For the first time since launching its high-yield securities in July, Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. funded its latest $1 billion weekly Bitcoin purchase entirely through the sale of its “Stretch” perpetual preferred shares.

The tokens were acquired in the seven days ended April 12, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin said in an US Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Monday.
