Strategy Makes Biggest Bitcoin Buy Since July, Adds 13,267 BTC

Published at 2026-01-12 13:15:18

Strategy said it bought 13,267 BTC for about $1.25 billion, its biggest accumulation since July. The company financed the purchase through a mix of newly issued common stock and a perpetual preferred equity instrument trading under the ticker STRC, signaling a deliberate capital-markets approach to topping up its bitcoin holdings.

The transaction matters because it reduces available supply and underscores continued corporate demand for BTC as a reserve asset. Funding the purchase with equity and preferred shares rather than debt highlights an appetite to preserve balance-sheet flexibility while accepting shareholder dilution. Markets may view the move as a supportive signal for prices and a template for other firms weighing how to increase crypto exposure without adding leverage.
