Strategy's Mega Bitcoin Buy: Greatest 2026 Purchase Drives Treasury Control

Record-breaking acquisition strengthens holdings over 709,000 BTC.

Having bought 22,305 BTC between January 12 and 19 at an average price of $95,284 per coin, Strategy (previously MicroStrategy) has completed its largest single Bitcoin purchase of 2026. Funded wholly by at-the-market sales of 10.4 million Class A shares (raising $1.83 billion) and preferred shares (totaling $294 million), the transaction came out to roughly $2.13 billion. This move raises Strategy's overall Bitcoin treasury to 709,715 BTC gathered at an average combined cost of $75,979 per coin for a total investment of roughly $53.92 billion.

January sees an acceleration of violent accumulation.

This most recent buy follows earlier January acquisitions, including 13,627 BTC for $1.25 billion at an average of $91,519, and lesser lots, which bring January acquisitions to over 37,000 BTC. Amid increased volatility, the spree developed against a background of Bitcoin trading near the $90,000 mark. Michael Saylor hinted at the move with his trademark "₿igger Orange" post on X, emphasizing the company's steadfast dedication to its Bitcoin treasury plan.

Strategic Advantage grows as the 21/21 Plan progresses.

Maintaining a commanding lead over rivals, strategy currently controls around 3.38% of Bitcoin's whole supply; its holdings are nearly 13 times greater than those of Marathon Digital (MARA). While placing the company well ahead of schedule on its ambitious 21/21 Plan, the hostile accumulation counteracts recent tariff-related market declines. This most recent blockbuster acquisition confirms Strategy's role as the major institutional Bitcoin collector and a major engine of whale-level demand in this cycle.
