Strategy increases its reserves to 850,364 bitcoins
Strategy paid $79,012 per bitcoin. According to the document submitted to the SEC on Monday, the company paid $79,012 per bitcoin. This operation adds 1,036 units to its reserve. Strategy now holds 850,364 BTC, for a total cost of 64.16 billion. Its average purchase price reaches $75,456.
These holdings represent approximately 4.05% of the maximum supply of 21 million bitcoins. This ratio measures the weight of the company among holders. L’purchase follows the acquisition of 811 BTC for $65.5 million. The company thus continues its purchases.
This progression comes as the company is carrying out several financial operations in parallel. It does not devote all its resources to purchasing Bitcoin. Part of the funds raised is also used to repurchase preferred shares. The filing details this distribution.
STRC share buybacks raise $188.3 million

The company added $13.6 million to its U.S. cash position. Since the beginning of October, STRC redemptions have reached around 1.06 billion. Over the same period, Bitcoin purchases represent 219.7 million. Strategy therefore spent almost five times as much on buybacks.
This difference highlights the weight of securities transactions in recent flows. Strategy strengthens its digital reserve and at the same time buys back its shares. These two operations mobilize significant amounts. They reflect the distinct uses of the capital raised.
Dollar reserves and stocks under surveillance
Reserves in US dollars increased from 4.79 to 4.77 billion. The company used 21.1 million to pay dividends on its preferred shares. At the same time, its cash flow in dollars increased from 132.7 to 146.2 million. This increase reaches around 10%.
These figures show several developments in the financial structure of the group. STRC redemptions are decreasing from the previous week, while bitcoin purchases continue. Dollar reserves remain high despite the payment of dividends. The company details its priorities.
In the markets, theMSTR stock fell 3% to $125 before opening Monday. The preferred stock STRC lost 0.06%at $99.7. These variations show the evolution of the two categories of shares at the start of trading. They supplement the published financial data.
Strategy should continue its trade-offs between bitcoin acquisitions, share buybacks and cash management. Its next operations will make it possible to measure the evolution of these different financial priorities.
