- The purchase was funded largely by selling a record amount of its STRC preferred stock and MSTR common shares.

MicroStrategy, the world’s largest public holder of Bitcoin, continued its aggressive acquisition strategy last week by purchasing 22,337 BTC for $1.57 billion. This major buy, according to an SEC filing, brings the company’s total reserves to over 761,000 Bitcoin.
The acquisition ranks among the five largest in the company’s history. It follows another massive purchase of 17,994 BTC the previous week, demonstrating a relentless accumulation pace.
MicroStrategy executed this purchase at an average price of $70,194 per Bitcoin. This figure is below the company’s overall average acquisition cost of $75,696 per coin.
Consequently, the company’s total holdings now stand at 761,068 BTC. These were acquired for a total cost of approximately $57.61 billion.
The purchase was financed amid record sales of its perpetual preferred equity, Stretch (STRC). MicroStrategy sold 11.9 million STRC shares for $1.18 billion, with net proceeds funding 75% of the Bitcoin buy.
Meanwhile, the company also sold 2.8 million of its common MSTR shares. This secondary sale generated an additional $396 million in capital.
The STRC stock saw a record week, according to STRC Live. An estimated 10,767 BTC worth of the stock was bought across four active trading days.
With its current holdings, MicroStrategy would need 238,932 more BTC to reach 1 million. This equates to an average purchase of about 5,700 BTC per week for the remaining 42 weeks of 2026.
