Strategy Starts 2026 With $116M Bitcoin Buy, Posts $17B Loss in Q4

Strategy, the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder, started 2026 by acquiring 1,283 BTC for $116 million, bringing its total holdings to 673,783 BTC valued at $62.6 billion, purchased at an average cost of $75,026 per coin. The purchase was funded by selling shares via its at-the-market offering, and the company also increased its US dollar reserve to $2.25 billion. This activity followed a significant Q4 2025 where Strategy posted a $17.4 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings due to a price drop exceeding 23%, though it also recorded a $5 billion deferred tax benefit. Despite the stock price being down over 58% in the past year, Strategy's Bitcoin advocacy has influenced other companies, like Metaplanet, to adopt similar treasury strategies.
