Strategy bought 1,036 BTC for $81.9 million between November 2 and November 8, 2026, marking its second consecutive weekly purchase, according to an SEC filing cited by Decrypt. The average purchase price was $79,012 per coin.
That brought its holdings to 850,364 BTC, acquired for $64.16 billion at an average cost of about $75,456 per coin. The purchase exceeded the previous week’s addition of 811 BTC for $65.5 million, which followed a one-week pause.
Share sales funded both purchases and buybacks
Strategy also repurchased 1,887,464 shares of STRC, its variable-rate preferred stock, for $188.3 million. That was down from $208.2 million in STRC buybacks the previous week.
The company funded both the Bitcoin purchase and the STRC repurchase by selling 2,051,348 MSTR shares, raising $283.8 million in net proceeds. The remaining $13.6 million went into its USD Cash account.
That funding mix differed from the prior week, when Strategy used USD Cash to pay for its STRC buyback, reducing the account to $132.7 million. With the latest proceeds, USD Cash reached $146.2 million as of November 8.
Its separate USD Reserve—used to cover preferred-stock dividends and debt interest—stood at $4.77 billion after $21.1 million in preferred dividends were paid during the week. Strategy reported roughly $4.9 billion in total USD assets.
About $560.3 million remained available under its preferred-stock repurchase program, alongside $1 billion under its MSTR buyback program.
MSCI decision remained unresolved
The update arrived two days before MSCI was due to publish the list of companies affected by new rules concerning firms dominated by a single asset. Those rules could remove Strategy from MSCI’s equity indexes; the report did not establish that an exclusion had occurred.
Separately, shareholders had approved daily dividends on Strategy’s four preferred stocks in October 2026, with STRC moving to the new schedule on November 1.
