Strategy Adds 2,486 Bitcoin At $67,710 Despite $5.7B Unrealized Loss And $17.4B Operating Loss

Strategy purchased 2,486 Bitcoin (BTC) for $168.4 million between February 9 and 16, funded entirely through equity sales amid sustained price weakness.

The company's holdings reached 717,131 BTC with a cumulative acquisition cost of $54.52 billion, representing an average purchase price of $76,027 per bitcoin.

With bitcoin trading near $68,000 as of February 17, Strategy's position carries approximately $5.7 billion in unrealized losses.

The purchase extends the company's accumulation strategy despite a $17.4 billion operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Equity-Funded Accumulation Continues

Strategy financed the latest purchase through its at-the-market equity offering programs, raising $169 million by selling 660,000 shares of Class A common stock and 785,354 shares of Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock.

The company now controls more than 3% of bitcoin's total circulating supply.

Executive Chairman Michael Saylor confirmed the acquisition Tuesday via social media, stating the firm continues to "hodl" its growing treasury position.

Operating Loss and Share Dilution

Strategy reported a $17.4 billion operating loss and $12.4 billion net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025, driven primarily by bitcoin's fair value decline during the period.

Bitcoin fell from approximately $120,000 in early October to around $89,000 by year-end before dropping further to current levels.

The company maintains $7.88 billion in remaining capacity under its common stock authorization and $3.54 billion under STRC preferred stock offerings. Total outstanding shares have exceeded 312 million following persistent dilution through equity raises to fund bitcoin purchases.

MSTR shares fell more than 3% Tuesday, trading at levels roughly 68% below their 52-week high near $457. The stock declined 17% on February 5 following the Q4 earnings release as bitcoin crashed below $65,000.

Strategy continues acquiring bitcoin regardless of price, converting equity proceeds directly into the digital asset. The company has repeatedly stated it has no plans to sell any holdings.
