Shares of Strategy (MSTR) experienced a decline of approximately 4.2% to $138.74 on September 4, occurring alongside the company’s announcement that it had resumed Bitcoin accumulation following an extended 10-week break.

During the trading session, the stock fluctuated between a low of $135.41 and a peak of $144.39, with trading volume reaching approximately 26.3 million shares. The stock has experienced a 56% decline over the trailing 12-month period.
The company acquired 4,603 BTC during the week spanning August 24 through August 30, deploying approximately $369.7 million at an average acquisition price of $80,318 per Bitcoin. The transaction was formally disclosed through an SEC filing dated August 31.
This acquisition expanded Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury from 840,447 BTC to 845,050 BTC. The company’s cumulative investment in Bitcoin now totals $63.73 billion, representing an average entry price of $75,412 per coin.
<a href="https://knockoutstocks.com/stock/MSTR" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Strategy</a> funded this recent acquisition through the sale of MSTR common stock, which generated approximately $602.8 million in net proceeds throughout the period. Additionally, the company allocated $151.8 million toward repurchasing STRC preferred stock and supplemented its unrestricted cash reserves by $30 million.

CEO Phong Le explained that the company’s Bitcoin acquisition strategy focuses on cost of capital considerations rather than strictly timing price movements, indicating that purchasing at $80,000 can be strategically sound even following earlier transactions near $60,000.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor utilized social media platforms to address the topic of Bitcoin advocacy. “In America, you don’t need a license to discuss Bitcoin, advocate for it, or publicly recommend owning it,” Saylor posted on September 4.

 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 In America, you don’t need a license to discuss Bitcoin, advocate for it, or publicly recommend owning it. Bitcoin is a commodity, not a security. Fraud and manipulation are illegal. Bitcoin advocacy is free speech.
 — Michael Saylor (@saylor) <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/2095820138012447121?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">September 4, 2026</a>
 </blockquote>

Saylor further characterized Bitcoin as a commodity asset rather than a security, a classification that corresponds with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s established viewpoint. He emphasized that existing legislation already prohibits fraudulent activities and market manipulation.
The statement appeared to be general in nature and did not reference any particular legal proceeding or regulatory conflict. Saylor’s post made no mention of the pending CLARITY Act legislation.
<h3 id="senate-prepares-for-clarity-act-procedural-vote">Senate Prepares for CLARITY Act Procedural Vote</h3>
On Capitol Hill, the CLARITY Act is approaching a crucial procedural vote scheduled for September 15 at 2:15 p.m. ET. The motion requires a minimum of 60 affirmative votes to move the legislation forward to the debate and amendment stages.
With Republicans controlling 53 Senate seats, passage of the procedural motion depends on securing Democratic votes. Any divisions within the Republican conference could necessitate additional Democratic support.
The proposed legislation would establish a regulatory framework dividing digital asset oversight between the SEC and CFTC. Under this structure, digital commodities such as Bitcoin would typically fall under CFTC spot-market jurisdiction, while assets meeting investment contract criteria would remain under SEC supervision.
On September 3, the National Sheriffs’ Association shifted its stance on the legislation from opposition to neutral, eliminating one obstacle prior to the upcoming vote. NSA President Sheriff Troy Wellman and Executive Director Justin Smith communicated this position change in correspondence to Senate leadership.
Senator Cynthia Lummis expressed support for the organization’s position shift and urged Senate colleagues to advance the legislation. Congressional negotiators continue working on specific provisions addressing ethics requirements, stablecoin reward mechanisms, and liability protections for developers who do not maintain custody of user assets.
Should the Senate approve the September 15 procedural motion, the bill would still require a final passage vote, and any amendments made to the House-approved version would necessitate additional House consideration before presidential action.
