Strategy Adds 1,036 Bitcoin, Total Holdings Reach 850,364 BTC
Strategy spent $81.9M on fresh Bitcoin last week while also deploying $188.3M to buy back preferred shares, per a new SEC filing.
Strategy continued its relentless Bitcoin accumulation strategy last week, purchasing 1,036 additional coins for approximately $81.9 million, according to a filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

With holdings now above 850,000 BTC, the company's balance sheet is increasingly inseparable from the trajectory of the cryptocurrency market itself, amplifying both the upside and the risk for shareholders.
