Strategy is keeping share repurchases secondary while it builds liquidity, supports STRC and manages its bitcoin-linked balance sheet. Michael Saylor said MSTR buybacks remain possible if shares trade at a very deep discount to net asset value.

Strategy raised $333.7 million through a common-stock sale and used the proceeds to repurchase STRC, pay dividends and expand its U.S. dollar reserve. The company made no bitcoin purchases or sales, leaving its holdings unchanged at 840,447 BTC.

Bitcoin remained on the defensive after BTC/USD fell to 63,043, its lowest level since August 3. Technical traders are watching whether the pair extends toward 60,000 or recovers above the 50-day moving average near 65,000.

Bitcoin’s BIP 110 episode has become a live demonstration of permissionless market choice, with the forked chain stalling after two blocks while the original network continued without disruption. BTC remains near $65,000 as traders watch consolidation signals and await US inflation data that could shape the next move.

Bitcoin has entered the mandatory signaling period for BIP-110, a controversial soft fork proposal aimed at limiting non-financial data on the network. Miner support remains far below the required threshold, while supporters are framing the effort as a user-activated push led by node operators.

Bitcoin’s BIP-110 proposal is moving toward a key activation window despite negligible public miner signaling. The user-activated soft fork debate is becoming a broader test of who coordinates Bitcoin rule changes: miners, nodes, exchanges, or users.

Strategy is publicly monitoring Bitcoin’s 200-week moving average and the cryptocurrency’s premium or discount to that level. The focus comes as Bitcoin trades near the historically important long-term trend line, with market participants watching whether support holds.

Strategy reported a second quarter net loss of $8.2 billion as bitcoin weakness triggered a major unrealized markdown on its holdings. The company also highlighted a $3.75 billion U.S. dollar reserve, selective bitcoin sales and plans to develop its Digital Credit business.

Michael Saylor is pushing back against Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110, arguing that a temporary clampdown on arbitrary data would undermine Bitcoin’s neutrality. The proposal’s lower miner-signaling threshold and consensus-level restrictions have intensified debate over censorship, fees and the network’s long-term identity.

Bitcoin’s BIP-110 proposal sought to temporarily restrict certain non-financial data on the blockchain, but it instead became a major test of Bitcoin governance. With limited miner backing and sharp criticism from prominent industry voices, the proposal now appears unlikely to move forward.

Bitcoin’s controversial BIP 110 proposal is approaching an early August deadline with miner support at zero in the current signaling period. The plan seeks to restrict arbitrary data on Bitcoin for one year, but prominent critics argue it could turn a spam dispute into a damaging consensus battle.

Bitcoin continued its rebound toward the psychological 64,000 area despite Strategy announcing its biggest Bitcoin sale and spot Bitcoin ETFs extending outflows. Technical traders remain cautious, with 60,000 seen as a key support area and 68,000 viewed as the main upside level in the near term.

Michael Saylor signaled that Strategy may keep adding to its bitcoin position after posting fresh figures on the company’s massive BTC stash. The update comes as Strategy shares remain under pressure from funding and dividend concerns.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said he remains bullish on bitcoin, but he argued Michael Saylor’s preferred-share funding approach has hurt the broader crypto market. He pointed to Strategy’s STRC preferred stock sliding to a record low as evidence that the model is under mounting strain.
