Strategy — previously known as MicroStrategy — has stepped into one of its biggest accumulation weeks of 2025, adding 8,178 BTC between Nov. 10 and Nov. 16. The purchase totaled $835.6 million, executed at an average price of $102,171 per coin, according to a new SEC 8-K filing.
With this buy, the company’s bitcoin war chest has surged to 649,870 BTC, currently valued near $61.7 billion. Across all acquisitions, Strategy’s average purchase price stands at $74,433, putting its total cost basis at roughly $48.4 billion — and positioning the firm on an estimated $13.3 billion in paper gains.
How Strategy Funded the Megabuy
The week’s haul leaned heavily on proceeds from its wide-ranging perpetual preferred stock programs:
-
STRK (Strike) — convertible, 8% non-cumulative dividend
-
STRF (Strife) — non-convertible, 10% cumulative dividend
-
STRC (Stretch) — variable-rate preferred with monthly payouts
-
STRE — 0% coupon euro-denominated exchangeable note
A significant portion of the latest purchase was backed by €620 million ($715M) from Strategy’s first euro-based preferred issuance.
These offerings sit atop the company’s massive “42/42” capital blueprint, now expanded toward $84 billion in equity and convertible issuance capacity through 2027 — fueling a multi-year bitcoin acquisition engine.
