Most of the funding came from issuing new common stock. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The latest purchase lifts Strategy\u2019s total holdings to about 660,600 BTC. At current prices, that stack is worth roughly $60Bn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>DISCOVER:<\/b><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/next-100x-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"> <b>10+ Next Crypto to 100X In 2025<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Does This Latest Bitcoin Purchase Stand Out for Strategy?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The size of this buy is notable. It equals all the Bitcoin the company acquired since mid-September, when the token traded near $115,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to <\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/MSTR\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yahoo Finance,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Strategy\u2019s shares traded around $180 on Monday and barely moved.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The stock is still down by half over the past six months, but it has picked up +7.5% over the past week as Bitcoin stayed near the $90,000 mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cantor Fitzgerald analysts said in a recent report that some investors have worried about a possible shift in Strategy\u2019s approach to buying Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They noted that talk about the company skipping the latest pullback had added to that concern. But the analysts said those fears were unnecessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even with that view, Cantor joined other firms in cutting their price targets last week. They pointed to the risk that Strategy could be left out of MSCI indices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters <\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/saylors-strategy-engaging-with-msci-potential-index-exclusion-2025-12-03\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that the company has been in talks with MSCI ahead of the final call.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TD Cowen analysts shared the broader market\u2019s worries about the MSCI outcome. But they also highlighted Strategy\u2019s decision to set aside a $1.4Bn cash reserve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They described it as a careful move that gives the firm enough room to keep paying dividends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Strategy last bought a similar amount of Bitcoin shortly after it closed STRC, a $2.5Bn preferred share offering announced earlier this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>DISCOVER:<\/b><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/next-1000x-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"> <b>Next 1000X Crypto \u2013 Here\u2019s 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x This Year<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Does Strategy\u2019s New Stock Sale Compare to Its Earlier Funding Round?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That raise was the largest crypto-linked equity deal at the time.
