Breaking: Michael Saylor’s Strategy Buys 1,142 BTC Amid $5B Unrealized Loss On Bitcoin Holdings

Strategy, previously MicroStrategy, has announced another weekly Bitcoin purchase despite its current unrealized loss of around $5 billion on its BTC holdings. Meanwhile, the MSTR stock has lost some of its gains from last week’s close amid Bitcoin’s drop below $70,000 today.

Strategy Acquires 1,142 BTC For $90 Million

An SEC filing shows that the company acquired 1,142 BTC for $90 million at an average price of $78,815 per bitcoin. It now holds 714,644 BTC, which it acquired for $54.35 billion at an average price of $76,056 per Bitcoin.

The SEC filing also shows that Strategy funded this latest purchase using MSTR shares. The company sold 616,715 shares last week, generating net proceeds of $89.5 million.

The company’s executive chairman, Michael Saylor, hinted at the purchase yesterday in his conventional Sunday X post. He posted Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker with the caption, “Orange Dots Matter,” signaling that they had bought more BTC.

Meanwhile, the purchase comes just as Strategy reported a $12.4 billion loss in the fourth quarter of 2025, partly due to the unrealized loss on its digital assets under fair value accounting. The company also saw Bitcoin crash below its average buy price last week, with the flagship crypto dropping to as low as $60,000.

DropsTab data shows that the company is currently sitting on an unrealized loss of $5.1 billion on its BTC holdings as BTC remains below its average price. Market analyst Maartunn pointed out that Strategy is already down about 10% on its latest buy, having bought the “exact pico top of last week’s price action.”

MSTR Stock Down On The Day

The MSTR stock continues to face downside pressure as Bitcoin struggles to hold key levels. Yahoo Finance data shows that the Strategy stock traded at around $128 at the market open today, down over 5% from last week’s close of $135. The stock surged as much as 26% on Friday as Bitcoin climbed above $70,000 following its crash to $60,000 the previous day.

However, the MSTR stock again risks losing these gains as BTC struggles to hold above $70,000. However, even as the stock remains volatile, Wall Street giant Citigroup has reiterated its buy rating, setting a target of $325.

TD Cowen also gave a buy rating on the Strategy stock last week, with analyst Lance Vitanza predicting that MSTR could rally to $440. Vitanza noted that the company is well-positioned for a Bitcoin recovery. Meanwhile, Strategy CEO Phong Le downplayed concerns that the company would have to liquidate its holdings.

During last week’s earnings calls, he ruled out liquidations unless BTC drops to $8,000 and stays there for five years, through 2032, when they must satisfy obligations on their convertible notes. In the same vein, he and Saylor assured that they will continue to accumulate more BTC even amid this market downtrend.
