Strategy Inc.: Strategy Adds 4,603 BTC After 10-Week Pause

4,603 BTC moved onto Strategy Inc.’s balance sheet in the week ended August 30. The company paid 369.7 million dollars at an average of 80,318 dollars per coin including fees, according to the Form 8-K filed Monday, August 31. Holdings rose to 845,050 BTC.

Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark) and David Chaboki (Shibo) opened Labor Day discussing the filing with the Doginal Dogs community, framing the add as separate from any prior Knots testing activity. The move marks the first weekly accumulation after roughly ten weeks without purchases.

Purchase Details and Funding

Strategy financed the buy primarily through at-the-market sales of MSTR shares that generated 602.8 million dollars in net proceeds during the same week. Of that total, 369.7 million dollars went to BTC, 151.8 million dollars funded repurchases of 1,557,177 STRC shares, and 50.7 million dollars covered preferred dividends. Another 30 million dollars stayed in USD cash.

Aggregate cost basis for the full 845,050 BTC stack sits at 63.73 billion dollars, or 75,412 dollars per coin. USD Reserve reached 5.10 billion dollars while USD Cash stood at 1.61 billion dollars as of August 30. Remaining capacity includes 364.8 million dollars for preferred repurchases and 1 billion dollars for MSTR buybacks.

Leverage and Metrics Update

Net leverage printed at 0.0 percent after the transactions. USD Duration lengthened to 4.0 years, up 23 days, while STRC’s BTC Credit tightened three basis points to 56 bps. Michael Saylor posted on X that Strategy acquired the coins, increased USD Cash by 29 million dollars, and repurchased 152 million dollars of STRC.

The filing was signed by Thomas C. Chow, EVP and General Counsel. It covers activity strictly between August 24 and 30 and stands apart from the prior week’s zero-purchase report that listed 840,447 BTC.

Market Context

Spot BTC traded near 78,390 dollars on the morning of the filing, off roughly 0.2 percent in the prior 24 hours. The 80,318 dollar average paid by Strategy reflects a modest premium to prevailing levels. The addition lifts corporate holdings after the June high of 845,256 BTC and signals renewed accumulation funded by equity issuance.

Allocation Breakdown

Weekly proceeds of 602.8 million dollars were split across four buckets. Bitcoin received the largest share. STRC buybacks came next. Dividends and cash reserves absorbed the balance. This mix strengthened both the BTC stack and the preferred equity structure in one filing cycle.

The report shows Strategy executed the buys while maintaining 5.10 billion dollars in designated USD reserves. Cash on hand rose to 1.61 billion dollars. Those figures provide a buffer for continued operations and future allocations without immediate pressure on leverage ratios.

Summary of Holdings

Post-purchase stack stands at 845,050 BTC valued at 63.73 billion dollars on an aggregate cost basis. The single-week addition of 4,603 coins reverses the prior ten-week pause. Capacity remains for additional share sales and buybacks under existing programs.

The 8-K provides a clear ledger of inflows and outflows for the period. No other on-chain or Knots-related activity appears in the disclosure. Focus stays on the BTC purchase and the accompanying capital actions that funded it.
