Strategy Inc., led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, has added 1,142 more Bitcoin to its holdings. The company disclosed the purchase in a Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.
According to the filing, the Bitcoins were acquired over a six-day period between February 2 and February 8, 2026. The average purchase price was $78,815 per Bitcoin, including fees and expenses.
This latest purchase increases Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 714,644 coins. Based on the filing, the company’s total cost for all Bitcoin purchased now stands at $54.35 billion. That brings its average cost per Bitcoin to $76,056.
Funding the Purchase Through Stock Sales
The company funded this Bitcoin acquisition by selling shares of its Class A Common Stock. The filing revealed that Strategy sold 616,715 shares during the same period.
These stock sales generated $89.5 million in net proceeds, which were then used to fund the purchase of Bitcoin. This method, often called an “At-The-Market” (ATM) offering, allows Strategy to raise capital directly from the equity market.
This strategy effectively turns the company’s equity into a vehicle for Bitcoin accumulation. Though it results in shareholder dilution, the approach is based on a belief in Bitcoin’s long-term growth. Michael Saylor has previously described this model as generating a “BTC yield.”
Holding Strong Despite Market Downturn
Bitcoin has recently experienced a price decline. At the time of the filing, the cryptocurrency was trading in the high $60,000s. This puts Strategy’s average purchase price above the current market value.
As a result, the company is currently holding billions in unrealized paper losses. However, there are no indications that Strategy plans to sell its holdings. The company appears committed to its strategy, continuing to acquire Bitcoin even during market drops.
Saylor has remained vocal about his support for Bitcoin, often emphasizing its role as a long-term store of value. The latest purchase reaffirms the company’s ongoing focus on digital assets as a core part of its treasury strategy.
Largest Corporate Bitcoin Holder Remains Committed
With over 714,000 Bitcoins, Strategy Inc. holds more Bitcoin than any other public company. This status places the firm at the center of corporate Bitcoin adoption.
The latest transaction also pushes the company’s average cost basis slightly higher. Though currently trading below the purchase price, Bitcoin’s long-term appreciation remains the company’s key expectation.
The filing did not include any statements from Michael Saylor, but his past remarks suggest no change in his Bitcoin outlook. The use of stock sales to acquire more digital assets reflects the company’s unchanged strategy.
This move shows Strategy’s continued focus on using available capital to increase its Bitcoin position. Whether Bitcoin’s price rebounds in the near term or not, Strategy appears to be staying the course.
