# Strategy shifts from Bitcoin accumulation to stock repurchas > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/microstrategy-enlarges-bitcoin-portfolio-with-largescale-purchases-and-a-preferredstock-capital-rais > Updated: 2026-09-11T01:45:34.000Z. Sources: 273. Developments: 91. Strategy has resumed its Bitcoin accumulation following a ten-week hiatus, purchasing 4,603 BTC for approximately $369.7 million at an average price of $80,318 per coin between August 24 and August 30, 2026. This increased total holdings to 845,050 BTC, with an aggregate average cost of approximately $75,412 per coin. The total value of the company’s Bitcoin position is estimated between $65 billion and $68 billion. CEO Phong Le defended the recent transactions as part of a ‘two-way strategy’ designed to meet capital costs and fund preferred stock dividends rather than reacting to market price. He clarified that between late June and mid-August, the company sold 6,916 BTC in four tranches at approximately $62,200 per coin. These sales were intended to strengthen the balance sheet, reduce net debt, and take advantage of lower costs for issuing shares. The subsequent repurchase of 4,603 BTC was funded by the sale of MSTR shares. During the week ending September 7, the company shifted focus from Bitcoin to repurchasing its own preferred stock. SEC filings indicate Strategy repurchased 1,810,885 STRC shares for approximately $176.3 million using its USD cash pool, targeting a $100 par value for shares trading at a discount. To support such activities, the board doubled the authorization for its digital credit securities repurchase program from $1 billion to $2 billion, with $1.19 billion remaining available as of September 7. The company maintains a $5.10 billion USD reserve for dividends and interest, alongside $1.44 billion in USD cash for broader corporate purposes. ## Claims - Strategy holds 843,775 BTC at an average acquisition cost of $75,476 per coin (total cost about $63.7 billion).
