In MicroStrategy Bitcoin news today, Michael Saylor posted a two-word message on X on August 27, simply saying \u201cWe\u2019re Back\u201d, suggesting Strategy was returning to buying BTC, prompting traders to ask whether the company was ready to resume purchases.<\/p>\n
The post followed 10 weeks in which Strategy bought no Bitcoin. Bitcoin was trading near $79,183 at the time of writing, up 1.3% over 24 hours and above Strategy\u2019s average purchase price, but that did not confirm that the company had bought more coins.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the company\u2019s USD Reserve is intended to support preferred-share dividends and interest payments on outstanding debt.<\/p>\n Saylor\u2019s post did not resolve how Strategy would allocate its resources; transaction disclosures provide the clearer evidence. For background on how his conviction has historically translated into buying behavior, see this recent look at Saylor\u2019s holding rule<\/a>.<\/p>\n (SOURCE: CoinGecko<\/a>)<\/p>\n Strategy\u2019s official X account posted a chart on August 27 showing holdings of 840,447 BTC valued at $65.72Bn. Saylor was on X earlier in the day, posting to say that business was proceeding as usual.<\/p>\n Neither post was a transaction disclosure. Strategy\u2019s purchases and sales appear in weekly reports, and the next report was expected on Monday, August 31. Until then, the market had no confirmed data on a new purchase.<\/p>\n EXCLUSIVE: Earn $10 USDC Via Binance Sign-Up<\/span><\/a>\n<\/p>\n Strategy held roughly $6.69Bn in dollars against about $6.71Bn owed on convertible notes. The company said its US dollar assets almost entirely offset that debt, reducing net leverage to 0.1%.<\/p>\n Its USD Reserve, a cash pool intended to support dividend and interest payments, grew from $3.75Bn in July to $5.10Bn by late August. The reserve is closely tied to STRC, a preferred share designed to trade near $100 and pay a 12% dividend. STRC closed at $97.33 on August 28 after reaching a 12-month low of $71.25.<\/p>\n During the company\u2019s second-quarter results, CEO Phong Le said Strategy intended to repurchase STRC shares in a regular and disciplined manner when they traded below $100.<\/p>\n Strategy paid $400.7M in preferred-share dividends in the second quarter, and also used Bitcoin sale proceeds for STRC repurchases.

The cash build supported the reserve used for dividend payments.<\/p>\n A Strategy 8-K filed with the US SEC confirms that the company sold 1,690 BTC between August 3 and 9 for roughly $108.6M at an average price of $64,262. The filing states that the proceeds funded STRC repurchases under its Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program.<\/p>\n Strategy\u2019s average cost basis was $75,385 per coin across its 840,447 BTC as of August 9. The use of Bitcoin sale proceeds for STRC repurchases explains why Saylor\u2019s post remained ambiguous rather than confirming new accumulation.<\/p>\n For traders tracking how these mechanics ripple into spot markets, this recent BTC USD analysis<\/a> covers transaction-level pressure in greater detail.<\/p>\n EXPLORE:\u00a0Best Crypto Presales With Asymmetric Upside in the Current Market<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The post Strategy\u2019s Cash Reserve Raises the Stakes for Its Next Bitcoin Filing<\/a> appeared first on 99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In MicroStrategy Bitcoin news today, Michael Saylor posted a two-word message on X on August 27, simply saying \u201cWe\u2019re Back\u201d, suggesting Strategy was returning to buying BTC, prompting traders to ask whether the company was ready to resume purchases.
