Strategy has resumed Bitcoin accumulation, purchasing 4,603 BTC for $370 million. The firm now holds 845,050 BTC as it pivots back from a summer hiatus.
Strategy has resumed its Bitcoin accumulation program, acquiring 4,603 BTC for approximately $370 million between August 24 and August 30 [2, 3]. The move marks the company’s first purchase in roughly two months, signaling a shift back to growth after a summer period spent selling holdings to bolster its USD liquidity [1, 3].

The firm financed the acquisition by selling 4,531,421 MSTR shares through an at-the-market offering, which generated $602.8 million in net proceeds [3]. Beyond the Bitcoin purchase, Strategy allocated $151.8 million to repurchase STRC preferred stock and $50.7 million to related dividend payments, while adding $30 million to its unrestricted USD cash account [3]. This capital management strategy maintains the company’s net leverage at 0.0% [4].
The return to buying follows a period of divestment earlier in the summer, during which the company sold 6,948 BTC at an average price of approximately $62,250 per coin [3]. By repurchasing at an average of $80,318, the company has effectively bought back in at a price roughly 29% higher than its recent sales [3]. Despite this, the company’s total Bitcoin treasury is now valued at approximately $66.4 billion, turning green for the first time since May [1].
Bitcoin traded near $78,000 following the announcement, having recently failed to hold a push into the $79,000 supply zone [2, 4]. Market analysts have noted a period of sideways movement, with the asset currently testing support levels near $77,000 [4].
Strategy’s shift back to accumulation was contingent on the recovery of its share price, which had previously tumbled toward $75 as the company’s funding route via STRC preferred stock closed in June [1, 3]. With STRC recovering to over $97 by the end of last week, the company regained the capacity to utilize equity as a funding source for its treasury expansion [1, 3].
The company’s ability to sustain this accumulation pace remains tied to the performance of its equity and the stability of its $6.71 billion USD reserve [3, 4]. Whether the firm continues to prioritize Bitcoin growth or balances further share buybacks will depend on the ongoing relationship between its stock price and the underlying value of its digital asset holdings [3].

The price of Bitcoin is $79,863 as of September 7, 2026. This reflects a 23.15% gain since August 7, 2026, though the price remains 10% lower than its January 1, 2026, starting point.
$82,000 serves as a resistance level where sellers have repeatedly stopped Bitcoin from advancing further. Bitcoin has failed to hold above this price point four times since August 25, 2026, and also experienced a rejection at this level in May 2026.
The Senate vote on the CLARITY Act on September 15, 2026, and the Federal Reserve interest rate decision on September 16, 2026, are viewed as high-stakes events for Bitcoin. A potential rate hike could increase bond yields, which may lead investors to move capital away from non-yielding assets like Bitcoin.
Bitcoin climbed back above its 50-week moving average of $81,041 on September 3, 2026, which is a metric often used to distinguish between longer-term uptrends and downtrends. However, Bitcoin remains down 27.49% over the twelve months leading up to September 7, 2026.
