Here\u2019s how much the treasury firm has added to each.<\/p>\n<h2>Strategy Has Increased Both Its Bitcoin &amp; USD Treasuries<\/h2>\n<p>As revealed in an X <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/saylor\/status\/2008162324100640955\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">post<\/a> by co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor, Strategy has added 1,287 BTC to its Bitcoin treasury. In total, this acquisition cost the company $116.3 million, according to the filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).<\/p>\n<p>Strategy didn\u2019t buy all of this stack in 2026; it purchased 3 BTC between December 29th and 31st, and 1,283 BTC between January 1st and 4th. After these additions, the firm\u2019s Bitcoin reserves have grown to 673,783 tokens.<\/p>\n<p>The BTC acquisition isn\u2019t all that Saylor has announced. At the start of last month, the company started a new <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/saylor-strategy-new-1-44-billion-usd-reserve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">USD reserve<\/a> as a way of making sure that dividend payments occur in time regardless of short-term volatility in the market. It has just made another expansion to this reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the firm allocated $1.44 billion to the USD reserve, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-strategy-adds-748m-to-usd-reserve-instead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">$748 million addition<\/a> coming a couple of weeks ago. Now, it has raised it further by $62 million, taking the total to $2.25 billion. Strategy has funded this expansion and the latest BTC purchase using sales of its MSTR at-the-market (ATM) stock offering.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy is currently by far the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world, as the below table from<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcointreasuries.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> BitcoinTreasuries.net<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-654127 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/table.png?w=443&amp;resize=443%2C211\" alt=\"Bitcoin Treasuries\" width=\"443\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/table.png?w=443 443w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/table.png?w=130 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\"><\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s 673,783 BTC stack is today worth $63.48 billion, more than 25% above its cost basis of $50.55 billion. Though, while Strategy has done well overall, 2025 wasn\u2019t such a bright year for it.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC filing states that the treasury firm closed December 31st with an unrealized loss of $5.40 billion on its digital asset holdings. The figure for the fourth quarter alone is even worse: an unrealized loss of $17.44 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The bad 2025 is naturally a result of the bearish price action that Bitcoin and the wider digital asset sector faced between October and November. Nonetheless, Strategy still hasn\u2019t sold any coins and its recent purchases suggest it\u2019s committed to growing the treasury further for now.<\/p>\n<p>In some other news, the Bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/new-xrp-etf-filing-hits-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs)<\/a> saw the highest amount of net inflows since October last week.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-654136 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/chart_f3f0ee.png?w=502&amp;resize=502%2C420\" alt=\"Bitcoin ETF Netflow\" width=\"502\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/chart_f3f0ee.png?w=600 600w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/chart_f3f0ee.png?w=502 502w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\"><\/p>\n<p>Spot ETFs are financial instruments that allow investors to gain indirect exposure to BTC\u2019s price movements. That is, they allow traders a route into the cryptocurrency that\u2019s off-chain. Some traditional investors and institutional entities prefer to invest into the asset this way.<\/p>\n<p>Much like the spot on-chain demand, spot ETFs have also faced weak netflows since October, but last week diverged from the recent trend with net inflows of $458.77 million.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Price<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $94,200, up 8% over the last seven days.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/eRdgzh2N\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin Price Chart\" width=\"1486\" height=\"915\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strategy has announced expansions to both its Bitcoin (BTC) and US Dollar (USD) reserves.
