Bitcoin has been rising during a month that has historically been bearish for the asset. Strategy, the world\u2019s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, bought 950 Bitcoin for nearly $76 million over the past week, according to its latest financial disclosure. The purchase marked the company\u2019s first Bitcoin acquisition in roughly three weeks and lifted Strategy\u2019s total holdings to 846,000 Bitcoin. It coincided with the price of Bitcoin surging more than 6% over the past 24 hours to nearly $86,000, and led to a jump in Strategy shares of nearly 9% to $167.<\/p>\n
\n
The rise in Strategy\u2019s share price was also helped by the company spending $174 million to repurchase STRC, its dividend-paying preferred shares. Strategy, led by the flamboyant billionaire Michael Saylor, is an outsize player in the Bitcoin market as it holds around 4% of the total supply.<\/p>\n
The latest rise in Bitcoin\u2019s price has extended the cryptocurrency\u2019s recovery from a yearlong bear market. Bitcoin fell as low as $58,000 in June, roughly 53% below its $125,000 price last October.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The volatility has directly affected Strategy, whose vast Bitcoin holdings have made its stock a proxy for the cryptocurrency. Saylor has long championed a \u201cnever sell your Bitcoin\u201d mantra, but in the past four months his company has sold Bitcoin four times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Bitcoin\u2019s decline squeezed the company\u2019s finances, Strategy created STRC last year to raise cash from investors for more Bitcoin purchases. The preferred shares pay investors regular dividends. As the cryptocurrency rebounded over the past month, Strategy returned to buying, making two purchases. Its latest STRC buyback also reduced the company\u2019s future payments to investors.<\/p>\n
Strategy\u2019s fortunes remain closely tied to Bitcoin\u2019s price, but its return to buying suggests the company sees enough support for the cryptocurrency\u2019s recovery to resume accumulating it, Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at the financial technology firm IG Group, told Fortune<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen you want to buy into a rising market, what August and September have given you is the potential for that to continue in a more sustained fashion. That\u2019s just what Saylor and the rest of the team really want to see,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Strategy\u2019s latest purchase was modest compared with some of its earlier acquisitions. Beauchamp said the smaller buy does not necessarily point to a particular concern, but may reflect a strategy of adding Bitcoin gradually as its price climbs.<\/p>\n
The Bessent effect<\/strong><\/h2>\nBitcoin\u2019s renewed buying pressure came in mid-August after the U.S. Treasury announced that it would double purchases of older long-term government bonds. The cryptocurrency had spent months in a downturn as investors focused on faster-moving themes such as artificial intelligence, but worries about government bonds, rising yields, and inflation revived Bitcoin\u2019s appeal as an alternative asset, Beauchamp explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou always need a narrative to kickstart something,\u201d he said. \u201cWith Bessent\u2019s moves back to treasuries, suddenly it seemed like this was sort of the dream scenario for Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n
The rally gathered pace as markets digested the Federal Reserve\u2019s latest interest-rate hike. Crypto markets have often struggled when the Fed raises rates because higher borrowing costs can reduce the money investors devote to riskier assets. When Fed Chair Kevin Warsh announced a quarter-point rate increase on Sept. 16, Bitcoin initially fell to about $75,600, erasing gains it had made earlier that month. But the decline proved short-lived, and Bitcoin soon resumed its ascent.<\/p>\n
Once the widely expected rate hike took place, \u201ca more rational approach to the future applies,\u201d with a key source of uncertainty out of the way, Beauchamp said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
