This recent acquisition occurred between January 1 and January 4, at a total cost of around $116 million, with an average purchase price of $90,391 per bitcoin, including fees and expenses.

The action follows a minor acquisition of three BTC at the close of December, highlighting the firm’s ongoing accumulation as the new year commences.

As of January 4, Strategy’s total bitcoin purchase price is reported at $50.55 billion, with an average acquisition cost of $75,026 per BTC across its entire treasury.

USD Reserves Increase to $2.25 Billion

In addition to bitcoin acquisitions, Strategy states it has also raised its USD reserves by approximately $62 million, bringing the total dollar reserves to around $2.25 billion.

The filing indicates that the capital was primarily generated through the sale of Class A common stock under the company’s at-the-market (ATM) equity program.

Between January 1 and January 4, Strategy reports selling 735,000 shares of MSTR stock, resulting in net proceeds of $116.3 million. This follows an additional $195.9 million raised from equity sales at the end of December, with most of the proceeds directed toward bitcoin purchases.

Equity Issuance Remains Essential Funding Mechanism

The filing further outlines substantial remaining issuance capacity within Strategy’s capital structure. As of January 4, the company had over $11.3 billion in MSTR common stock available for issuance, in addition to several classes of preferred stock with multi-billion-dollar issuance capacity.

Strategy did not sell any preferred shares during the most recent reporting period, opting instead for common equity issuance to finance its bitcoin acquisitions. Net proceeds from all sales were recorded after deducting commissions and fees.

Strategy’s ongoing accumulation demonstrates its commitment to bitcoin as a key treasury reserve asset. Since adopting this strategy in 2020, the company has consistently leveraged equity and capital markets to enhance its BTC exposure, irrespective of market cycles.

Bitcoin Holds Near $93,000 as Early-January Momentum Builds

Earlier, Bitcoin traded at approximately $92,966, reflecting an increase of about 1.8% over the past 24 hours, continuing its early-January recovery following a turbulent December. This movement positions BTC near the higher end of its recent range, with buyers re-entering after a retreat from October’s all-time high close to $126,000.

Bitcoin fluctuated between roughly $91,277 and $92,966, indicating an improvement in short-term momentum. The trading volume over the last 24 hours was around $28.9 billion, suggesting renewed market participation as the sector processes macro signals and early-year capital deployment.

From a broader viewpoint, Bitcoin’s market capitalization is approximately $1.86 trillion, with the circulating supply nearing 19.97 million BTC, leaving under 1.03 million coins yet to be mined.

Despite the recent recovery, BTC remains about 26% lower than its October 2025 peak, indicating that the market is still in a consolidation phase rather than experiencing a full breakout.
