Huoxun Finance reported on March 18th that, according to CoinDesk analysis, Strategy Inc. last week used perpetual preferred stock as its primary vehicle for increasing its Bitcoin holdings for the first time, marking a potential shift in its financing model. The company announced on Monday that it purchased 22,337 Bitcoins last week, its fifth-largest acquisition in history. Of this, $1.18 billion, equivalent to approximately 16,800 Bitcoins (at an average price of $70,000), was raised through its STRC perpetual preferred stock program, far exceeding the $396 million raised through its common stock ATM program. The common stock ATM program has previously been its primary tool for accumulating Bitcoin holdings, currently totaling 761,068 BTC. Based on STRC's current 11.5% dividend yield, the $1.18 billion issuance creates approximately $135 million in annual dividend obligations, bringing the company's total annual dividend burden to over $1 billion. The company has set aside approximately $2.25 billion in reserves to cover these obligations, providing a buffer against rising financing costs. With its common stock price falling by more than 70%, the company prefers to support the share price without further diluting its equity. Therefore, it will be more selective in using common stock in the future, primarily when the net asset value multiple is significantly higher than 1 or when it needs to build up dollar reserves, relying more on STRC financing that avoids issuing new common stock. STRC has fallen below par value of $100 for three consecutive days since its ex-dividend date of March 15. If the one-month volume-weighted average price continues to be below par value, the company may consider increasing the dividend by another 25 basis points to support the price.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that on the evening of March 17th local time, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel publicly responded to the US government's threats against Cuba via social media, stating that "any foreign aggressor will encounter an impenetrable line of resistance." Díaz-Canel pointed out that the US has been openly threatening to overthrow Cuba's constitutional order by force almost daily, using the infuriating pretext of "economic difficulties facing Cuba," which he claimed are the result of over 60 years of US suppression and isolation. Díaz-Canel stated that the US is attempting to openly claim ownership of Cuba, its resources, property, and even the economy it is trying to strangle to force Cuba into submission. Only in this way can this brutal economic war, a collective punishment against the entire Cuban people, be justified. Díaz-Canel emphasized that, facing the most dire situation, Cuba firmly believes that any foreign aggressor will encounter an impenetrable line of resistance. Cuba remains steadfast.
