Strategy, previously MicroStrategy, has announced another weekly Bitcoin purchase despite its current unrealized loss of around $5 billion on its BTC holdings. Meanwhile, the MSTR stock has lost some of its gains from last week’s close amid Bitcoin’s drop below $70,000 today.
Strategy Acquires 1,142 BTC For $90 Million
An SEC filing shows that the company acquired 1,142 BTC for $90 million at an average price of $78,815 per bitcoin. It now holds 714,644 BTC, which it acquired for $54.35 billion at an average price of $76,056 per Bitcoin.
The SEC filing also shows that Strategy funded this latest purchase using MSTR shares. The company sold 616,715 shares last week, generating net proceeds of $89.5 million.

Meanwhile, the purchase comes just as Strategy reported a $12.4 billion loss in the fourth quarter of 2025, partly due to the unrealized loss on its digital assets under fair value accounting. The company also saw Bitcoin crash below its average buy price last week, with the flagship crypto dropping to as low as $60,000.
Unrealized Loss Of $5.1 Billion On Bitcoin Holdings
DropsTab data shows that the company is currently sitting on an unrealized loss of $5.1 billion on its BTC holdings as BTC remains below its average price. The MSTR stock continues to face downside pressure as Bitcoin struggles to hold key levels.
Yahoo Finance data shows that the Strategy stock is currently down at $129, down over 4% from last week’s close of $135. The stock surged as much as 26% on Friday as Bitcoin climbed above $70,000 following its crash to $60,000 the previous day.

TD Cowen also gave a buy rating on the Strategy stock last week, with analyst Lance Vitanza predicting that MSTR could rally to $440. Vitanza noted that the company is well-positioned for a Bitcoin recovery.
