The timing placed the purchase ahead of a volatile weekend for bitcoin markets. However, the transaction represented a smaller addition than recent purchases. Strategy has remained active despite rising price swings across crypto markets.Its approach has focused on steady accumulation rather than short-term pricing.
Holdings Hover Near Breakeven After Price Decline
The latest purchase brought Strategy’s total holdings to 713,502 bitcoin. The company acquired those holdings for about $54.26 billion over several years. The average purchase price across all bitcoin stands near $76,052 per coin. Bitcoin traded just above $77,000 at the time of writing.
That price placed Strategy’s treasury slightly above breakeven levels. The weekend sell-off briefly pushed the company into unrealized losses. Bitcoin fell to about $74,500 during early Asian trading on February 1. At that level, Strategy’s unrealized losses approached $1 billion. Losses narrowed as prices recovered into the mid-$75,000 range. Estimates showed losses near $150 million after the rebound.
Capital Strategy Continues Through Equity Financing
The recent bitcoin purchase was funded through common stock sales. This approach matched Strategy’s established capital-raising structure. The company has avoided using debt for recent bitcoin acquisitions. Instead, it has relied on equity and preferred share offerings.
Strategy recently raised the dividend on its Series A preferred shares. The dividend was increased to 11.25 percent. Proceeds from preferred shares have funded over 27,000 bitcoin purchases. Those acquisitions occurred across several transactions in recent months.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has continued to guide the accumulation plan. He has signaled further purchases may occur during 2026.
Market Reaction and Broader Bitcoin Metrics
Strategy shares fell more than 7 percent in premarket trading Monday. The stock dropped to $138.49, marking a multi-year low. The decline followed bitcoin’s weekend volatility and price drop. Crypto-linked equities faced pressure across broader markets.
Bitcoin traded at $77,822 during the reporting period. Daily trading volume stood near $86 billion. The asset remained about 1 percent below its seven-day high. It also traded roughly 4 percent above its seven-day low.
Bitcoin’s circulating supply totaled 19,982,656 coins. The total supply remains capped at 21 million coins. Market capitalization stood near $1.56 trillion, reflecting a daily decline. Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of bitcoin globally.
