Strategy (MSTR) Makes 100th Bitcoin Purchase, Adds 592 BTC

Strategy recently marked a significant milestone by completing its 100th bitcoin acquisition since making the cryptocurrency its primary reserve asset in 2020. The company purchased 592 BTC for approximately $39.8 million, with an average price of $67,286 per coin.

The acquisition was funded through the sale of 297,940 shares of Class A common stock as part of Strategy’s at-the-market offering program between February 17–22. This generated $39.7 million in net proceeds, according to a statement released by the company.

With this latest acquisition, Strategy now holds a total of 717,722 bitcoin, acquired for a total of $54.56 billion at an average price of $76,020 per bitcoin. This makes Strategy the largest corporate bitcoin treasury in the world.

The company still has $37.4 billion in securities available for future issuance under its at-the-market program, including $7.8 billion of MSTR stock and $20.3 billion of STRK stock.

Strategy is committed to transparency and compliance with Regulation FD, maintaining a public dashboard that details its bitcoin holdings, purchases, and market prices.

The timing of the recent purchase coincides with a period of weakness in the bitcoin market, with the price dropping from around $68,000 to near $66,000 over the weekend. This has put pressure on Strategy’s shares, which have fallen more than 2% to around $128 in premarket trading, highlighting the strong correlation between the company’s bitcoin exposure and its share price.

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, hinted at the purchase on social media platform X, sharing the company’s bitcoin tracker with the caption “The Orange Century,” signifying the milestone 100th acquisition.

Strategy has made it clear that it has no intentions of selling any of its bitcoin holdings, even during extended market downturns. Michael Saylor defended the company’s strategy of regularly buying bitcoin, stating that Strategy has enough cash to cover dividends and debt for over two years.

“We’re not going to be selling; we’re going to be buying bitcoin,” Saylor emphasized. “I expect we’ll buy bitcoin every quarter forever.”

As of the time of writing, bitcoin is trading near $66,000, and shares of Strategy are at $127.90 in premarket trading. According to a report from BitcoinTreasuries.net, Strategy accounted for over 90% of net new corporate purchases in January 2026, acquiring 40,150 BTC and ending the month with 712,647 BTC.

Strategy’s buying activity has had a significant impact on the sector, with its purchases making up 93% of public-company gross purchases and 97.5% of net additions, bringing sector-wide accumulation back to levels seen in late summer.

Overall, Strategy’s strategic approach to bitcoin acquisition and its commitment to holding onto its holdings demonstrate the company’s confidence in the long-term potential of the cryptocurrency.
