Strategy Buys 1,550 BTC for $101 Million, Lifting Holdings to 845,256 Bitcoin

Strategy, the enterprise software company led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, disclosed on June 8, 2026, that it acquired 1,550 BTC for approximately $101 million at an average price of $65,161 per coin. The purchase follows a roughly three-week pause in acquisitions and brings the firm's total Bitcoin reserve to 845,256 BTC, according to a post on X by Saylor. Strategy also increased its USD reserve by $100 million to $1.0 billion, as detailed in a related 8-K filing, a step the company said supports its STRC dividends.

The acquisition was confirmed through Strategy's standard "Orange Dots" chart, which Saylor shared on Sunday alongside a comment that it was a "good time to add more dots," signaling a resumption of buying. The 1,550 BTC purchase was carried out after Bitcoin's price declined sharply last week, with the average price of $65,161 per coin reflecting that broader market move. Strategy's disclosure reiterated its ongoing commitment to accumulating Bitcoin, even as the company faced recent criticism over a separate transaction involving the sale of 32 BTC.

"Strategy has acquired 1,550 BTC for $101 million to increase our $BTC Reserve to ₿845,256," Saylor wrote in his post, adding that the firm had "also increased our USD Reserve by $100 million to $1.0 billion." The post referenced the tickers $MSTR and $STRC, the latter being the company's preferred stock listed under that symbol. Strategy did not provide additional commentary beyond the figures in its public disclosures.

The $101 million allocation marks the first major Bitcoin purchase by Strategy since late May, ending a stretch in which the company had not added to its holdings. With the latest acquisition, the firm continues to position Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset, a strategy it has pursued since 2020. The increase in USD reserves to $1.0 billion was described by the company as important for maintaining STRC dividend obligations and provides additional flexibility for further Bitcoin acquisitions in the future.
