Strategy Resumes Bitcoin Buying With 4,603 BTC

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has resumed Bitcoin buying after a roughly 10-week pause. The company purchased 4,603 BTC for about $369.7 million between 24 and 30 August 2026, at an average price of $80,318 per Bitcoin. Its reported holdings rose to 845,050 BTC, reinforcing Strategy’s position as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Michael Saylor said Strategy also added $29 million to its US dollar cash position and repurchased $152 million of STRC preferred equity. As of 30 August, the company reported $6.71 billion in cash and other US dollar assets, with net leverage at 0%. Strategy has spent more than $63.7 billion on Bitcoin since adopting its cryptocurrency treasury strategy in 2020. The renewed Bitcoin buying is a constructive long-term signal for BTC and a closely watched indicator of corporate and institutional demand. However, one company’s purchase does not prove that broader institutional buying is accelerating. BTC was trading near $77,200, down 1.2% over 24 hours, with daily volume of about $81.7 billion. Because Strategy’s average purchase price exceeded the market price, the transaction may have limited immediate impact and could leave the company exposed to short-term volatility. Strategy shares also carry corporate and capital-structure risks that differ from directly holding Bitcoin.
