Aug 24, 2026By ClusterWire.news· AI-assisted news brief

Strategy reported selling 18.26 million MSTR shares for $2.01 billion in net proceeds between August 17 and 23, and it created a new “USD Cash” pool funded by those proceeds for flexible Bitcoin treasury purposes, including potential BTC purchases, debt service, and share repurchases [1].

According to reporting, Strategy repurchased $136.4 million of STRC preferred shares out of the MSTR-sale proceeds, and it added $300 million to its existing USD Reserve while establishing the “USD Cash” pool [1].

Multiple outlets reported that Strategy’s USD Reserve rose to $5.10 billion and that the new USD Cash pool is $1.59 billion following the MSTR sales and related allocations [1] [2].

Several reports said Strategy did not make Bitcoin purchases during the week and had paused BTC buying while maintaining its Bitcoin holdings (Crypto Briefing cited holdings at 840,447 BTC) [3] [4] [5].
