According to latest reports, Strategy CEO Michael Saylor posted a cryptic message on Sunday, August 9 with just "Doing ₿usiness" - fueling speculation about the company's next Bitcoin move. The timing is particularly significant as Strategy disclosed another Bitcoin sale on Monday, August 10, offloading 1,690 BTC for $108.6 million after fees, with the Bitcoin sold at an average price of $64,262. The company used the proceeds to repurchase 1.15 million STRC shares for $108.6 million, reducing its total Bitcoin holdings to 840,447 BTC. The company's public Bitcoin ledger still showed 840,447 BTC as of Sunday, meaning no additional disposal after the August 3 filing had been confirmed. The company also sold 6.59 million MSTR shares for $653.1 million during the same reporting period, with $650 million going into its U.S. dollar reserve and the remaining $3.1 million added to cash balance. This marks consecutive weeks as a net seller, with the company selling 1,638 BTC one week earlier.
According to reports from crypto.news, Strategy announced on August 5 that it has joined the Invest America Business Pledge, committing to fund Trump Accounts for the children of its U.S. workers. The company will contribute $250 annually for every eligible child under 18, regardless of the child's birth year. For children born on or after January 1, 2025, Strategy will also provide a one-time $1,000 contribution matching the U.S. government's initial deposit. The benefit will begin after final Treasury guidance and employer contribution systems become available. As reported by crypto.news, Strategy President and CEO Phong Le stated that the program could promote financial education and longer-term saving among American families, noting that "Trump Accounts and the Invest America initiative can help build a stronger financial future for America's children." The company announced the benefit internally during its quarterly Company Day and plans to provide enrollment information to employees before contributions begin.
As reported by crypto.news, Trump Accounts, formally known as Section 530A accounts, are tax-deferred individual retirement accounts for children that invest in low-fee funds tracking the S&P 500 or another index composed mainly of U.S. equities. Under the federal pilot program, U.S. citizen children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, can receive a one-time $1,000 Treasury contribution. Children must have valid Social Security numbers and an account election submitted on their behalf, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Children outside that birth window can still have Trump Accounts opened before they turn 18, although they do not qualify for the federal seed payment. According to crypto.news, contributions started July 4, 2026, with total nonexempt contributions generally capped at $5,000 yearly, while employers may supply up to $2,500 annually for an employee or dependent. Employer payments count toward the wider $5,000 ceiling but are generally excluded from the employee's taxable income.
According to crypto.news, Strategy's second quarter disclosure reveals that its Bitcoin Monetization Program allows BTC sales to fund its U.S. dollar reserve, preferred dividends, interest obligations and approved repurchases of MSTR or its digital credit securities. The authorization permits up to $1.25 billion of Bitcoin sales specifically to build the reserve, alongside additional permitted uses. CEO Phong Le stated the company's objective is for STRC preferred shares to trade between $99 and $100, with Strategy intending to repurchase STRC in a "regular and disciplined manner" while it remains below $100. As reported by crypto.news, STRC was trading around $94.60 after Friday's session, according to Strategy's own STRC information page. The company bought back 912,143 STRC shares for $81.2 million during the preceding week, leaving $785.2 million remaining under its preferred securities repurchase authorization and $1 billion available under its MSTR common-stock repurchase program. The buyback consumed most of the remaining preferred repurchase authorization, leaving $785.2 million available. In contrast, roughly $22 billion in MSTR issuance capacity remains untouched.
As reported by crypto.news, Strategy's recent disposals have marked a broader shift toward active treasury management as the company balances Bitcoin holdings, preferred dividends, cash reserves and STRC support. The change does not establish that Strategy is abandoning Bitcoin accumulation, but it does mean Saylor's traditional Sunday posts can no longer be read automatically as previews of another purchase. The next company update could settle the Bitcoin sale question, as Strategy has said its website dashboard is one of its Regulation FD disclosure channels and regularly reports Bitcoin transactions through SEC filings and its public ledger. The repair effort shows partial results, with STRC having recovered roughly 33% from its lows, though it still trades below the $100 par value. The company joins Coinbase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and other U.S. employers that have pledged contributions to the Trump Accounts program, with the Treasury Department previously naming companies including Bank of America, BlackRock, Block, Coinbase, JPMorgan Chase, Nvidia, Robinhood, and Visa as participants in the program. Following the latest transactions, MSTR closed Friday at $100.01, up 3.26%, but edged 0.21% lower in Monday's pre-market, while STRC ticked up to $95.55 in Monday's pre-market. Bitcoin traded near $65,019 on Monday, up 1.5% over 24 hours, leaving the market roughly 13% below Strategy's average purchase price.
