Strategy has extended its pause on purchasing bitcoin for another week, choosing instead to focus on growing its fiat currency reserves. The update was shared by co-founder and former CEO Michael Saylor.
During this latest period, the firm increased its regular USD reserve to $5.1 billion and established an additional USD Cash reserve of $1.59 billion, adding a total of $1.9 billion to its reserves. Additionally, the company repurchased $136 million worth of STRC, with its price continuing to move closer to the $100 par level. The firm has made no bitcoin transactions since its last reported sale on August 10, when it disposed of 1,690 BTC.
The announcement follows a recent market surge that drove bitcoin prices from under $65,000 to just over $78,000. This price revival pushed Strategy's massive bitcoin holding back into profit for the first time in months. With an average accumulation price of approximately $75,400 across an investment of about $63.3 billion, the company's holdings are now valued at over $65.6 billion, recovering from an unrealized loss of more than $10 billion earlier in the year.
As of August 23, 2026, Strategy holds roughly 4% of the total bitcoin supply with near-zero net leverage.
