- Strategy added 196 Bitcoin last week, bringing its total holdings to 640,031 BTC worth around $71.8 billion.
- The company used preferred stock programs to fund purchases, showing a shift from common stock-based funding.
- Strategy stock fell to $300 despite long-term gains showing market caution amid slower Bitcoin buying.
Strategy Inc., previously known as MicroStrategy, acquired 196 Bitcoin between September 22 and 28. The company spent around $22.1 million on the purchase. This acquisition raised its total Bitcoin holdings to 640,031 BTC. According to an SEC filing on Monday, the coins were bought at an average price of $113,048. Despite recent price dips, Strategy continued to expand its Bitcoin position.
The company’s total investment in Bitcoin now stands at approximately $47.35 billion. This figure includes all acquisition costs and fees. With Bitcoin trading above $113,000, Strategy’s holdings are now valued at about $71.8 billion. This gives the company unrealized gains of around $24.4 billion. Its Bitcoin position now represents over 3% of the total supply of 21 million coins.
Slower Pace as Strategy Shifts Funding Sources
Recent data shows a slowdown in Strategy’s Bitcoin purchases. The company acquired 850 BTC for $99.7 million just a week earlier. However, the pace of buying has declined in recent weeks. The company now relies more on its preferred stock programs to raise funds.
These preferred stocks—STRK, STRC, STRF, and STRD—have at-the-market programs worth a combined $31.5 billion. They support Strategy’s “42/42” plan to raise $84 billion for Bitcoin purchases by 2027. This new target doubles the earlier “21/21” strategy. The company’s shift away from its common stock (MSTR) sales reflects a new funding focus.
Stock Performance Remains Volatile
Strategy’s common stock has remained mostly flat this year. It has gained only around 2% since January. MSTR peaked at $455 earlier this year but recently dropped to $300.7. This marks the lowest level since mid-April. In April, MicroStrategy acquired 6,556 BTC for $555.8M, boosting its total BTC holdings to 538,200.
Some analysts view the decline as significant, considering Strategy’s strong Bitcoin exposure. However, long-term data show the stock has still surged over the past five years. It remains up 2,000% since 2020, despite recent dips. Over the past six months, MSTR has lost 2.9% in value.
Corporate Demand Continues to Grow
Bitcoin Treasuries data confirms broader corporate interest in Bitcoin. Around 180 public firms now hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Strategy remains the largest holder, far ahead of others like MARA and Metaplanet. In April, MicroStrategy and Metaplanet secured over $5.1 billion in Bitcoin gains as BTC price rallied past $95,000 in 2025.
Other major holders include companies backed by Tether and Cantor Fitzgerald. But these firms did not report any new purchases in the last week. The fact that strategy accumulation has continued indicates that the corporation still has long-term confidence in the potential of Bitcoin.
