Strategy ( NASDAQ:MSTR ), the software company that executive chairman Michael Saylor turned into the world's largest corporate Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) holder, disclosed on August 31, 2026, that it bought 4,603 bitcoin at $80,318 per coin in the week of August 24 to 30, lifting its total position to 845,050 BTC.
It was Strategy's first Bitcoin purchase in about 10 weeks, after the company sold roughly 7,000 BTC between June 30 and August 10 for between $59,000 and $64,000 per coin.
Bitcoin trades around $78,000 today, below the $80,318 price Strategy paid on August 31. That puts the latest purchase underwater on paper, with the coins currently worth less than the company paid for them. So did Saylor buy near the top, or is he simply sticking to the strategy he has followed all along?
