Di company target of 1 million BTC set clear, steady buying rhythm (≈6,158 BTC/week left) we fit tighten available liquidity and ginger positive sentiment. Funding through STRC and issuing equity make am more likely dem go continue to buy, though e fit add market complexity (share-class dynamics, dividend obligations).
