Strategy bought 1,036 Bitcoin for $81.9 million in the week covered by its Monday filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, bringing its holdings to 850,364 BTC, Cointelegraph reported on November 9, 2026.
The company paid an average of $79,012 per BTC for that purchase. Across its Bitcoin holdings, Strategy reported a total acquisition cost of $64.16 billion and an average purchase price of $75,456 per coin.
Its holdings represented roughly 4.05% of Bitcoin’s maximum supply of 21 million BTC. That measures the scale of one company’s accumulation—not growth in Bitcoin users or network activity.
Preferred-share buybacks take the larger allocation
Since the start of October, Strategy had spent about $1.06 billion repurchasing its STRC preferred shares, nearly five times the $219.7 million it spent on Bitcoin over the same period.
For the latest reported week, Strategy raised $283.8 million in net proceeds by selling about 2.05 million shares of its MSTR common stock through its at-the-market offering program. It allocated those proceeds as follows:
- $188.3 million to repurchase about 1.89 million STRC shares.
- $81.9 million to buy Bitcoin.
- $13.6 million to its USD Cash balance.
The STRC repurchases followed $208.2 million in buybacks the previous week. The latest Bitcoin acquisition followed a purchase of 811 BTC for $65.5 million that week.
Cash balances and market context
Strategy’s separate US dollar reserve declined to $4.77 billion from $4.79 billion after it drew $21.1 million to pay preferred-stock dividends. Its USD Cash balance rose about 10%, from $132.7 million to $146.2 million.
According to Yahoo Finance figures cited by Cointelegraph, MSTR fell 3% to $125 in Monday’s premarket trading, while STRC slipped 0.06% to $99.7. Those reported moves do not establish what caused the changes.
The filing documents continued corporate Bitcoin accumulation, alongside a larger allocation to preferred-share repurchases. It does not provide evidence about broader user adoption or retention.
