Strategy bought 811 bitcoin for $65.5 million at an average of $80,846 per coin between October 26 and November 1, Decrypt reported, citing an SEC filing, bringing holdings to 849,327 BTC acquired for about $64.08 billion. The company funded the purchase by selling 1,178,552 MSTR shares for $164 million in net proceeds and also repurchased 2,092,035 STRC preferred shares for $208.2 million from USD Cash.

What sources claim

  • Strategy bought 811 BTC for $65.5 million at an average of $80,846 per coin, funded by selling 1,178,552 shares of MSTR stock for $164 million in net proceeds, according to an SEC filing cited by Decrypt.
  • Strategy now holds 849,327 BTC, acquired for a total of $64.08 billion at an average of about $75,451 per coin, Decrypt reported.
  • Strategy bought back 2,092,035 shares of STRC preferred stock for $208.2 million, paid from USD Cash, which fell to $132.7 million from $242.4 million a week earlier, per Decrypt.

Still unresolved

  • What exact mechanism or liquidity constraints drove the shift toward repurchasing STRC rather than issuing preferred stock to fund bitcoin purchases, and whether Strategy will confirm the rationale in an official statement.

Evidence levels describe source coverage, not the probability that a report is true. Price moves and their timing cannot establish a cause; minute samples show an observed interval and alert thresholds are heuristics. Explanations are model-assisted, with citations and figures checked. Source titles stay in their original language; full articles are not republished.
