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 company announced the purchase on Monday, November 9.
The average purchase price was $79,012 per Bitcoin. As of November 8, Strategy held 850,364 BTC, acquired for a total of $64.16 billion at an average cost of about $75,456 per coin.
Equity sales funded both Bitcoin and preferred-stock repurchases
The latest purchase exceeded the previous week’s acquisition of 811 BTC for $65.5 million, which had ended a one-week pause in buying.
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 repurchases the previous week.
The company funded both the Bitcoin acquisition and the STRC buyback by selling 2,051,348 MSTR shares for $283.8 million in net proceeds. The remaining $13.6 million went into its USD Cash account, lifting that balance to $146.2 million as of November 8. The previous week’s STRC buyback had instead been funded from USD Cash, reducing the balance to $132.7 million.
Strategy’s separate USD Reserve, used to cover preferred-stock dividends and debt interest, stood at $4.77 billion after $21.1 million in preferred dividends was paid during the week. Approximately $560.3 million remained available under its preferred-stock repurchase program, alongside $1 billion under its MSTR stock repurchase program.
MSCI review remained unresolved at the reporting date
At the time of the November 9 report, index provider MSCI was due in two days to publish the list of companies affected by its new rules for firms dominated by a single asset. Those rules could remove Strategy from its equity indexes; the report did not establish that removal would occur.
Strategy was also changing its preferred-stock dividend schedule. Shareholders had approved daily dividends on its four preferred stocks in October, with STRC moving to the new schedule on November 1.
