase where physical BTC holdings are liquidated to support preferred stock dividends, representing the first practical implementation of CEO Phong Le’s previously stated “dynamic, multi-variable capital allocation model.” The May 26 Form 8-K previously disclosed that the USD Reserve had declined to $871 million; this Form 8-K simultaneously updates the USD Reserve movement (final balance subject to confirmation in official filings).
