Early New Year Bitcoin Accumulation
Funding Source for Bitcoin Purchases: Ordinary Share ATM Issuance
US Dollar Reserves Reach $2.25 Billion
The world’s largest Bitcoin reserve company, MicroStrategy (Strategy Inc.), issued a new announcement on January 5, Eastern Time, stating that at the start of 2026, it has continued its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Within just a few days, it has invested heavily again, demonstrating strong confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.
Early New Year Bitcoin Accumulation
According to the announcement, MicroStrategy purchased a total of 1,283 Bitcoins (BTC) from January 1 to January 4, 2026, with a total investment of approximately $116 million. The average purchase price was about $90,391 per BTC (including related fees).
After completing this purchase, as of January 4, 2026, MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings reached 673,783 BTC, with a cumulative investment of about $50.55 billion. The overall average purchase cost is approximately $75,026 per BTC. The company remains the largest publicly listed company holding Bitcoin.
Funding Source for Bitcoin Purchases: Ordinary Share ATM Issuance
The announcement also indicated that the funds used for this Bitcoin purchase mainly came from MicroStrategy raising capital through the ATM (At-The-Market) stock issuance plan by selling common shares.
Specifically, from January 1 to January 4, 2026, MicroStrategy issued 735,000 shares of MSTR common stock, raising approximately $116.3 million. Additionally, from December 29 to December 31, 2025, the company issued 1.256 million shares, raising about $195.9 million.
As for multiple perpetual preferred stocks (including STRF, STRC, STRK, STRD), they were not actually issued during these two periods but still hold substantial available issuance capacity, indicating the company’s high flexibility in capital management.
As of January 4, 2026, the remaining available issuance and sale amounts under the ATM plan for various stock types are:
MSTR common stock: approximately $11.386 billion
STRF (10% perpetual preferred stock): approximately $1.619 billion
STRC (variable rate perpetual preferred stock): approximately $4.042 billion
STRK (8% perpetual preferred stock): approximately $20.335 billion
STRD (10% perpetual preferred stock): approximately $4.015 billion
Market analysis suggests that this means MicroStrategy, if it continues its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, still has substantial fundraising capacity.
US Dollar Reserves Reach $2.25 Billion
In addition to Bitcoin and equity financing, MicroStrategy also updated its US dollar reserve (USD Reserve) status. The company stated that these reserves are mainly used to pay preferred stock dividends and outstanding debt interest.
As of January 4, 2026, MicroStrategy’s USD reserve balance was approximately $2.25 billion. The company emphasized that the size and usage of the reserves will be flexibly adjusted based on market conditions, liquidity needs, and other factors.
