<\/div>\n

Strategy (MSTR) stock, formerly known as MicroStrategy, gained 2% on Monday after the Bitcoin treasury company disclosed another purchase of the cryptocurrency, taking its total holdings to a record 848,000 BTC.<\/p>\n

The company acquired 334 BTC for approximately $28.7 million between September 28 and October 4, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. <\/p>\n

The latest purchases were made at an average price of $85,838.80 per Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s total Bitcoin holdings are now worth around $73 billion. <\/p>\n

Its average purchase price stands at $75,440.70 per Bitcoin, with the total cost of its holdings reaching around $64 billion, including fees and expenses.<\/p>\n

Strategy expands Bitcoin holdings<\/h2>\n

The latest acquisition brings Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin holdings to more than 4% of the cryptocurrency\u2019s 21 million supply cap. <\/p>\n

Based on current prices, the holdings imply around $9 billion in paper gains.<\/p>\n

The company financed the latest purchases through proceeds from sales of its Class A common stock and its USD Cash reserve.<\/p>\n

Strategy sold 92,894 MSTR shares for approximately $15.7 million during the previous week. <\/p>\n

As of October 4, the company had $18.8 billion worth of MSTR shares available for issuance and sale under its at-the-market programme.<\/p>\n

The remaining $13 million of the Bitcoin acquisition was funded using Strategy\u2019s USD Cash holdings.<\/p>\n

Strategy also repurchased 1.77 million STRC preferred shares last week for around $176.3 million. <\/p>\n

The company used $154.1 million from its USD Cash reserve for the latest Bitcoin purchases, while $22.2 million came from interest earned on its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.<\/p>\n

Cash reserves support purchases<\/h2>\n

Strategy reported that its USD Reserve stood at $4.88 billion as of October 4, while USD Cash holdings were $833.4 million.<\/p>\n

The company also used $142.5 million from its USD Reserve to fund preferred-stock dividends and interest on its outstanding debt.<\/p>\n

Strategy executive chairman and co-founder Michael Saylor disclosed the company\u2019s total Bitcoin holdings and average acquisition price.<\/p>\n

Saylor also posted a Bitcoin acquisition tracker chart on X on Sunday with the caption \u201cMore orange than ever.\u201d Similar posts have previously preceded Bitcoin acquisition announcements, although the company\u2019s strategy has varied in recent periods.<\/p>\n

Strategy remains the largest public-company Bitcoin holder. Bitcoin Treasuries data showed that 196 public companies have adopted some form of Bitcoin acquisition model.<\/p>\n

Strategy estimates $20.9B gain<\/h2>\n

Strategy also provided an early estimate of its digital-asset performance for the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The company expects to report a $20.91 billion gain on digital assets for the quarter. The carrying value of its Bitcoin holdings stood at $70.82 billion as of September 30.<\/p>\n

Despite the latest Bitcoin purchases, both Strategy stock and Bitcoin remain below their levels from a year ago. <\/p>\n

MSTR has gained 3% year to date but has fallen more than 50% over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin has declined around 2% year to date and is down approximately 30% over the past year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
