Background and Impact
According to Strategy's November 9 disclosure, the company purchased bitcoin with about $81.9 million between November 2 and 8, bringing total holdings to 850,364 coins after the purchase. The two sources differ on the number of coins added: Wu Shuo cites the disclosure as 1,036 coins and gives an average purchase price of about $79,012; Odaily reports 1,037 coins based on Strategy's official information. Both agree that total holdings are 850,364 coins. As of November 8, Strategy's cumulative purchase cost was about $64.16 billion, with an average cost of about $75,456.
The purchase was funded through capital market transactions. The same disclosure shows that the company sold about 2.05 million MSTR common shares during the period, raising net proceeds of about $283.8 million for bitcoin purchases and preferred share repurchases; of that, about $188.3 million was spent repurchasing STRC preferred shares. In addition, the company holds about $4.9 billion in U.S. dollar assets. This means the purchase was not funded solely by operating cash flow, but was carried out alongside common stock issuance and preferred share repurchases.
Comparing the figures, the average purchase price of about $79,012 is higher than the cumulative average cost of $75,456, but the two are measured on different bases—one week's purchase versus all holdings—and should not be directly equated. Market attention usually focuses on two points: whether the company's pace of issuing common stock to exchange for bitcoin continues, and the impact of the STRC preferred share repurchases on the capital structure. Investors who follow fund flows often cross-check such disclosures with exchange-level spot trading and ETF subscription data; users who habitually check prices on mobile also obtain real-time quotes through entry points such as Huobi HTX registration app download, Gate.io registration app download, Bitget registration app download, Binance registration app download, and OKX registration app download.
Milestones to watch include: the time range and amount covered by the company's next purchase disclosure, changes in MSTR common shares outstanding after continued issuance, and whether STRC preferred share repurchases continue. For this information, the two sources differ only by 1 coin between 1,036 and 1,037; the other amounts, holdings, and cost data are consistent, and readers can wait for the company's subsequent filings for further confirmation.
