TLDR
- Strategy bought 334 BTC between October 1 and 4 for $28.7 million, at an average price of $85,838.
- Total Bitcoin holdings now sit at 848,000 BTC, worth roughly $73 billion.
- The purchase was funded partly by selling $15.7 million worth of MSTR stock and $13 million from cash reserves.
- Strategy also repurchased 1.7 million STRC preferred shares for about $176 million.
- MSTR stock traded near $163, up about 2% on the day and 30% over the past month.
Strategy’s stock traded around $163 on Monday, up close to 2% after Michael Saylor’s firm confirmed another Bitcoin purchase. The company bought 334 BTC between October 1 and October 4 for roughly $28.7 million, paying an average price of $85,838.80 per coin.
This is one of Strategy’s smaller buys this year. It follows a 1,665 BTC purchase two weeks earlier, marking a return to buying after a pause that included some selling.
The company now holds 848,000 BTC. That stash is worth close to $73 billion at current prices. Strategy’s total cost for all its Bitcoin comes to just under $64 billion, at an average price of $75,440.70 per coin.
To fund the latest buy, Strategy sold 92,894 MSTR shares for $15.7 million. The remaining $13 million came from the company’s USD Cash reserve.
Strategy still has $18.8 billion worth of MSTR shares available for sale under its at-the-market program. The firm has leaned on these sales lately because its STRC preferred stock trades below its $100 par value, making it a less attractive funding tool right now.
STRC Buyback Continues
Strategy also bought back 1.77 million shares of its STRC preferred stock last week for about $176.3 million. Of that, $154.1 million came from the USD Cash reserve, and $22.2 million came from interest earned on the firm’s cash and short-term investments.
Strategy reports a $21 billion gain on digital assets in Q3 2026. Last week, we acquired 334 $BTC and repurchased $176M of $STRC. As of 10/4/26, we hold 848,000 BTC and $5.7B of USD Assets. $MSTR https://t.co/jvwiJahdMm

The company used another $142.5 million of its reserves to cover dividends on preferred stock and interest on its debt. As of October 4, Strategy’s USD Reserve stood at $4.88 billion, with USD Cash at $833.4 million.
STRC stock currently trades around $99, just under its $100 par value. That’s a solid rebound from its 2026 low near $74.
MSTR Performance This Year
MSTR has had a rough year overall. The stock is down 48% over the past twelve months, though it has clawed back some ground recently.
Year-to-date figures vary slightly depending on the source and timing, with some putting MSTR up around 3%, others closer to flat. Either way, the stock has rallied roughly 30% in the past month as Bitcoin has recovered.
Strategy reported a near $21 billion gain on its Bitcoin holdings in the third quarter, a direct result of the crypto rebound. That gain highlights how tightly MSTR’s fortunes are tied to Bitcoin’s price swings.
Saylor marked the occasion with his usual flair, posting a chart of Strategy’s Bitcoin acquisitions to X with the caption “More orange than ever.” These posts have often lined up with purchase announcements, though the pattern hasn’t been perfectly consistent lately.
Strategy’s holdings now represent more than 4% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million coin supply cap. According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, 196 public companies now hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets in some form.
The next closest holders are Metaplanet with 44,000 BTC, Twenty One with 43,514 BTC, MARA with 35,577 BTC, and Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company with 30,021 BTC. Strategy remains far ahead of the pack in total holdings.
