Buybacks and preferred-share repurchases compared with Bitcoin buying
Four headlines place Bitcoin purchases alongside larger repurchases or preferred-share spending; not every headline in this group explicitly makes the same comparison. This is a separate capital-allocation emphasis from the holdings-total headlines.

Position reported below its acquisition cost
Two headlines explicitly describe Bitcoin or Strategy’s holdings as below its acquisition cost. A third headline mentioning a “new twist” does not state that comparison and has been removed from this frame.

Strategy said it spent $64.16 billion in total for its Bitcoin holdings, reflecting an average purchase price of $75,456 per BTC, including fees and expenses.

Strategy also reported that it sold 2,051,348 shares of Class A common stock for approximately $283.8 million in net proceeds, with $81.9 million directed toward bitcoin purchases.
Funding and STRC buybacks
Strategy financed the bitcoin purchase through sales of MSTR common stock, and it simultaneously repurchased $188.3 million in STRC preferred shares.
Strategy’s filings showed that the company repurchased 1,887,464 shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) during the same reporting period.
Strategy reported that it allocated $188.3 million to STRC repurchases while directing $81.9 million to Bitcoin purchases, and it also allocated $13.6 million to USD Cash.
Strategy said it had $560.3 million remaining under its preferred securities repurchase program as of Nov. 8, and it reported $4.77 billion in its designated USD Reserve plus $146.2 million in separate cash holdings.
Michael Saylor wrote on X that “Strategy has acquired 1,036 $BTC and repurchased $188M of $STRC,” tying the bitcoin addition to the preferred-share buyback in the same message.
