Treasury and Bitcoin Holdings Update
Strategy also confirmed that its core bitcoin strategy remained unchanged during the reporting period. The company did not purchase or sell any bitcoin and did not sell any shares under its at-the-market offering program.
As of September 7, 2026, Strategy holds approximately 845,050 bitcoin.
