The transaction builds on the firm’s recently introduced Digital Credit Capital Framework. The company intends to use its dollar reserve primarily to cover preferred-stock dividends and debt interest, reducing the need to sell Bitcoin during periods of market stress.
What Saylor failed to mention in the tweet was that the firm also sold some 1,638 BTC for approximately $105 million between July 27 and August 2 at an average price of $63,957 – according to the official filing.
