The two transactions returned Strategy to consecutive weekly buying after earlier pauses.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy\u2019s official Bitcoin ledger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategy.com\/ledger\" target=\"_blank\">lists<\/a> 847,666 BTC as its latest reported balance. The company\u2019s aggregate acquisition cost stands at $63.945 billion, equal to an average of $75,437 per BTC including fees and expenses.<\/p>\n<p>At Bitcoin\u2019s current price, the position carries a much higher market value. CoinGecko <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\">shows<\/a> Bitcoin trading near $85,250 on Oct. 4, up roughly 0.5% over 24 hours and trading inside a daily range of approximately $84,572 to $85,401.<\/p>\n<p>Using that market price, Strategy\u2019s 847,666 BTC would be worth close to $72.3 billion. The calculation puts the market value roughly $8.3 billion above the company\u2019s reported $63.95 billion acquisition cost, though the figure changes continuously with Bitcoin\u2019s price.<\/p>\n<p>Saylor\u2019s wording resembles an earlier weekend signal. Strategy\u2019s media feed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategy.com\/media\" target=\"_blank\">shows<\/a> his previous \u201cEven more orange\u201d post alongside the company\u2019s recent Bitcoin updates. Strategy then disclosed the 1,665 BTC purchase on Sept. 28.<\/p>\n<p>A similar pattern does not confirm that the Oct. 4 post will lead to another acquisition disclosure. No newer SEC filing has disclosed an additional Bitcoin purchase as of Sunday.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strategy still has billions available under its stock program<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Strategy funded its most recent purchase through sales of MSTR common stock.<\/p>\n<p>The company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1050446\/000119312526403417\/mstr-20260914.htm\" target=\"_blank\">disclosed<\/a> that it sold 1,469,165 MSTR shares between Sept. 21 and Sept. 27, generating $246.2 million in net proceeds. Of that amount, $142.7 million funded Bitcoin purchases and $103.5 million funded repurchases of STRC preferred stock.<\/p>\n<p>Another $48.1 million from existing cash was used for STRC repurchases, bringing the total preferred-share buyback to $151.7 million during the week. Strategy ended Sept. 27 with $5.02 billion in its U.S. dollar reserve and approximately $1 billion in separate USD cash.<\/p>\n<p>The filing showed $18.84 billion remained available for issuance and sale under Strategy\u2019s MSTR at-the-market program as of Sept. 27. Separate available capacity stood at $17.51 billion for STRC, $4.01 billion for STRD, $2.1 billion for STRK and $1.62 billion for STRF.<\/p>\n<p>STRC, STRD, STRK and STRF are preferred stocks, not corporate bonds. Strategy\u2019s filing identifies STRF and STRD as 10% perpetual preferred shares, STRK as 8% perpetual preferred stock and STRC as variable-rate perpetual preferred stock.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy\u2019s own market dashboard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> an mNAV ratio of 1.18x using market data last updated Oct. 2. MSTR stood at $159.11, while the dashboard listed the company\u2019s Bitcoin position at 847,666 BTC and preferred stock at roughly $14.13 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The company-defined mNAV measure can move with MSTR, Bitcoin and Strategy\u2019s capital structure. It should not be treated as confirmation of a future Bitcoin purchase.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bitcoin ETF holdings have risen with price since July<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Saylor\u2019s latest post comes as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF holdings have continued to rise alongside Bitcoin\u2019s recovery.<\/p>\n<p>CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/quicktake\/6ac24275412129793446b45d-US-Bitcoin-ETFs-Add-88000-BTC-Since-July\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF holdings increased from roughly 1.20 million BTC on July 1 to approximately 1.288 million BTC by Oct. 4.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/10\/image-15-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Source: CryptoQuant\" class=\"wp-image-14485099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/10\/image-15-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/10\/image-15-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/10\/image-15-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/10\/image-15-880x495.webp 880w, https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/10\/image-15.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: CryptoQuant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The change represents nearly 88,000 BTC, or 7.3%, according to the analyst.
