Michael Saylor hinted at Strategy’s first bitcoin purchase since June 22 as bitcoin neared $79,000, up almost 1% over the past 24 hours and more than 2.5% from Friday’s low, followed by Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s hawkish Jackson Hole speech.
Strategy’s (MSTR $127.31 At close )executive chairman posted “We’re Back” on X, most likely implying that the company has purchased bitcoin for the first time in two months.
The new post comes after the bitcoin accumulation company spent the last few months, starting in May, selling some of its bitcoin stash to help bolster its balance sheet. Most recently, however, it halted the sale of its bitcoin and sold MSTR shares instead to increase its U.S. dollar reserves and began buying back its preferred stock, Stretch or STRC
Given that Strategy now has almost four years of preferred-dividend coverage, any new capital raised is likely to fund bitcoin purchases and further its STRC (preferred stock) buybacks rather than bolster its U.S. dollar reserves. Its preferred stock climbed as high as $98 on Friday, but the company will likely continue buybacks to help STRC return to $100.$MORPHO $MRNA
Strategy has not bought bitcoin since mid-June. Ten weeks of cash-building instead. $1.59B now sits in a new USD Cash pile that the 8-K says can buy BTC.
840,447 coins already on the books. Average cost $75,385. Spot is back above it.
This is the Sunday chart that used to precede a buy filing.$BTC $MIRA $DOGS

#saylorhintsstrategybitcoinbuy I bought bitcoin all the way up in 2016 and 2017 and all the way down through 2018. Plenty of those buys sat underwater for a long time. I never stopped stacking.
@saylor-1 Strategy announced 4,603 bitcoin this morning. $370M at an average of $80,318, against spot around $78,418. Red on the day it was announced, and the first purchase in 10 weeks.
That is not a Saylor story. That is Bitcoin doing to a corporation exactly what it has done to the rest of us.
And a corporation has every advantage here. A treasury desk, a board, analysts, a research budget, more information than you or I will ever see. It still couldn't pick the perfect time to buy or sell. That should be reassuring rather than funny, because it means the thing you keep failing at is not a skill you are missing.
One approach works without knowing the price in advance, and everybody who used it in 2018 is fine.
Buy what you can, on a schedule, and move it into your own custody.$RIVER $CYS $BTC
#bitcoinup23%inaugustoutperforminggoldandstocks Oriyomi Hamzat visited Oranyan Market in Ibadan on 28 August 2026 and donated building materials to traders affected by a major fire days earlier.
A fire broke out late on the night of 23 August 2026 (around 10:00–midnight) at Oranyan Market (also known as Jankara/Iso Arobo or Oniparo Market) in Ibadan North-East Local Government Area, Oyo State. It destroyed hundreds of shops estimates ranged from nearly 300 to more than 500 along with goods including jewellery, furniture, second-hand Nigerian-made clothing, and other items. No lives were reported lost, but traders lost years of stock and livelihoods. The market is a key hub for reused local garments and related trade.$FARTCOIN $DOS $SUI
1/ 📍 BTC HIT $81K TWICE IN ONE WEEK — UP 25% IN AUGUST. Bitcoin crossed $81,000 twice this week, its highest level since May, capping a +25% August rally. This breaks one of crypto's most historically bearish seasonal patterns. The bear market narrative is cracking.
2/ 📍 THE RALLY WAS BUILT ON US TREASURY BOND BUYBACKS — NOT JUST HYPE. The trigger wasn't just sentiment. The US Treasury's bond buyback announcement injected fresh liquidity into markets, weakening the dollar and pushing investors toward alternative assets. Crypto and gold moved together. The debasement trade is real and it's back.$DEXE $PRL $TUT
In an August 23, 2026 video interview with Altcoin Daily, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes recalled that in the 2008 crisis, Washington didn't bail out Bear Stearns directly — it had JP Morgan buy the bank for $2 backed by massive loans, a sweetheart deal for JP Morgan.
Lehman then failed, and regulators found they didn't really like free markets after all. Major bank CEOs trekked to Washington and walked away with roughly $700 billion in taxpayer money, while Goldman bankers kept their bonuses and ordinary people lost their homes. He argues the U.S. broke its promise of sound money in the bailout — and Bitcoin was born as a response to that broken trust.$TNSR $CFG $4
