Strategy (MSTR) stock slips after-hours after SEC filing details fresh $108.8 million bitcoin buy

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:47 ET — After-hours Strategy Inc (MSTR) shares were last down 2.2% at $155.39 in after-hours trading on Monday after the company disclosed another bitcoin purchase funded by selling new shares. SEC The move matters because Strategy has positioned itself as a “Bitcoin Treasury Company,” tying its equity more tightly to bitcoin’s swings than most U.S. software stocks.

Silver ETFs slide as silver retreats from $83 record, rattling late-year buyers

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:30 ET Silver-backed funds slid on Monday after the metal reversed from fresh records. iShares Silver Trust (SLV) fell to about $65 and Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) traded below $24, each down about 8% by 10:18 a.m. ET, according to market data.
