Strategy has acquired 855 BTC at around $75.3 million at an average price of $87,974 per BTC between Jan. 26 and Feb. 1, according to an 8-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday. The filing has confirmed the latest move in the company’s ongoing accumulation of Bitcoin.
Strategy now holds 713,502 BTC with a value of around $56 billion at current market prices. The average price paid by the company for the BTC is around $76,052 per BTC.
The total cost of the BTC acquired by the company is around $54.3 billion, including fees and expenses, according to Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
Strategy’s Gains Shrink as Bitcoin Falls Below $76,000
The BTC acquired by the company represents more than 3.4% of the fixed supply of 21 million BTC. The price decline has reduced the gain in the company’s BTC holdings to around $1.2 billion.
The decline in the price of BTC below $76,000 on Monday has caused the company’s BTC holdings to fall into an unrealized loss position for the first time since October 2023.
The acquisition has been financed through at-the-market sales of MSTR Class A common stock. The company sold 673,527 shares last week at around $106.1 million. The company has around $8.06 billion in shares available at current prices for issuance under the existing program.
No perpetual preferred stock has been issued in the period. The filing indicates that the acquisition solely utilized proceeds from common stock. The company has not issued any further financing transactions in the last week.

Saylor had hinted at the purchase one day prior to the filing. Saylor had posted “More Orange” on the Bitcoin tracker for Strategy on Sunday. His post had reflected the series of weekly purchases announced since late December.
Strategy Extends Six-Week BTC Buying Streak
This was the sixth consecutive weekly purchase for the company. In total, they had acquired 22,305 BTC for approximately $2.13 billion during this period. It marked the largest multi-week acquisition for Strategy since July 2025.
The purchase had also reflected a sharp market decline. Bitcoin had dropped to $75,000. It marked the first time that Bitcoin had traded below the average purchase price for Strategy since 2023. The decline had also led to an unrealized loss for the company of about $900 million.
However, Bitcoin had recovered to trade at over $76,000 on Monday. The recovery had eased some pressure for Strategy’s average cost. Market volatility remains a major influencer for the value of its assets.
Speculation had also arisen about whether the company would sell its Bitcoin. Polymarket data shows that Strategy had only a 29% chance of selling any BTC before year’s end.

The shares for MSTR had also declined as a result of Bitcoin’s decline. Yahoo Finance data shows that the stock is trading at $139. The shares had declined by 7.47% from last week’s closing price at $150.
