Michael Saylor's company, Strategy, has returned to profitability regarding its significant Bitcoin holdings, thanks to a five-day rally that lifted BTC prices above its average purchase price.

The firm holds 840,447 BTC, valued at about $64.97 billion. With Bitcoin trading around $77,000, Strategy is now experiencing unrealized gains of around $1.4 billion, equating to a 2.4% increase.

This marks a dramatic turnaround from July, when Bitcoin's price dropped to about $58,000, resulting in losses of around $13 billion for Strategy's holdings. Despite the recent rally, Bitcoin's price is still significantly lower than its peak of $126,000 in October.

On Friday, Strategy's stock saw a rise of approximately 10% in pre-market trading, reaching $120, its highest point in two months.

This rebound coincides with a change in Strategy's Bitcoin treasury management. Since May, the company has sold 6,948 BTC for about $432.5 million, a shift from Executive Chairman Michael Saylor's previous "never sell" strategy.

During the week ending August 9, Strategy sold 1,690 BTC for $109 million, using the funds to repurchase its variable-rate perpetual preferred stock, which reduced its Bitcoin holdings to 840,447 BTC.

After that week, the company ceased selling Bitcoin and instead raised $334 million through sales of MSTR shares. These proceeds were allocated for preferred dividends, stock buybacks, and increasing its dollar reserve to $4.8 billion.

The recent recovery in Bitcoin prices, which surged nearly 23% over five days, is its strongest performance in months following a summer spent largely in the $60,000 range.

This rally has been further fueled by President Donald Trump's recent call for Congress to advance the Clarity Act, aimed at creating a regulatory framework for digital assets and splitting oversight between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On Thursday, CFTC Chair Michael S. Selig announced that he has instructed staff to draft rules for crypto market structure should Congress fail to pass this legislation. "If Clarity continues to stall because of Democrat obstruction, the CFTC will utilize its existing authorities to begin establishing a regime for crypto asset markets," he stated.
