Michael Saylor-led Strategy disclosed a new Bitcoin acquisition through a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing released on January 5, 2026, detailing the purchase of 2,932 BTC for $264.1 million during a broader market pullback. The filing, referenced publicly on January 26, 2026, stated the Bitcoin was acquired at an average price of $90,061 per coin, with transactions executed during a trading week that saw Bitcoin fall more than 6% from recent highs. The disclosure identified Strategy as the world’s largest public corporate holder of Bitcoin.

The latest acquisition increased Strategy’s total Bitcoin position to 712,647 BTC, accumulated for an aggregate purchase cost of approximately $54.19 billion, implying an average acquisition price of $76,037 per Bitcoin across its full treasury. Company filings showed January purchases totaled about 40,100 BTC, exceeding the combined amount acquired from August through December 2025. The January buying included a 22,305 BTC purchase announced earlier in the month and a 13,627 BTC acquisition disclosed the week prior.

Regulatory documents showed the most recent Bitcoin purchase was largely funded through equity sales. Strategy sold approximately 1.7 million shares of its Class A common stock, generating about $257 million in proceeds, alongside the sale of 70,201 shares of its Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, raising an additional $7 million. Market data cited in the filing showed Strategy’s shares trading near $163 at the time of reporting, down from a January high of $185.

Ethereum treasury accumulation also intensified during the same period. BitMine Immersion Technologies, chaired by Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, disclosed on January 26, 2026, that it had acquired an additional 40,302 ETH since its previous update on January 20. The company reported total Ethereum holdings of 4,243,338 ETH, valued at approximately $12.3 billion at prevailing prices, following the latest weekly acquisitions. The company did not disclose the average purchase price for the new Ethereum tranche.

BitMine reported that its total crypto and cash holdings stood at $12.8 billion following the update, with the firm nearing 70% of its stated Ethereum treasury accumulation target. Company data showed BitMine controls roughly 3.52% of Ethereum’s circulating supply, a position it described as nearly five times larger than its closest Ethereum-focused treasury competitor. The firm also disclosed additional holdings including 193 BTC valued at about $17 million, a $19 million stake in Worldcoin-linked treasury firm Eightco, $682 million in cash, and a $200 million equity investment in MrBeast’s Beast Industries.
