Strategy boosts bitcoin holdings to 848,000 with latest purchases

Strategy made significant moves in the cryptocurrency market, disclosing updates on its holdings and financial activities in a statement released on October 5, 2026. The company revealed it had acquired an additional 334 bitcoin (BTC) between October 1 and October 4, 2026, bringing its total holdings to 848,000 BTC. The purchase was funded by proceeds from the sale of 92,894 shares of Class A common stock (MSTR Stock), which generated $15.7 million in net proceeds. The average price per bitcoin during this period was $85,838.8.

The company's bitcoin portfolio now has a total cost basis of approximately $63.97 billion, with an average purchase price of $75,440.7 per bitcoin. Strategy also detailed its share repurchase activities, buying back 1,033,168 shares of its stock for $102.6 million between September 28 and September 30, 2026, and an additional 740,634 shares for $73.7 million between October 1 and October 4, 2026.

As of October 4, 2026, Strategy had $18.83 billion in MSTR Stock remaining available for issuance and sale under its ATM program. The company's financial reserves included a USD Reserve of $4.88 billion and a USD Cash balance of $833.4 million. For the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, Strategy estimated a $20.91 billion gain on digital assets and a $1.88 billion deferred tax expense related to its bitcoin holdings.

The company's digital asset carrying value was estimated at $70.82 billion, with a net deferred tax liability of $1.88 billion. A previously recorded $4.12 billion deferred tax asset was reversed due to bitcoin's fair value exceeding its cost basis by the end of the quarter.
