Previously, at the end of March, the company also bought for 3 consecutive weeks but stopped after the round of 1.92 billion USD due to concerns over Trump's tariff policies.

This purchase occurred when Bitcoin traded above 100,000 USD (currently 104,000 USD), rising 11% in 7 days, surpassing the ATH threshold for the first time after 3 months of volatility. Altcoins are also thriving, with Ethereum rising 40% thanks to the Pectra upgrade (07/05). The market is supported by the Fed maintaining interest rates (08/05) and the government $TRUMP reducing trade tensions: tariffs with China decreased from 145% to 30% within 90 days, along with a comprehensive trade agreement with the UK.
