What happened: Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) purchased 334 BTC for $28.7 million between September 28 and October 4, 2026, at an average price of $85,839 per bitcoin. This brings the firm's total BTC holdings to 848,000, representing about 4% of the capped 21 million supply and a market value near $73 billion. The purchase was funded through $15.7 million from share sales and existing cash reserves. The buy was signaled by Michael Saylor’s "More Orange Than Ever" post on X, following a pattern of pre-announcement hints.
Why it matters: While the addition is one of Strategy's smallest weekly buys in 2026, it underscores the company's ongoing commitment to bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. The incremental approach signals a shift from the earlier, larger buys, possibly reflecting both market conditions and a strategic focus on cost-averaging. With an average cost basis of $75,441 per BTC, Strategy continues to outperform the market, but the pace of accumulation is clearly moderating.
