Strategy Spends Nearly 9 Times as Much on STRC as Bitcoin

The company funded most of the Bitcoin purchase with MSTR share sales, while preferred-share repurchases remained a larger use of capital.

  • On Monday, October 12, 2026, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor reported that Strategy Inc. held 848,250 Bitcoin and approximately $5.5 billion in U.S. dollar assets.
  • Strategy operates under a capital management framework prioritizing repurchases of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock when trading below $100, with management expanding this authorization to $2 billion in September.
  • Between October 5 and 11, Strategy repurchased approximately 1.93 million STRC shares for $192.4 million, while funding the 250 BTC purchase with $21 million from MSTR common stock sales and $500,000 in existing USD Cash.
  • Following the transactions, Strategy reported a USD Reserve balance of $4.88 billion and a separate USD Cash balance of $640.5 million as of October 11, while Saylor teased the activity on X, stating, "There's always room for more orange."
  • Because of the Columbus Day holiday on Monday, official SEC filings detailing these transactions will likely arrive after Tuesday, while Strategy continues its policy allowing flexible repurchases without a fixed expiration date.
