Strategy adds 1,036 Bitcoin, while more share-sale proceeds go to STRC buybacks
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.
The Bitcoin pile grew. The larger cheque went to tidying up the furniture around it.
