Bold Strategy Scoops Up 3,666 Bitcoin During August’s Dip to $112K
Smart money moves while others panic.
The Accumulation Play
While retail investors watched portfolios bleed, one calculated strategy loaded up on digital gold—grabbing exactly 3,666 BTC as prices tested the $112K support level. No emotion, just execution.
Timing the Market vs. Time in Market
This wasn't luck—it was algorithmic precision buying the fear others couldn't stomach. Because let's be honest, traditional finance would've held a committee meeting until the rally was already over.
Bitcoin eats 'buy the dip' for breakfast.
Strategy Sells 875 MSTR Shares to Fund Purchase
Strategy said it funded this through funds it raised from selling shares and preferred stock stock.
Between August 18 and 24, the company sold 875,301 of its MSTR shares, which brought in $309.9 million in net proceeds.
It also sold 210,100 shares of its 8% Series A Perpetual Strike preferred stock for $20.4 million, 237,336 shares of its 10% Series A Perpetual Strife preferred stock for $26.6 million, and 944 shares of its 10% Series A Perpetual Stride preferred stock for $0.1 million. The recent, filing confirmed no sales were made under its floating-rate Series A Perpetual Stretch preferred during the time
3,666 BTC Purchased in One Month
The company’s bitcoin purchase this month alone is not as much every other month. So far this month, it has bought 3,666 BTC, including the 3,081 Bitcoin reported on Monday.
This is much lower than July, when the company bought 31,466 BTC, or June, when it bought 17,075 BTC. With one week still left in August, it is uncertain if Strategy will make another large purchase or keep its slower pace.
Michael Saylor has often said he is not worried about timing the market. “I’m going to be buying the top forever. Bitcoin is the exit strategy,” the Strategy co-founder said in 2024.
The company also tracks its Bitcoin yield, a metric comparing its BTC holdings to its diluted shares. This yield reached 25.4% as of Monday and follows Strategy’s decision to raise its 2025 target from 25% to 30%. Its year-to-date Bitcoin gain now stands at 113,524 BTC, according to official company data.
