The firm acquired 4,603 BTC for a total of $369.7 million during the past week, at an average price of $80,318 per unit, according to a press release.

Its chief executive officer Michael Saylor anticipated the operation on Sunday through his account on X, where he posted a chart with the firm’s purchase history and wrote: “We’re ₿ack“.

Strategy Strengthens its Dollar Reserves
The return of purchases comes in a particular context: during the previous two months, Strategy had redirected its attention toward rebuilding its dollar reserves, which now exceed $6.7 billion. During that period, the price of STRC preferred shares fell to $75, well below their par value of $100, although they gradually recovered to close last week above $97 once the firm halted its massive BTC acquisitions.
Back in Positive Territory
With this purchase, the company’s total holdings rise to 845,050 BTC, acquired for $63.73 billion at an average price of $75,412 per unit. At the current market price, that position is worth $66.4 billion, meaning the portfolio returned to positive territory for the first time since May.
The MSTR stock is trading higher with a gain of 1.65% in the pre-market session, while Bitcoin is trading around $78,400.
