Strategy, based in Tysons Corner, Virginia, reported on November 9 that it had acquired 1,036 bitcoin at an average price of $79,012 per coin, for a rounded acquisition cost of $82 million. The company’s latest bitcoin ledger lists total holdings of 850,364 BTC at an average acquisition price of $75,456.
The figures appear in entry 126 of Strategy’s bitcoin ledger, dated November 9, 2026. The acquisition cost is displayed in millions of dollars, so the $82 million figure is rounded rather than an exact transaction total. The reported average purchase price describes this acquisition, not bitcoin’s live market price or a forecast of where it will trade.
The ledger’s totals row lists aggregate acquisition cost of $64.165 billion for the bitcoin represented in the current balance. Strategy explicitly says that bitcoin sold, along with the corresponding average acquisition price and acquisition cost, is removed from that totals row. The figure therefore should not be described as every dollar the company has ever spent buying bitcoin.
This report uses the company’s stated 850,364 BTC total rather than calculating a new balance from the preceding entry. The November 2 row and the November 9 acquisition quantity do not reconcile exactly with the latest stated total. The ledger does not explain the difference, so a reconstructed week-to-week change would introduce precision the source does not support.
The purchase matters to investors because it adds to Strategy’s exposure to bitcoin. A larger bitcoin balance makes movements in the cryptocurrency’s price important to the value of that holding, but the number of coins alone does not establish a return for shareholders. The $75,456 average acquisition price is a historical cost measure, not a guaranteed floor for bitcoin or Strategy’s shares.
The ledger also contains earlier negative acquisition entries and a note explaining how sales are treated in the totals. It would be inaccurate to describe Strategy as a company that never sells bitcoin. The latest positive acquisition entry establishes a new reported purchase; it does not announce an irrevocable promise about future buying or selling.
Monday’s ledger provides the quantity acquired, the average price, a rounded cost and the latest reported balance. It does not by itself identify the specific trading counterparties, exact execution times or the financing source for this purchase. No assertion about new share issuance, preferred-stock repurchases or a stock-market reaction is made here on the basis of that table.
The next questions are how Strategy funds further purchases, how its obligations and capital structure develop, and whether it corrects or explains the reconciliation difference between ledger entries. Future purchases or sales remain decisions to be reported, not outcomes guaranteed by Monday’s update. For now, the confirmed development is the company’s newly reported 1,036-BTC acquisition and its stated total holdings.
