Strategy has purchased another 250 bitcoin for $21.5 million, extending a four-week return to regular acquisitions as the Nasdaq-listed company continues to operate as a bitcoin treasury. The purchase was disclosed in a Monday filing, according to Bitcoin Magazine.
Bitcoin Holdings Reach 848,250 BTC
The company bought the bitcoin between October 5 and October 11. At the prices cited in the source material, Strategy’s holdings were worth $70.2 billion, making the latest transaction a further addition to one of the largest corporate bitcoin positions.
Strategy also reported spending $192.4 million to repurchase its STRC preferred stock during the period. Its common stock, traded under the ticker MSTR, was nearly 2% higher on Monday.
The latest acquisition marks the fourth consecutive week in which Strategy has bought bitcoin. Before that, the company’s purchases had become less consistent, with buying sometimes taking place sporadically or stopping for months while it worked to build a larger cash buffer.
How the Purchase Was Funded
The filing said the bitcoin purchase was funded through net proceeds from sales of MSTR stock, together with the company’s USD Cash reserve. Strategy separates that balance from its USD Reserve.
The USD Reserve is intended to support dividend payments on the company’s preferred-stock offerings and interest payments on outstanding debt. USD Cash, by contrast, is used for bitcoin purchases. The distinction provides context for how Strategy can continue acquiring bitcoin while also managing its preferred securities and debt obligations.
Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, began buying bitcoin in 2020. The company initially described the move as a way to protect shareholder value from inflation, but it has since made bitcoin accumulation the central feature of its corporate strategy.
From Software Company to Bitcoin Treasury
The company’s shares offer investors exposure to a business whose value is closely tied to its bitcoin holdings, while its preferred products are designed to provide yield. Strategy is currently focusing on products linked to its STRF, STRC, STRK and STRD preferred shares.
That transformation has produced sharply different results over different periods. MSTR is down more than 50% over the past year after bitcoin prices declined. Since Strategy began purchasing bitcoin in August 2020, however, its stock has risen by nearly 1,000%, according to the source material.
