The purchase was funded with net proceeds from MSTR stock sales and the company's USD Cash. Leading digital asset treasury Strategy acquired 334 Bitcoin for approximately $29 million in the four days through Oct. 4, lifting its holdings to 848,000 BTC worth $73 billion, the company disclosed Monday. The firm used nearly $16 million in net proceeds from MSTR stock sales and $13 million of USD Cash to fund the latest Bitcoin purchases, which followed a 1,665 BTC accumulation by the end of last month. Advertisement Separately, Strategy repurchased 740,634 STRC shares for nearly $74 million during the period. That followed a 1.03 million-share STRC repurchase for about $103 million from Sept. 28 through Sept. 30. The company also spent more than $142 million from its USD Reserve on preferred-stock dividends and interest, leaving almost $4.9 billion in the reserve and $833 million in USD Cash as of Oct. 4.

Strategy Inc., formerly known as MicroStrategy, has significantly increased its bitcoin holdings, now totaling 848,000 BTC, while concurrently spending $176 million on STRC share buybacks. This development aligns with Strategy’s ongoing approach to accumulate bitcoin while managing its capital allocation toward its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC). The buybacks are part of a board-approved program aimed at managing the discount of STRC shares. Market observers note that Strategy’s dual approach in increasing bitcoin reserves and conducting buybacks could influence the price movements in the STRC market. Advertisement The impact of this announcement has been reflected in the market for STRC, where the probability of STRC reaching $100 by December 31 has increased. Current market pricing suggests an 85.5% likelihood of this outcome, up from 84% a day ago and 79% a week prior. This movement appears to be a response to the news of Strategy’s financial maneuvers, which may be interpreted as supportive of a YES outcome in the market. Key Takeaways The increase in Strategy’s bitcoin holdings and substantial STRC buybacks suggests continued strategic management of its assets. Market pricing reflects a growing expectation that STRC could hit $100 by December 31, with current odds at 85.5% YES. The recent developments are consistent with Strategy’s dual focus on bitcoin accumulation and managing STRC’s competitive position. What to Watch Market participants will monitor Strategy Inc.’s future announcements regarding both bitcoin acquisitions and STRC buybacks. Any further substantial bitcoin purchases or changes in the buyback approach could impact the market’s perception of STRC’s future price movements. Additionally, developments in the broader cryptocurrency market and any strategic statements from Strategy’s leadership, particularly CEO Michael Saylor, could further influence market odds.

XRP▲$1.39 has a new supply problem—or at least one on-chain metric suggests so. The XRP scarcity index on Binance has turned negative, at around -0.94 on average, its lowest reading since January 2025. The same metric was near its two-year peak just three months ago.

But the signal is nuanced, with XRP still trading around $1.50, exchange reserves well below their 2024 highs, and institutional funds holding more than a billion XRP. What has changed—and would the negative XRP scarcity index necessarily predict lower XRP prices? Related: XRP 2016 Pattern Returns: EGRAG Crypto Says $50 Could Be in Play What Is the XRP Scarcity Index? The XRP scarcity index is a metric that attempts to quantify how scarce XRP is on Binance compared with historical conditions. The basic premise is not complicated: A higher index means less readily available XRP on Binance. means less readily available XRP on Binance. A lower index means more readily available XRP on Binance. means more readily available XRP on Binance. A negative index means XRP is unusually abundant for the metric’s historical baseline. This is important because crypto on an exchange can be sold almost immediately, while XRP held in self-custody, institutional custody, or some other long-lasting wallet type is theoretically less likely to immediately enter trading. Thus, exchange liquidity plays a role in how much sell-side pressure can be immediately put on a given asset. If demand suddenly increases while very little XRP is available for sale, buyers may have to bid up prices in order to find sellers. If exchanges are already well supplied, then the same amount of demand can potentially be absorbed without as dramatic of a price increase. The XRP scarcity index attempts to capture some of that difference. Why Has the XRP Scarcity Index Turned Negative? It has turned negative in particularly quick fashion. As mentioned, the Binance XRP scarcity index rose to roughly 0.77 in July, its highest reading in about two years, before dropping below zero in early September and then falling another leg down to roughly -0.94 in late September. That is an enormous change in a short span of time. Binance XRP Scarcity Index Hits Its Highest Level Since Mid-2024 “This reflects a structural shift in the supply balance on Binance, indicating that XRP has become scarcer on the platform than in previous months. – By @ArabxChain Link ⤵️https://t.co/aeEszezA1Y pic.twitter.com/C972vs8oV6 — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) July 6, 2026 On its own, that likely means that XRP available through the exchange has become substantially less scarce. It has been borne out in recent exchange activity. CryptoQuant data showed Binance reserves averaging roughly 2.68 billion XRP in late September, roughly 2.4% above their 90-day baseline. But there is an important nuance. Those reserves are still far below their long-term peak: Binance holding more than 3.2 billion XRP in November 2024. Does a Negative XRP Scarcity Index Mean Investors Are Selling? Not necessarily. Moving XRP onto an exchange increases its potential to be sold. It does not prove that a sale has happened. Recent Binance flows demonstrate the difference. XRP deposits into Binance surged well above their recent average in September, but withdrawals also jumped substantially. As a result, Binance reserves moved far less than gross flows might suggest. That is more heavy trading and repositioning rather than a rush to sell. Imagine an exchange as a highway. A huge number of cars can enter the road during the day without the parking lot being full at midnight. The XRP scarcity index, therefore, measures an important condition but not trader intent. Read more: Ripple Brings Brazilian Fund Records to XRP Ledger in Live Regulated Market Rollout Why Has XRP Price Held Up? If XRP has become much less scarce on Binance, why has its price not collapsed? Demand has apparently absorbed much of the additional liquidity. XRP traded close to $1.50 through late September and early October even while the XRP scarcity index continued to fall. This is important: supply conditions worsened, but price resisted a sharp decline. XRP Binance Open Interest Falls 15.3% From Its Six-Month High “For now, the clearest reading is that XRP shed leverage while price held most of its gains.” – By @CryptoOnchain pic.twitter.com/HsZlH8kvbR — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) October 1, 2026 Particularly institutional demand may be a reason for that. US-listed XRP funds tracked by XRP Insights have held roughly 1.16 billion XRP in spot ETFs as of October 2. Including XRP held through the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF, the total approached 1.19 billion XRP. Flows have also been positive. XRP funds added roughly 51 million XRP during the week ending September 25. Flows slowed dramatically the following week, but total holdings remained near record levels. This creates an unusual supply-demand setup. More XRP may be readily tradable on Binance, but a substantial quantity is simultaneously held via investment products and other longer-term vehicles. The negative XRP scarcity index, therefore, is a headwind—but not necessarily a dominant force. Is the XRP Scarcity Index Bearish for XRP Price? Moderately bearish, yes. The signal removes one factor that was previously supporting the bullish XRP thesis. When the XRP scarcity index was climbing toward 0.77, the argument was simple: exchange supply was shrinking. If demand accelerated, buyers would be competing for a scarce pool of readily tradable XRP. That potential supply squeeze is now weaker. A reading near -0.94 means XRP traders should no longer assume Binance liquidity is tightening. If holders start selling aggressively, there is enough accessible supply to make that selling easier. But price depends on both sides of the equation. A negative scarcity reading that is accompanied with: Rising Binance reserves Positive exchange netflows ETF outflows Weak spot demand Falling price would be significantly more bearish. That is not the complete picture at the moment. Instead, XRP has seen higher exchange availability while its price has remained relatively stable around $1.50. That suggests buyers are still absorbing a meaningful amount of available supply. Related: Best Crypto to Invest in: Bitcoin, Ethereum or XRP? What the Latest ETF Flows Reveal What Matters More Than the XRP Scarcity Index? The index is much more valuable when paired with several other indicators. Binance XRP Reserves Watch whether reserves actually continue to rise. If Binance balances continue to climb persistently while the XRP scarcity index stays deeply negative, the bearish interpretation is stronger. More tokens would not merely be circulating through the exchange, but accumulating there. If reserves stabilize or start to decline, the negative scarcity reading becomes less threatening. Exchange Netflows Gross deposits can be misleading because large inflows may be matched with equally large withdrawals. Sustained positive netflows would suggest more XRP is entering exchanges than exiting them. That would provide stronger evidence of growing potential selling pressure. XRP ETF Flows ETFs have become a meaningful source of structural XRP demand. If ETF holdings continue to increase while exchange supply expands, institutional accumulation could absorb part of the additional liquidity. If ETF flows turn persistently negative at the same time that Binance supply rises, XRP would lose one of its strongest demand buffers. Spot Price Price itself is the final test. A deeply negative XRP scarcity index matters much more if XRP simultaneously starts breaking major support levels. If XRP continues trading around $1.50 or moves higher despite abundant Binance liquidity, the market is effectively demonstrating that demand is strong enough to absorb the available supply. What Would Turn the Signal Bullish Again? The cleanest bullish scenario would be a reversal of the XRP scarcity index followed by renewed exchange outflows. If Binance reserves begin to fall again while ETF holdings or spot buying continue to rise, XRP would face growing demand against a shrinking amount of readily tradable supply. That is the environment in which scarcity can be genuinely powerful. The opposite scenario is more concerning. If the XRP scarcity index remains deeply negative while exchange reserves rise and demand begins to weaken, XRP would face both sides of the bearish equation. For now, the market is between those extremes. What Does the XRP Scarcity Index Mean for XRP Price? The latest reading is a warning, but not a prediction. XRP has lost some of the supply-side advantage it had earlier in 2026. Binance liquidity is no longer unusually tight, and a potentially supply-driven squeeze has weakened. Yet XRP price has proven remarkably resilient. Perhaps that is the most important signal. If XRP can stay around $1.50 while the XRP scarcity index is near its lowest since January 2025, then scarcity is not necessarily the only force supporting the market. The next move will depend on whether abundant exchange liquidity turns into actual selling.
