The Saylor‑led firm disclosed the purchase in an 8‑K filing on Monday, averaging $80,846 per coin. The buy was financed by a $164 million sale of about 1.18 million MSTR shares, with the remainder of the $65.5 million held in cash. Strategy’s total bitcoin stash now stands at 849,327 BTC, purchased for roughly $64.1 billion at an average $75,451 per coin.
Strive, run by Matt Cole, acquired its 124 bitcoin between Oct 24 and Oct 30 at an average price of $80,526 each, lifting its holdings to 43,124 BTC. The purchase reduced the company’s cash balance by about $14 million to $490 million, while it continues to hold 505,000 shares of Strategy’s STRC preferred stock.
Strategy reported third‑quarter net income of $19.5 billion, driven by a $20.9 billion operating gain tied to the rise in bitcoin’s price. CFO Andrew Kang will step down on Nov 5, with COO Reza Virasteh slated to take the role in January. Shareholders also approved daily dividend accrual for four preferred series, a move aimed at improving liquidity.
Following the announcements, Strategy’s share price fell about 9 percent to $130.51, while Strive’s stock slid roughly 20 percent. Bitcoin traded near $78,000, up 0.2 percent in the last 24 hours, and the firms retain $18.6 billion of ATM‑program capacity for future purchases if the market stays supportive.
