Bitcoin holdings reach 850,364 BTC
Strategy bought 1,036 BTC for $81.9 million between November 2 and November 8, 2026, paying an average of $79,012 per coin, according to an SEC filing cited by Decrypt. The company disclosed the purchase on Monday, November 9.
It was Strategy’s second consecutive week of buying after a one-week pause. The preceding week, it acquired 811 BTC for $65.5 million.
As of November 8, Strategy held 850,364 BTC, acquired for a total of $64.16 billion at an average cost of approximately $75,456 per coin. These figures describe its acquisition costs, not the holdings’ current market value.
MSTR issuance funds purchases and adds to cash
Strategy also repurchased 1,887,464 shares of STRC, its variable-rate preferred stock, for $188.3 million. That was below the $208.2 million spent on STRC repurchases the previous week.
The company funded both the Bitcoin purchase 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.
That funding mix differed from the previous week, when Strategy used USD Cash for its STRC buyback, reducing the account to $132.7 million. With the new proceeds, USD Cash stood at $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 approximately $4.9 billion in total USD assets as of November 8.
Remaining repurchase capacity was approximately:
- $560.3 million under the preferred-stock repurchase program.
- $1 billion under the MSTR share repurchase program.
Index eligibility remained unresolved
At the time of the report, MSCI was due to publish, two days later, the list of companies affected by its new rules for firms dominated by a single asset. Those rules could result in Strategy’s removal from MSCI equity indexes; removal was not reported as a confirmed outcome.
Separately, shareholders had approved daily dividends on Strategy’s four preferred stocks in October 2026, with STRC moving to that schedule on November 1.
The update documents continued Bitcoin accumulation alongside preferred-stock repurchases financed through common-stock issuance. The pending MSCI decision was a separate index-eligibility uncertainty, not evidence of a confirmed market-price effect.
