Strategy opens 2026 with $116M Bitcoin purchase

Strategy began 2026 by acquiring 1,283 Bitcoin for $116 million, lifting total holdings to 673,783 BTC.

The purchase was disclosed in a Monday filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Strategy said the Bitcoin was bought at an average price of about $90,000 using proceeds from its at-the-market share sale.

The company’s total Bitcoin holdings are valued at roughly $62.6 billion at an average cost basis of $75,026 per coin.

Strategy also increased its cash reserves by $62 million to reach $2.25 billion.

The cash reserve supports dividends, preferred stock obligations and interest on outstanding debt.

Michael Saylor said.

The latest acquisition follows several large Bitcoin purchases made by the company during 2025.

Strategy reported a $17.4 billion unrealised loss on its Bitcoin holdings in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The paper loss was attributed to a more than 23% decline in Bitcoin’s price late last year.

The company also recorded a $5 billion deferred tax benefit linked to the unrealised loss.

Strategy shares rose nearly 4% in pre-market trading on Monday despite being down sharply over the past year.

Strategy’s Bitcoin-focused approach has influenced other firms to adopt similar treasury strategies.

At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $93,969.96.
