Michael Saylor's Strategy continues expanding its Bitcoin holdings while repurchasing nearly $200 million in preferred stock. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $82,889.00, up 0.2% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief synthesising 3 outlets (Bitcoin.com, Crypto.news, Decrypt), with their figures cross-checked, plus live market data, as of Mon, 12 Oct 2026 14:00:04 UTC.
This development highlights Strategy's ongoing commitment to Bitcoin accumulation as a treasury strategy while also demonstrating financial strength through significant share repurchases. The moves reinforce Bitcoin's role as a corporate treasury asset and could influence other institutional investors.
- Strategy purchased 250 BTC for $21.5M, increasing holdings to 848,250 BTC.
- The company repurchased $192.4M in STRC preferred stock.
- Bitcoin holdings now valued at approximately $70.2B at current prices.
- Combined dollar reserves and cash holdings remain substantial.
All three outlets - Bitcoin.com, Crypto.news, and Decrypt - confirm that Strategy bought 250 BTC for $21.5 million, bringing its total holdings to 848,250 BTC. They also agree on the $192.4 million repurchase of STRC preferred stock. However, there is a discrepancy in the timing of the stock repurchase: Decrypt reports it occurred the week before, while Bitcoin.com and Crypto.news present it as a concurrent event. Additionally, Crypto.news specifies that Strategy's dollar assets total $5.5 billion, a detail not mentioned by the other outlets.
Michael Saylor's Strategy has further expanded its 
Bitcoin treasury by purchasing an additional 250 BTC for approximately $21.5 million. This acquisition, disclosed on October 12, 2026, follows a teaser from Saylor on Sunday about the company's intention to add more Bitcoin to its holdings.
The purchase brings Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings to 848,250 BTC, which is currently valued at around $70.2 billion based on the latest market price of $82,705 per BTC. This latest acquisition underscores the company's continued commitment to Bitcoin as a core component of its treasury strategy.
In addition to the Bitcoin purchase, Strategy also repurchased $192.4 million worth of its STRC preferred stock. While Bitcoin.com and Crypto.news present this as a concurrent event, Decrypt reports that the repurchase occurred the week before. This significant financial move demonstrates the company's strong financial position and its strategy of returning value to shareholders.
According to Crypto.news, Strategy's combined U.S. dollar reserves and cash holdings remain substantial, though the exact figure is not specified in the other outlets. This information, combined with the share repurchase, suggests that the company is maintaining a healthy balance sheet while continuing to invest in Bitcoin.
The broader market context shows the total crypto market cap at $2.88 trillion, with Bitcoin trading at $82,705, representing a 0.38% decrease over the past 24 hours.

This suggests that while the overall market is relatively stable, Strategy's moves could be seen as a bullish signal for Bitcoin.
