Strategy pulled back on its bitcoin buying last week. The company purchased just $264.1 million worth of the cryptocurrency.
That’s a sharp decline from recent activity. The previous two weeks saw Strategy buy more than $1 billion in bitcoin each time.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor’s company added 2,932 bitcoin during the January 20-25 period. The average purchase price came in at $90,061 per coin.
The company funded the acquisition primarily through stock sales. Strategy sold approximately 1.57 million shares of common stock, generating $257 million in net proceeds.
The company also raised $7 million through the sale of 70,201 shares of its STRC series preferred stock. This brought total funding for the week’s purchases to $264 million.
Strategy now holds 712,647 bitcoin in total. The company has spent $54.19 billion accumulating its stash over time.
The average purchase price across all acquisitions stands at $76,037 per bitcoin. That’s well below current market prices.
Bitcoin traded around $87,500 on Monday morning. At that price, Strategy’s entire holdings are worth just over $62 billion.
Stock Performance Under Pressure
The company’s shares fell 2% in pre-market trading on Monday. The decline came as bitcoin itself experienced another weekend drop.
Strategy’s reduced buying pace raises questions about the company’s acquisition strategy. The shift from billion-dollar weekly purchases to $264 million represents a 75% decline.
Funding Strategy Remains Consistent
Despite the smaller purchase amount, Strategy stuck with its established funding approach. Stock sales continue to fuel bitcoin acquisitions.
The common stock sales generated the bulk of the capital needed. The preferred stock offering played a minor role in funding the purchase.
Strategy disclosed the purchases in a Monday morning filing. The company maintains its practice of weekly bitcoin acquisition announcements.
Bitcoin rose 1.6% in the 24 hours following the announcement. The cryptocurrency reached $88,000 as trading progressed Monday.
The gap between Strategy’s average purchase price and current bitcoin values remains substantial. The company sits on an unrealized gain of roughly $8 billion based on current prices.
Strategy’s total bitcoin holdings represent one of the largest corporate treasuries in existence. The 712,647 coins dwarf holdings of most other public companies.
The company sold 1.57 million common shares during the week ending January 25, 2026.
