Summary of Recent Acquisition
Strategy, under the leadership of Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, has announced the acquisition of an additional 22,305 Bitcoin (BTC). This latest purchase brings the company's total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive 709,715 BTC. The acquisition was executed at an average cost of $75,979 per BTC, representing an investment of $53.92 billion in Bitcoin as of January 2026.
Company's Strategic Shift to Bitcoin
Founded in 1989, Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has strategically embraced Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset. This significant shift in corporate strategy began in 2020. Under Saylor's guidance, the company has diligently worked to become the largest public holder of Bitcoin. Its acquisitions have been primarily financed through the sale of company stock and the issuance of debt.
Funding Sources for Bitcoin Purchases
The most recent Bitcoin acquisition by Strategy was financed with $2.13 billion. This funding was derived from two main sources: the sale of 10.4 million Class A common shares, which generated $1.83 billion, and the sale of 2.95 million Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock shares, contributing $294.3 million. There were no reported grants or explicit institutional involvements in this specific purchase, though it is noted that BlackRock has been actively monitoring Strategy's credit structure.
This latest purchase is part of a continuing pattern of acquisitions. Strategy previously acquired 1,283 BTC for $115.97 million on January 4, followed by 13,627 BTC for $1.25 billion on January 11. Additionally, the company acquired over 14,910 BTC earlier in January 2026. These consistent acquisitions underscore Bitcoin's growing importance as a reserve asset for the company, even amidst periods of market fluctuation.
Current Valuation of Bitcoin Holdings
The current valuation of Strategy's substantial Bitcoin holdings now exceeds $63 billion. This figure is based on the prevailing market price of Bitcoin, which is approximately $92,600 per BTC. The company's disclosures have not indicated any involvement with other cryptocurrencies, nor have they reported any changes in total value locked (TVL), liquidity shifts, or staking activities related to their primary Bitcoin holdings.
Despite the significant value of its Bitcoin reserves, Strategy's stock price has experienced downward pressure. This is attributed to concerns surrounding its debt obligations, which are scheduled to mature between 2027 and 2028. Nevertheless, the company has consistently reiterated its strong commitment to Bitcoin as a foundational strategic asset within its corporate treasury.
