Strategy Adds 267 Bitcoin, Now Holds Over 4% of Total Supply

What happened: Strategy (MSTR), led by Michael Saylor, purchased 267 BTC between October 12–18, 2026, at an average price of $82,900 per coin, totaling roughly $22.1 million. The acquisition was funded through the sale of 140,872 MSTR shares via an at-the-market (ATM) program, as disclosed in an SEC filing on October 19. Strategy's total bitcoin holdings now stand at 848,517 BTC, representing more than 4% of the total bitcoin supply, with a cost basis of $64 billion and an average acquisition price of $75,446.

Why it matters: While the purchase size is modest compared to Strategy's historical buys—two years ago, the firm acquired 55,000 BTC in a single week—it underscores a continued commitment to bitcoin accumulation, even as market momentum has slowed. The move reinforces Strategy's position as the largest corporate BTC holder, and its steady accumulation signals ongoing institutional conviction despite recent ETF outflows and tepid price action.
