Bitcoin's Q3 Surge Nears 40%, Strategy Resumes Buying After Two-Month Drought
MSTR sits 96% above its 52-week low of $81.81.
Summary
Bitcoin is up 38.9% in Q3, its fourth-best third quarter ever, and Strategy has resumed buying after a two-month pause, purchasing 1,665 BTC for $142.7M last week. The rally accelerated in late August when Bitcoin reclaimed $80,000, and it topped $87,000 earlier this month. Strategy's renewed accumulation signals confidence in the rebound and directly boosts its Bitcoin holdings, which remain the core driver of its valuation. The company's Q2 was marred by an $8.2B net loss from Bitcoin impairment, so this quarter's price recovery could materially improve its Q3 results. Watch for Strategy's next weekly purchase update and Bitcoin's ability to hold above $80,000.
