Strategy Focuses on STRC Buybacks Rather Than Bitcoin Purchases This Week

Strategy has refrained from purchasing additional Bitcoin this week, following an outlier acquisition made last week by the corporate holder. Former CEO Michael Saylor announced on X that the firm has repurchased another $176 million worth of STRC.

Along with the STRC repurchases, the company increased the size of its recently launched Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program from $1 billion to $2 billion. According to the update, Strategy holds 845,050 BTC alongside $6.5 billion in USD assets.

Despite a minor price correction over a 24-hour period, Strategy's Bitcoin position remains in green territory. With the crypto stash acquired at an average price of $75,412 per unit and a trading price of $78,200, the firm holds an unrealized profit exceeding $2 billion.

Strategy's previous purchase last week drew attention from the crypto community because it occurred at prices above $80,000, following earlier sales completed when the asset fell near $62,000.

Meanwhile, the STRC repurchase program has supported the recovery of the underlying shares. Although shares designed to trade at a $100 par level dropped to $75 earlier in the summer, they rebounded to nearly $98 as of Friday's close, remaining just below the $100 par mark.
