<\/div>\n

Strategy (MSTR), the world\u2019s largest publicly traded corporate holder of bitcoin, has added another major tranche of BTC to its balance sheet, purchasing 22,305 bitcoin for approximately $2.13 billion over the past week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acquisition, disclosed today, was made at an average price of roughly $95,284 per bitcoin, roughly 4% more than current prices. As of Jan. 19, 2026, Strategy now holds a total of 709,715 BTC, acquired for approximately $53.92 billion at an average price of $75,979 per coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest purchase marks Strategy\u2019s largest weekly bitcoin acquisition since November 2024 and its fifth-largest bitcoin purchase announcement to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, the company has continued its aggressive, near-weekly<\/a> accumulation strategy, using capital markets activity to convert traditional financial assets into bitcoin exposure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest purchase was funded through a combination of common stock issuance and sales of the company\u2019s perpetual preferred equity, Stretch (STRC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to regulatory filings, the company raised about $2.125 billion in net proceeds between Jan. 12 and Jan. 19 through its at-the-market (ATM) programs. The bulk of the funds came from the sale of 10.4 million shares of MSTR Class A common stock, generating approximately $1.83 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An additional $294.3 million was raised through the issuance of roughly 2.95 million STRC preferred shares. Smaller amounts were generated via STRK preferred stock, while no shares were issued under the STRF or STRD programs during the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the continued accumulation, Strategy shares<\/a> were under pressure in early trading, falling about 5% as bitcoin prices slid below $91,000. The pullback follows a broader crypto market sell-off after BTC traded above $94,000 late last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 709,000 bitcoin now held, Strategy controls over 3% of bitcoin\u2019s total circulating supply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several weeks ago, the company also announced<\/a> they are increasing their U.S. dollar reserve<\/a> to $2.25 billion, up from $1.44 billion in December, intended to support dividend payments on preferred shares and interest obligations on outstanding debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
