Strategy Inc filed a Form 8-K with a Date of Report of 8 September 2026, announcing that from 31 August to 7 September 2026 it did not sell any shares under its at-the-market offering program and did not purchase or sell any bitcoin, the SEC filing shows.
Holdings unchanged
As of 7 September 2026, Strategy holds approximately 845,050 bitcoin acquired at an aggregate purchase price of $63.73 billion and an average purchase price of approximately $75,412 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses — unchanged on the week.
The pause follows a prior window of 24–30 August in which Strategy resumed weekly buys with 4,603 BTC.
Preferred buyback authorization doubled
On 8 September 2026, the board approved an increase in the Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program from $1.0 billion to $2.0 billion (inclusive of commissions, fees, expenses, and prior repurchases). As of 7 September, $1.19 billion aggregate purchase price remained available under that program.
STRC repurchase
During 31 August–7 September, Strategy repurchased 1,810,885 shares of Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) for an aggregate purchase price of $176.3 million. No STRF, STRK, STRD, or MSTR common were repurchased in the period. The company used $176.3 million of USD Cash to fund the STRC repurchases.
Cash and reserve
As of 7 September 2026, USD Reserve stood at $5.10 billion and USD Cash at $1.44 billion.
Democrats are pushing a CLARITY Act provision directing regulators to set conflict-of-interest standards for vertically integrated crypto firms, citing FTX/Alameda-style structures, while Republicans warn the language could be weaponized by a future Democratic president. Sen. Cory Booker is negotiating wording with Sens. Lummis and Boozman ahead of next week’s cloture vote. Ethics language and bank opposition to stablecoin yield remain open.
Nasdaq is investing $100 million in Payward, the parent of crypto exchange Kraken, through its venture arm, valuing the company at $21 billion, according to Bloomberg via Wu Blockchain. The capital injection deepens a March strategic partnership aimed at tokenized-equities trading, settlement, and custody infrastructure.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the Senate to advance the CLARITY Act, warning that walking away would forfeit enhanced crypto national-security tools and signal the U.S. is ceding digital-asset leadership. The Sept. 15 vote is cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3633 — it needs 60 votes and is not final passage. The tone shifts from July’s market-structure urgency to a national-security frame.
