President Donald Trump’s stock accounts sold shares of Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, in June and early July. Weeks later, they bought back in, and the stock has since climbed about 83%.
A federal ethics filing posted on September 22 shows the buyback. MicroStrategy is the largest company holder of Bitcoin, so its shares tend to rise and fall with the pioneer crypto.
How Trump’s Accounts Sold, Then Bought Back
The selling started in June. The accounts sold Strategy shares on June 23 and June 24, worth $16,002 to $65,000 combined. Two days later, the stock hit $81.81 during trading, its lowest point of the summer.
The new Office of Government Ethics report covers 1,156 trades from July, according to Bitcoin Treasuries. It shows one more Strategy sale, worth $1,001 to $15,000, on July 8.
Then the buying began. The accounts bought $1,001 to $15,000 of the stock on July 24 and $50,001 to $100,000 on July 27. The form gives dollar ranges, not share counts or prices.
Strategy closed at $91.67 on July 24 and at $167.33 on September 22, according to StockAnalysis. That is the 83% gain flagged by Quiver Quantitative, which tracks politicians’ trades.

Why Strategy Stock Was Cheap in July
In July, Strategy had stopped buying Bitcoin. Its holdings sat at 843,775 BTC while it sold new shares to raise cash.
Investor interest also faded. Strategy’s own data shows its stock traded an average of $1.7 billion a day in July, the lowest of 2026. That figure was back to $3.6 billion in September.
Bitcoin has since recovered to about $86,423 per coin. MicroStrategy has resumed buying and held 846,000 BTC as of September 21.
Who Actually Made the Trades
The Trump Organization says outside firms manage the accounts.
“Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments,” CBS reported, citing the Trump Organization.
The Strategy buys are small next to the month’s total trading of $79 million to $270 million. Still, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Robert Garcia questioned the timing of Trump’s trades in an August letter.
The filing does not show whether the accounts still hold the shares. The next report will cover August.
