THE STORY · FACTUAL SUMMARY

Strategy's 9 November filing reports buying 1,036 BTC for $81.9 million during 2–8 November, taking holdings to 850,364 BTC. It spent $188.3 million buying back STRC preferred shares, more than twice the amount allocated to Bitcoin.

The company raised $283.8 million through sales of roughly 2.05 million common shares. Alongside Bitcoin purchases and preferred-share repurchases, $13.6 million went to dollar cash. The filing puts the average price of the new Bitcoin at $79,012, including fees and expenses.

That allocation gives a fuller picture than the headline coin count. Common equity issuance funded both an increase in the Bitcoin treasury and a reduction in a preferred-security obligation. Buying back STRC is a capital-management transaction; it is not another purchase of the underlying cryptocurrency.

Strategy reported an aggregate Bitcoin acquisition cost of $64.16 billion and an average of $75,456 per coin. These are historical purchase figures, not current valuations or a forecast. The latest figures come from the company's filing linked through its ledger. A larger Bitcoin balance alone does not describe the effect of issuing common shares or repurchasing preferred stock.

HIS MAJESTY’S ASSESSMENT · OPINION
The Bitcoin pile grew. The larger cheque went to tidying up the furniture around it.
