DescriptionStrategy (MSTR) held 840,447 BTC as of Aug 16, 2026, but has stopped buying bitcoin — in mid-August it raised ~$334M by selling MSTR shares (not to buy BTC) to fund STRC preferred dividends, buy back STRC and build a ~$4.8B USD reserve. It made no bitcoin purchases or sales that week, and with its market-to-net-asset-value ratio (mNAV) well below 1x, accretive equity-funded bitcoin buying is difficult. Bulls expect the buying flywheel to resume; bears say it is broken. This event resolves YES if Strategy officially discloses acquiring any additional bitcoin (an increase in its total BTC holdings resulting from a purchase) via an SEC 8-K filing or its official weekly treasury update dated on or before 2026-09-17 23:59 UTC. This event resolves NO if no bitcoin purchase is disclosed by the deadline.
- 1. Specificity: Any officially disclosed bitcoin purchase by Strategy of any size counts as YES, regardless of funding source (equity, debt, or USD reserve).
- 2. Exclusion: Bitcoin sales, price-driven changes to USD value of holdings, bitcoin moved between Strategy's own wallets/custodians, or verbal statements/intentions to buy without an actual disclosed acquisition do NOT count.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: Strategy's official SEC 8-K filings priority. Strategy's official weekly treasury/investor updates secondary. Reputable financial press (e.g. The Block, Decrypt) tertiary.
- 4. Timing: The purchase disclosure must be dated before 2026-09-17 23:59 UTC. Any disclosure after the deadline resolves NO.
- 5. Cancellation Rule: This concerns a corporate action, not a content/feature addition. YES requires an actual disclosed BTC purchase, not merely an announcement of intent to buy. If bitcoin is purchased and later sold before the deadline, it still resolves YES based on the first disclosed purchase.
