Strategy buys back $176 million in STRC, Bitcoin-themed sneakers sold out but do not support BTC payment

Odaily News: Bitcoin treasury company Strategy has listed Nike Air Jordan and Nike Dunk sneakers bearing its own branding on its official web store, both priced at $250. Both pairs of shoes are currently shown as sold out, and they are not official Nike collaboration products.

The Strategy store currently only accepts credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, and does not support payment via Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. This payment setup has drawn criticism from social media users, with some pointing out that Bitcoin-themed merchandise cannot be purchased with BTC.

Tuesday morning, after the Labor Day market closure, Saylor indicated that Strategy had repurchased $176 million in STRC preferred stock. During the same period, the company has recently paused its Bitcoin purchases, and social media discussions about the sneaker merchandise emerged alongside this development. (Bitcoin.com News)
