Strategy disclosed a $168 million bitcoin purchase for the previous week, under the leadership of Michael Saylor

Freepik Michael Saylors Strategy Purchased 168 Million In 40655

Strategy (MSTR) expanded its bitcoin holdings again last week, purchasing 2,486 BTC for approximately $168.4 million.

The company’s total stash now stands at 717,131 bitcoin, accumulated at a combined cost of $54.52 billion — an average entry price of $76,027 per coin. With bitcoin currently trading around $68,000, Strategy’s position reflects an unrealized loss of roughly $8,000 per token, or about $5.7 billion overall.

In a filing released Tuesday, the company said the latest acquisitions were funded through $90.5 million in common stock sales and $78.4 million raised from the issuance of its STRC preferred shares.

MSTR stock was down 3.2% in premarket trading and has declined more than 60% over the past year.
