Strategy (MSTR), the largest publicly traded holder of bitcoin BTC $ 69,922.92 , sold a record number of its perpetual preferred equity, Stretch (STRC), on Monday, using the proceeds to purchase about 1,420 bitcoin, according to data from STRC.live .

Monday’s session recorded nearly $300 million in total trading volume, compared with a 30-day average of $124 million, according to the company’s dashboard .

Last week, Strategy bought roughly $1.3 billion worth of BTC, nearly 18,000 coins. Strategy has described STRC as resembling a short-duration, high-yield savings instrument. The company recently raised the dividend rate on STRC to 11.5%. The stock pays monthly cash distributions.
