This new acquisition solidifies Strategy’s position as the largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin, with a growing treasury. The company has been investing in Bitcoin since its early days, and it continues to buy the asset, utilizing its stock sales as a primary funding source. The total purchase price for its Bitcoin holdings is approximately $54.2 billion, resulting in an average acquisition price of $76,037 per coin.
Sale of Stock to Fund Bitcoin Acquisition
To fund this latest Bitcoin purchase, Strategy raised $264 million through its at-the-market (ATM) offering program. This included the sale of 1,569,770 shares of its Class A common stock, MSTR, and 70,201 shares of its perpetual preferred stock, STRC. The proceeds from these sales, $257 million from the common stock and $7 million from the preferred stock, were used to acquire the additional 2,932 Bitcoin.
According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the purchases occurred between January 20 and January 25, 2026, at an average price of $90,061 per Bitcoin. Strategy maintains substantial capacity for future capital raises, with about $8.17 billion available under its common stock offering and other potential funding sources.
Strategy’s Expanding Bitcoin Holdings
With this purchase, Strategy now controls about 3.4% of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply. Its Bitcoin holdings have grown to more than 712,000 BTC, which makes up a significant portion of the company’s overall assets. At current market prices, these holdings are valued at $62.5 billion, contributing to unrealized gains of around $8.3 billion.
The decision to acquire more Bitcoin is part of Strategy’s long-term investment strategy. By increasing its Bitcoin holdings, the company aims to position itself as a major player in the digital asset space. This move also supports Strategy’s continued growth and dominance in the public market, as it aims to secure more value through its Bitcoin investments.
MSCI’s Decision on Bitcoin-Heavy Firms
Earlier this month, MSCI announced that companies with significant Bitcoin holdings, such as Strategy, would not be excluded from its major global equity indexes. This decision relieved some market pressure on Strategy, as the company had faced potential exclusion from the indexes due to its large Bitcoin assets. MSCI’s decision to allow Bitcoin-heavy companies to remain eligible for inclusion under existing rules helped avoid forced selling from passive investment funds.
The decision comes after MSCI reviewed companies with substantial Bitcoin holdings and concluded that these companies would remain in the indexes for now. Strategy and other firms in the digital asset space had pushed back against a potential reclassification that could have excluded them from the indexes, warning that this would lead to billions of dollars in forced selling.
