Strategy Now Holds Over 700k BTC Following Latest Acquisition

Strategy, the business intelligence firm and the world’s largest corporate holder of bitcoin (BTC), has confirmed its claim that “Bitcoin never takes holidays.” The firm recently expanded its Bitcoin holdings, acquiring 22,305 BTC for approximately $2.13 billion.

Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced the acquisition via a tweet on X, noting an average price of $95,284 per coin, including fees. The addition brings the company’s total holdings to 709,715 BTC. These assets were accumulated for a cumulative $53.92 billion at an average cost of $75,979 per BTC.

Strategy’s BTC Stash Crosses 700K

Between January 12 and January 19, 2026, Strategy raised net proceeds of $2.125 billion through at-the-market sales of common stock under its MSTR ticker and perpetual preferred equity via the STRC program. Approximately $294 million of these proceeds came from STRC contributions, while the remainder was generated from MSTR equity issuances.

The company quickly utilized these funds to acquire 22,305 BTC, as detailed in its SEC Form 8-K filing. This approach aligns with Strategy’s established model of leveraging capital markets to fund Bitcoin accumulation while preserving operational cash reserves. At the time of purchase, Bitcoin’s price was near its peak before experiencing a subsequent dip.

As a result of this transaction, which doubles as one of the Strategy’s most significant single buys in recent months, the firm now holds over 3.3% of Bitcoin’s total supply cap of 21 million. The estimated value of its BTC stash is $64.6 billion. This figure is based on prevailing prices around $91,000 per BTC, reflecting unrealized gains of $10.6 billion overall.

Reactions to Saylor’s Market Strategy

Saylor’s announcement received mixed reactions on X. Some users celebrated his commitment to “hodl,” while others noted that Bitcoin’s price fell about 2% to around $91,000 on January 20, 2026. This drop also caused MSTR shares to decline by 5% in pre-market trading, according to Peter Schiff. 

Community comments raised concerns about funding and questioned whether there was selling during the dip. Supporters, however, remained confident in the long term despite short-term price fluctuations. The acquisition makes Strategy the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin to date and could encourage more companies to add cryptocurrency to their portfolios.
