Bitcoin (BTC) slipped in January 2026, touching a 2026 low just above $86,000 before moving back toward $88,000, while crypto-focused U.S. stocks traded lower. The market shift left some firms in a precarious spot, notably Strategy (MSTR), which ties much of its valuation to BTC holdings.
Despite recent weakness, Strategy (MSTR) continued accumulating bitcoin early in 2026. The company added about $2.13 billion of BTC, buying 22,305 coins at an average near $95,300 per coin, bringing total holdings to roughly 709,715 coins.
Those holdings were acquired for an aggregate near $53.9 billion, implying an average cost close to $76,000 per coin. To start the year, the company purchased 1,283 BTC for about $116.0 million at an average near $90,400 between January 1 and 4, 2026.
Executive chairman Michael Saylor and the firm have maintained the accumulation strategy even during market weakness. The company presents Bitcoin as a scarce, inflation-resistant reserve that can outperform cash and traditional holdings over long time horizons.
Broader market context has also affected crypto stocks. Regulatory and legislative developments in the U.S. have provided intermittent support to firms such as Strategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN), and proponents note that favorable policy moves could lift cryptocurrencies and linked equities. For now, Strategy (MSTR) remains heavily exposed to BTC price moves, which will largely determine its near-term performance.
