It bought 4,603 BTC at US$ 80.318 each, after spending the entire bottom period selling.
In August, between days 3 and 9, the company sold 1,690 BTC at US$ 64.262. Three weeks later it repurchased at US$ 80.318. It sold at the bottom and bought 25% higher.
The cash it had been accumulating during the downturn was used now, with the price US$ 16 thousand above where it entered the position.
The purchase was funded through share issuance via ATM, and the company also repurchased US$ 152 million in STRC, zeroing out net leverage.
In 1991, the US spent 18.4% of federal revenue just on interest, and the 30-year bond paid 8%.
Today, the spending is 18.5%, with the bond paying 5.21%.
The same weight of interest with a rate almost 3 percentage points lower means that the debt stock became so much larger that cheap interest hurts just as much as expensive interest did three decades ago.
Annual interest spending hit US$ 1.25 trillion, more than 4 times the 1991 level.
And that percentage of revenue has more than quadrupled just in the last 4 years.
There is no world for prolonged hiking. It’s simply a question of math.
This is the biggest debt crisis the fiat currency has ever experienced. And I hope you know what that means.
In July’s PCE, US inflation held steady at 3.7%, above the expected 3.6%. 🚨
Core inflation remained flat at 3.3%, in line with expectations.
On a monthly basis, both the headline index and core rose 0.2%.
Prices for goods fell 0.1% in the month, driven by a 2.7% drop in gasoline and energy. Services rose 0.3%, with an increase of 1.2% in financial services and insurance.
Personal income rose 0.4% and consumer spending advanced 0.2%, but in real terms consumption was virtually stagnant, up less than 0.1%.
No signs of a strong “inflation surge,” as many believed it would force the FED’s hand.
ETFs and short-term investors managed to sell most of the $60k region.
A clear capitulation zone.
Coinbase’s dominance emerged during the same period that the premium went negative, signaling that traditional finance capitulated at the exact bottom.
China bought more than double the amount of gold it officially reported in May and June. 🚨
And the official data already shows a historical record for reserves.
According to estimates from Goldman Sachs via the London OTC market, China bought about 48 tonnes in May and 40 tonnes in June.
The PBoC officially reported only 15 and 10 tonnes in the same months—less than half of what independent estimates indicate.
In July, the Chinese central bank declared another 20 tonnes, bringing the official total reserves to 2,366 tonnes—about 8% of foreign exchange reserves, near an all-time high.
Even this official figure, which is already a record, likely understates the real position.
The race for scarce assets keeps accelerating—and the reflection of that in prices will come eventually.
Every background region becomes clear in hindsight. Will we go back to that same background region again? I don’t know—nobody knows.
Now many people are clinging to any information that might point them to a "new opportunity" to get into $60k.
The price spent about 72 days in a region near $60k. SEVENTY-TWO DAYS.
But only now that it’s at $80K, these investors want a return back to $60k in order to buy.
If it returns, they’ll wait for it to reach $40K because "it could drop a little more."
And the psychological cycle restarts.
When this crowd capitulates—when those so-called "analysts" start saying "BULL MARKETTT (rocket little)" again—that will be the time for caution. The time for patience.
But be careful when trying to hit the bullseye. Most people miss and end up buying more expensively again because they chose to set the day, hour, and price to buy instead of accumulating patiently and consistently at low prices.
