Lark Davis, a Bitcoin investor and entrepreneur, noted that Strategy’s preferred stock product, STRC has become the main funding mechanism for Bitcoin purchases. Davis said that the capital generated by the program allows for an average of 1,940 BTC to be purchased per day. Peak days can reach 5,700 BTC.
