Strategy Buys 4,603 Bitcoin, Lifting Holdings to 845,050 BTC
Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has built the world’s largest corporate bitcoin treasury by repeatedly tapping equity and debt markets to fund purchases. The strategy has turned its shares into a widely used proxy for institutional exposure to the cryptocurrency, while tying the company’s valuation closely to bitcoin prices and leaving shareholders exposed to dilution, financing costs and sharp swings in the digital asset.
The company bought 4,603 bitcoin for about $369.7 million during the final week of August, funding the acquisition through common-stock issuance. The purchase, its first since June, implies an average price of roughly $80,300 per token. Strategy’s holdings increased to 845,050 BTC after the transaction, with total acquisition costs reaching about $63.73 billion and an average purchase price of approximately $75,400 per bitcoin.

The history behind this eventStrategy Sells $105 Million in Bitcoin to Fund Dividends, STRC Buyback
Strategy, best known for financing a vast Bitcoin stockpile through equity and preferred-share issuance, has begun using some of its cryptocurrency holdings to support shareholder payouts and liquidity. The move is significant because Bitcoin remains the company’s core treasury asset, while dividends on its preferred securities and share repurchases create recurring dollar obligations that must be balanced against its long-term accumulation strategy.
In the week ended Aug. 2, Strategy sold 1,638 Bitcoin for about $104.7 million, its first disposal since June, reducing holdings to 842,138 tokens. Roughly half of the proceeds was allocated to preferred-stock dividends and the remainder to repurchases of STRC shares. The transaction extended the company’s estimated dollar liquidity runway to 2.3 years, giving it more capacity to meet cash commitments without relying solely on fresh stock issuance.
Strategy Raises Cash Reserve to $3.75 Billion, Extends Bitcoin Pause
Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has used equity and debt financing to accumulate bitcoin since 2020, turning the software company into the world’s largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency. The strategy ties its market value closely to bitcoin while creating recurring obligations from preferred shares and borrowings. Its decision to build a U.S. dollar reserve, established on Dec. 1, 2025, is therefore important: it gives the company liquidity to cover dividends and interest without selling bitcoin during market stress.
Strategy said on July 27, 2026, that it sold 5,429,160 MSTR common shares through its at-the-market program from July 20 through July 26, raising $544.5 million in net proceeds. It added $525 million to its USD Reserve, lifting the balance to $3.75 billion, enough to cover 2.1 years of preferred dividends and debt interest. The company made no bitcoin purchase for a fifth straight week, leaving holdings at 843,775 BTC; its last disclosed purchase was 520 BTC for $35 million on June 22.
Strategy Raises $263.5 Million, Keeps Bitcoin Holdings Unchanged

The approach gives investors leveraged exposure to Bitcoin, though repeated equity issuance can dilute existing shareholders.
The company sold 2,732,318 MSTR shares through its at-the-market program from July 13 to July 19, 2026, generating $263.5 million in net proceeds. Strategy added $225 million to its dollar reserve, lifting the balance to $3.225 billion as of July 19. It neither bought nor sold Bitcoin during the week, marking a second consecutive pause, and retained 843,775 BTC acquired for about $63.69 billion, or an average $75,476 per coin.
