Saylor calls a bull market, but Strategy spent ~9x more on STRC buybacks than on bitcoin last week

Michael Saylor said on Bloomberg Tuesday that bitcoin is at the start of a new bull market and headed back above $100,000.

I'd watch where Strategy's cash went instead. Its Monday filing shows $192.4M spent buying back STRC preferred stock vs $21.5M on 250 BTC. That's ~9x more on buybacks. At ~$83K, its 848,250 BTC sits only ~10% above the $75,444 average cost.
