Strategy Adds 1,229 Bitcoin in $109 Million Stock-Funded Buy, Lifting Holdings to 672,497 BTC

The equity-funded purchase highlights a playbook under pressure from dilution, a shrinking stock premium to bitcoin holdings, MSCI index-eligibility scrutiny.

Overview

  • Strategy funded the latest purchase by selling about 663,450 Class A shares via its at-the-market program for roughly $109 million, with no preferred issuance reported for the week.
  • The company paid an average of $88,568 per coin and now holds 672,497 BTC acquired for about $50.44 billion, while reporting a 23.2% Bitcoin Yield for 2025.
  • Management recently expanded a U.S. dollar reserve to roughly $2.2 billion to cover preferred dividends and interest after briefly pausing buys to bolster liquidity.
  • Shares have fallen sharply in 2025 and the company’s market capitalization sits below the market value of its bitcoin holdings, reflecting investor concerns over dilution and leverage.
  • Research reports that 2025 purchases totaled roughly 223,800–225,000 BTC, outpacing post‑halving miner issuance, as MSCI’s consultation on index eligibility for digital-asset treasuries runs into mid‑January 2026 and critics such as Peter Schiff question returns and funding.
