This acquisition further solidifies the firm’s status as the largest corporate holder of bitcoin worldwide and continues its established strategy of utilizing capital market activities to amass the digital asset.
Total Holdings Reach 687,410 BTC
As of January 11, Strategy reported total bitcoin holdings amounting to 687,410 BTC, obtained for an estimated total of approximately $51.80 billion. The company’s average purchase price across its entire portfolio is noted to be $75,353 per bitcoin, as detailed in the filing.

This latest acquisition occurs despite recent fluctuations in bitcoin prices and a broader retreat in digital asset investment products, indicating Strategy’s ongoing belief in bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset.
Purchases Funded Through Equity and Preferred Stock Issuance
The filing indicates that the bitcoin acquisitions were financed through proceeds from the sale of shares under the company’s at-the-market (ATM) programs, which included both common and preferred equity.
During this timeframe, Strategy sold 1,192,262 shares of STRC, its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, generating $119.1 million in net proceeds. Additionally, the company sold 6,827,695 shares of MSTR Class A common stock, raising $1.13 billion in net proceeds.
No shares were sold during this period from its other preferred stock offerings, including STRF, STRK, and STRD, although considerable issuance capacity is still available across these instruments.
Capital Structure Supports Ongoing Bitcoin Accumulation
As of January 11, Strategy reported a significant remaining capacity for future issuance, including over $20.3 billion under STRK, $4.0 billion under STRD, $3.9 billion under STRC, and $1.6 billion under STRF. The company also has more than $10.2 billion of availability under its MSTR common stock program.
This structure enables Strategy to continue accessing capital opportunistically while distributing financing across common equity and multiple tiers of preferred stock with diverse dividend features.
A Long-Term Bitcoin Treasury Strategy
Strategy’s disclosure emphasizes its belief that bitcoin remains the central asset on its balance sheet. While the company’s average acquisition price is significantly below recent market peaks, the speed and volume of accumulation demonstrate its readiness to invest substantial capital irrespective of short-term price fluctuations.
With almost 700,000 BTC now in possession, Strategy’s balance sheet has evolved into one of the most concentrated institutional representations of long-term bitcoin exposure in global markets.
