Strategy Raises Bitcoin Treasury to 848,000 BTC

The company disclosed a 334‑coin Oct. 1–4 purchase and a roughly $21 billion Q3 unrealized gain that underscore how bitcoin price swings shape its funding choices.

Overview

  • Strategy disclosed Monday that it bought 334 BTC between Oct. 1 and Oct. 4, taking its reported holdings to 848,000 coins.
  • The latest purchase was funded with $15.7 million of net proceeds from MSTR common‑stock sales and about $13 million drawn from USD cash balances.
  • Strategy repurchased roughly $176.3 million of its variable‑rate STRC preferred shares during the same reporting window as part of an ongoing buyback program.
  • The company reported an estimated $20.9–$21.0 billion unrealized Q3 gain on its digital assets while its aggregate bitcoin cost basis is about $75,440 per coin and market value is roughly $72 billion.
  • Strategy says it holds about $4.88 billion in a USD reserve and $833 million in USD cash, retains large ATM issuance capacity, and faces the balance‑sheet challenge of funding preferred dividends and liquidity needs while continuing to accumulate bitcoin.
