Strategy Acquires 250 More Bitcoins, Total Holdings Reach 848,250 BTC
Michael Saylor's Strategy has purchased an additional 250 bitcoins for approximately $21.5 million, bringing its total holdings to 848,250 BTC.
The company also repurchased about $192 million in STRC preferred stock, holding 848,250 BTC and approximately $5.5 billion in assets as of October 11.
Previously, the holdings were around 848,000 BTC, and this increase continues its treasury strategy for Bitcoin, with an average cost of about $75,440 and a total investment of around $64 billion.
Funds for the purchases typically come from common stock ATM issuance and cash reserves, as the company continues to finance its acquisitions through equity and preferred stock instruments.
Since 2020, Strategy has established Bitcoin as a core treasury asset, holding over 4% of the total Bitcoin supply, making it one of the largest corporate holders.
This event is driven by ongoing treasury accumulation and preferred stock repurchases, with funds flowing from equity financing to Bitcoin purchases and preferred stock buybacks, benefiting Bitcoin holdings and strategy executors, while shareholders face dilution and financing costs.
The scale of the increase is relatively small compared to total holdings but maintains a continuous accumulation pace and sets a new record for holdings.

Michael Saylor and Strategy have established Bitcoin as the core asset of their corporate treasury since 2020, with a historical path that includes continuous financing through equity issuance, convertible bonds, and preferred stock to significantly increase holdings from tens of thousands to over 848,000 BTC, repeatedly emphasizing Bitcoin as digital gold and an inflation hedge.
In terms of capital strategy, the company converts ATM common stock issuance and cash reserves into Bitcoin purchases while managing its capital structure through the repurchase of STRC preferred stock, motivated by maximizing per-share Bitcoin exposure and long-term value rather than relying on traditional software business cash flow.
Similar cases include other corporate treasury attempts to shift towards Bitcoin or digital assets, with the current Bitcoin treasury model transitioning from early accumulation to a phase of scaled financing and holdings management.
Essentially, this represents a concentration of capital and a transfer of pricing power: corporate cash and equity capital are continuously converted into fixed-supply Bitcoin holdings, with the mechanism being to lock in supply shares through public market financing and accumulation, thereby binding the company's value closely to Bitcoin prices, while dilution and financing costs become the price of continuous accumulation.
