Catenaa, Tuesday, September 09, 2026- Strategy spent $176.3 million repurchasing 1.81 million STRC preferred shares between August 31 and September 7 while making no bitcoin trades, an SEC filing showed.
The company’s board doubled its digital credit securities repurchase authorization to $2 billion from $1 billion.
Strategy said $1.19 billion remained available under the enlarged program as of September 7. That amount accounts for repurchases already completed, including fees and expenses.
The STRC transaction was funded from the company’s USD Cash account. That balance stood at $1.44 billion after the repurchase.
Strategy separately held $5.1 billion in its USD Reserve, which supports preferred-stock dividends and interest payments.
The company neither bought nor sold bitcoin during the reporting period. Its holdings remained at 845,050 BTC, representing slightly more than 4% of bitcoin’s maximum supply.
Strategy acquired those holdings for $63.73 billion, including expenses, at an average cost of $75,412 per bitcoin.
The pause followed its purchase of 4,603 BTC for $369.7 million between August 24 and August 30.
Strategy also made no sales through its at-the-market stock program during the latest period.
STRC is Strategy’s variable-rate Series A perpetual preferred stock listed on Nasdaq. Its annualized dividend rate for September record dates is 12% on a $100 stated amount.
The latest expenditure implies an average repurchase price near $97.36 per STRC share, based on the aggregate figures in the filing.
No shares of STRF, STRK, STRD or MSTR common stock were repurchased during the week.
Strategy maintains a separate $1 billion authorization for repurchasing MSTR common shares. That entire amount remained available as of September 7.
The activity shifts the company’s immediate capital deployment toward supporting its preferred securities after its recent return to bitcoin purchases.
Strategy retains authority to resume bitcoin acquisitions, expand cash reserves or undertake further securities repurchases depending on market conditions.
