Strategy Buys 4,603 BTC After 10-Week Pause
Bitcoin (BTC)

According to cryptocurrency.com.tr, Bitcoin treasury Strategy has resumed its Bitcoin accumulation following a ten-week hiatus. The company announced on Monday that it purchased 4,603 bitcoins for a total of $369.7 million between August 24 and August 30. This acquisition brings the average cost per coin to $80,318.
The buying activity marks a shift from June, when Strategy paused purchases to build a cash buffer and repurchase its own stock. Strategy CEO Phong Le stated that the firm is evolving from one-way capital issuance to active capital management. He explained that the company intends to issue securities when capital is attractive and repurchase them when buybacks are accretive.
This flexibility aims to create shareholder value and improve corporate performance. The move signals a return to direct Bitcoin accumulation after a period of strategic cash building.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for BTC, measured when this story was written up on 31 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows Bitcoin trading at $77,682.00 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 51.4% and a 4-hour ratio of 52.0%. These short-term metrics indicate a slight edge for buyers compared to the 24-hour buy ratio of 47.5%. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing positive inflows of over $13.6 million over 4 hours, contrasting with a $35.6 million outflow over 24 hours. The buy ratio represents the proportion of volume driven by buyers versus sellers, while volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell pressure. Positive delta suggests that buying pressure is currently building in the short term despite the longer-term outflow.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.7% sits at the 18th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - weaker buying than most days.
