Strategy resumed bitcoin purchases last week, adding 950 BTC for about $75.7 million, funded from its USD reserve and cash. The move increases Strategy’s total BTC holdings to roughly 846,000 coins, purchased at an average price of $74,417 per coin. With bitcoin near $84,500, Strategy’s shares were up about 7% in pre-market trading.
Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, bought 4,603 BTC for about $369.7 million between Aug. 24–30 at an average price of $80,318, raising its total holding to 845,050 BTC (roughly $66.1 billion at current prices) and about $2.3 billion in unrealized profits. The purchase was funded by ATM sales of MSTR stock; Strategy also advanced a broad program including a $1 billion buyback of digital credit securities, a separate $1 billion common stock buyback, a $5 billion BTC monetization plan, and dividends, suggesting renewed buying after a pause.

Strategy sold 1,638 BTC for about $104.7 million between July 27 and Aug. 2 at an average price of roughly $63,957, reducing its BTC holdings to 843,138 BTC (about 4% of the 21 million supply). Proceeds funded distributions on STRC and STRC buybacks, and the firm also sold 3,011,361 MSTR shares for about $290.6 million while boosting its USD reserve. Bitcoin traded near $62,400 after the filing, and the position carries roughly $10.9 billion in unrealized losses as Q2 results show an $8.2 billion hit from BTC declines.
The Bitcoin-treasury company Strategy (MSTR) is revamping its long-standing Bitcoin strategy to shift from a one-way capital approach to active capital management amid a crypto downturn. It plans to sell up to $1.25 billion of Bitcoin to fund a five-part framework: a US dollar reserve policy, a revised preferred-stock policy, a digital credit securities repurchase program, a common stock repurchase program (up to $1 billion), and a Bitcoin monetization program. The board will require reserves equal to at least one year of preferred-dividend payments, enabling up to $1 billion in preferred stock repurchases and up to $1 billion in common stock buybacks. With about $2.55 billion in USD reserves today, the sale could lift total reserves to roughly $3.8 billion, providing a cushion for dividends and interest. Strategy owns about 3% of all outstanding Bitcoin, and CEO Phong Le says the changes aim to create shareholder value through more flexible capital management.
MicroStrategy shows 847,363 bitcoin worth about $50.9 billion as of June 28, 2026, with an average cost of $75,653 per BTC across 113 buys, signaling continued accumulation despite a slump in MSTR as concerns over funding and dividend obligations mount; Saylor indicated more data points and buying could be coming, while the treasury reportedly still covers roughly 10 months of payouts.
Strategy (the company formerly MicroStrategy) sold 32 BTC for $2.5 million—the first Bitcoin sale since 2022—to cover preferred dividends, sending MSTR down roughly 31% in the last month as Bitcoin trades near $64,000. The firm still holds over 843,000 BTC with a cost basis around $75,700 per coin and an unrealized loss of about $17.4 billion, amplifying bear risk alongside a 63% chance of MSCI delisting by 2026 and a June 8 shareholder vote that could indicate whether this sale was a one-off or the start of a policy shift. Bulls say the treasury remains a net aggregator; bears point to optics and potential further sales. A meaningful buy/hold signal will hinge on the next data point—if a fresh BTC purchase appears, the thesis could stay intact; otherwise holding around $126 may be prudent until more clarity emerges.
TipRanks highlights a top investor sees a possible buy window for MicroStrategy (MSTR) as Bitcoin remains volatile. The Q4 2025 results show a large on‑paper loss from fair‑value accounting of its bitcoin holdings, but management’s indefinite bitcoin horizon means most losses are unrealized. MSTR trades near its bitcoin value (mNAV ~1.08) and has historically outperformed BTC when bought at or below that level, suggesting upside if BTC falls further. The investor maintains a Hold stance for now; analysts are broadly bullish with a Strong Buy consensus and a 12‑month target of $361.73 (about 168% upside). If BTC bears persist and mNAV drops below 1, the investor would upgrade to Buy.
MicroStrategy (MSTR) jumped over 26% after a Q4 loss that analysts say was largely non-cash and Bitcoin-related, not a sign of business weakness. They note the company’s substantial Bitcoin holdings, no debt triggers forcing sales, and maintain Buy ratings with an average target near $378; some analysts even factor Bitcoin’s upside to about $225,000 by year-end 2026, reflecting continued bullish sentiment despite the headline loss.
Bitcoin stabilized near $69k after a dip to about $60k, triggering a rally in crypto stocks as Strategy (MSTR) rose about 18% to roughly $126.60 despite its BTC treasury being underwater, BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) jumped around 14% to about $19.83 on ETH staking plans amid a large unrealized ETH loss, and Coinbase (COIN) gained roughly 10% to around $160.60 as higher volatility boosted trading volumes and revenue.
Risk appetite across Wall Street has cooled as investors retreat from crowded trades in tech stocks, gold, and cryptocurrencies amid valuation concerns and worries about AI disruption and policy risks; the selloff spilled into indices, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq down, Bitcoin dropping about 13% to around $63,000, and Amazon’s plans to spend heavily on data centers and chips adding to investor caution about AI investments and stretched valuations.
Bitcoin’s price slipping below Strategy’s average cost basis near $76,000 creates a near-term psychological hurdle for the stock, but the piece argues this is a structural reset rather than a disaster. Strategy has a modular capital stack—issuing stock above NAV and a suite of perpetual preferreds (STRC, STRF, STRK, STRD)—plus about $2.25 billion in cash, which cushions dilution and funds ongoing Bitcoin acquisitions. With a Strong Buy consensus and substantial upside if crypto recovers, the long-term bull case remains intact despite near-term volatility.
MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, posted a $12.4 billion net loss for Q4 2025 as Bitcoin fell more than 40% from its all‑time high; revenue rose to $123 million, cash on hand was $2.3 billion, and the company’s 713,502 BTC holdings are worth about $60 billion but remain underwater given an average purchase price around $66,385. Despite the hefty loss, analysts rate MSTR as a Strong Buy with a target near $388, suggesting upside as crypto markets potentially recover, even as the stock has halved amid the downturn.
Strategy (MSTR) slides about 5% ahead of its Q4 report as Canaccord trims its price target by 60% to $185 while maintaining a Buy rating; analysts expect Q4 revenue near $119.1 million and a small per-share loss, with Bitcoin weakness weighing on the crypto holdings. Despite the target cut, investors remain positioned for upside due to Bitcoin exposure and a manageable convertible debt load.
Bitcoin briefly slipped below MicroStrategy’s average purchase price, narrowing the cushion on Michael Saylor’s highly leveraged crypto treasury bet and highlighting growing leverage risk for the company.
TipRanks notes MicroStrategy (MSTR) continues aggressively buying Bitcoin using newly issued equity as BTC prices dip, aiming for a swift rebound. Cowen's Lance Vitanza expects BTC to reach new all-time highs around mid-2026, with end-2026 BTC near $177,000 and end-2027 around $226,000. For FY26, BTC yield is forecast at 7.1% (vs. 8.8% prior), implying about $6.3 billion in Bitcoin gains. Based on this framework, Vitanza puts a $440 price target on MSTR, about 153% upside, with a Strong Buy consensus among analysts.
