Strategy Resumes Bitcoin Buying, Raising Holdings to 845,050 Coins While Market Value Lags

The company’s late‑August $370 million purchase narrows past losses but leaves management weighing cash uses and legacy debt as Bitcoin price and interest rates set the near‑term outlook.

Overview

  • Strategy ended a roughly 10‑week pause by buying 4,603 BTC for about $370 million in late August, bringing its total holdings to 845,050 coins valued at roughly $68.5 billion.
  • Those Bitcoin holdings now exceed Strategy’s market capitalization and enterprise value, creating a valuation gap that reflects both potential upside and investor concern about company risk.
  • Earlier this year the firm sold about 7,000 BTC to cover preferred dividends and reduce debt, then raised roughly $2.0 billion in August equity that rebuilt cash and pushed reported net leverage toward zero.
  • Management says it remains bullish on Bitcoin while retaining discretion to use USD reserves for future BTC purchases, preferred repurchases, buybacks or debt actions as it balances liquidity needs.
  • Near‑term risks include outstanding convertible debt and preferred obligations plus higher Treasury yields and interest rates that could curb demand for Bitcoin even as the token has rallied about 30% in the past month.
