This follows a purchase of an estimated 1420.60 BTC on Monday, bringing its weekly total thus far to around 3,519 BTC. At the current pace, Strategy could surpass last week’s purchases of approximately 4,294 BTC.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Strategy’s Ramps Up Bitcoin Buys Using STRC</h2>Strategy has been increasing the sale of its STRC shares to fund its Bitcoin purchases. Last week, the company sold 3.7 million shares to help finance part of its purchase of nearly 18,000 BTC for $1.3 billion.&nbsp;The ramp-up in Bitcoin buys funded using STRC also comes after Strategy amended its Omnibus Sales Agreement to allow multiple agents to sell the same class of securities on a single trading day during pre-market or after-hours sessions on Monday. The change allows the option to do block trades after 4 p.m. ET., which means Strategy can tap demand around macro events, or when Bitcoin makes a sharp move, outside of regular trading, rather than cramming everything into day trades.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Is Retail Saying About MSTR Stock?</h2><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MSTR">MSTR’s stock</a> edged 0.42% higher after closing the day down by 0.35%.
