Strategy Halted Its Bitcoin Buys Again Last Week\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bitcoin treasury Strategy has halted stacking sats \u2014 again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just one week after resuming its bitcoin buying following a 10-week hiatus, the Nasdaq-listed company has put its BTC purchases on hold again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, the firm continued buying back its stock, repurchasing $176 million of STRC and increasing the size of its digital credit securities repurchase program from $1 billion to $2 billion, according<\/a> to a Tuesday regulatory filing and announcement from founder and chairman Michael Saylor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strategy has repurchased $176M of $STRC<\/a> and increased the size of its Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program from $1.0B to $2.0B. As of 9\/7\/26, we hold 845,050 $BTC<\/a> and $6.5B of USD Assets. $MSTR<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/mxqv9QCRat<\/a><\/p>\n

The company still holds 845,050 bitcoins worth over $66 billion at today\u2019s prices and $6.5 billion in dollar reserves. The bitcoins were bought at an average price of $63.73 billion, according to Tuesday\u2019s filing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strategy shares (NASDAQ: MSTR) were trading more than 3% lower Tuesday morning in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company paused its bitcoin buys in June, instead focusing on building a cash buffer, buying back its stock and even sometimes selling<\/a> some of its holdings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strategy has defended its bitcoin sales, with CEO Phong Le saying<\/a> that the company now has a \u201cbullet-proof balance sheet\u201d because of the move, and that it was the \u201cright trade at the time\u201d to sell when it did.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the company\u2019s quarterly earnings in July, Strategy\u00a0posted<\/a>\u00a0a $8.22 billion loss. But Le reassured investors that the firm\u2019s current paper loss was nothing to worry about. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re the J.P. Morgan of the crypto economy, so whether we sell 1,000 Bitcoin out of 840,000 to me is irrelevant to the conversation,\u201d Le said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strategy \u2014 formerly MicroStrategy \u2014 is an enterprise software company that pivoted to buying and holding bitcoin in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It first bought the cryptocurrency to protect its shareholders from inflation. Since then, it has aggressively bought the asset and pivoted to being a bitcoin treasury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investors can now buy its shares to get heightened exposure to the cryptocurrency, or get paid a yield via its digital credit products.\u00a0<\/p>\n
