Strategy has expanded its Bitcoin treasury significantly, acquiring over 22,000 BTC worth $2.13 billion through a recent equity sale, showcasing the company’s increasing influence in cryptocurrency holdings.
Strategy expanded its Bitcoin treasury this month after selling roughly $2.1 billion of securities and using the proceeds to buy 22,305 BTC, the company said in a regulatory filing and subsequent vendor reports.
According to Investing.com, Strategy sold 2,945,371 shares of STRC preferred stock for $294.5 million (net proceeds $294.3 million), 38,796 shares of STRK preferred stock for $3.9 million (net proceeds $3.4 million) and 10,399,650 shares of MSTR common stock, generating net proceeds of $1.83 billion under its at‑the‑market offering programme between January 12 and January 19, 2026. Those sales funded the purchase of 22,305 bitcoin for an aggregate $2.13 billion, at an average price of about $95,284 per coin, the filing shows.
The purchases brought Strategy’s total holdings to 709,715 BTC as of January 19, 2026. “As of 1/19/2026, we hold 709,715 $BTC acquired for ~$53.92 billion at ~$75,979 per bitcoin,” the company said in its filing, a figure echoed by CoinSpeaker and BitcoinTreasuries. That aggregate purchase price implies an average cost basis of about $75,979 per bitcoin, including fees and expenses.
Industry trackers and commentary noted the scale and financing of the move. BitcoinTreasuries reported the buy was funded through the ATM equity programme, while CoinCentral and MEXC characterised the transaction as the largest weekly acquisition since November 2024 and said the holdings represent a material share of Bitcoin’s supply. Blog.ueex and CoinSpeaker estimated Strategy now controls a little over 3% of the 21 million bitcoin supply.
Strategy also disclosed the remaining capacity under its ATM shelf for several preferred classes, listing roughly $1.62 billion available for one preferred series, $3.63 billion for STRC, $20.33 billion for STRK and about $4.01 billion for another series, signalling scope for further capital raises to fund future purchases. The company noted it maintains a public dashboard with market prices, purchase activity and key metrics as a disclosure channel.
Analysts cited by CoinCentral and MEXC have revised 2026 acquisition expectations higher, with some now forecasting Strategy could buy about 155,000 BTC in fiscal 2026, up from earlier estimates near 90,000 BTC, underscoring market attention on the firm’s continued use of equity markets to accumulate bitcoin.
