Updated: Strategy Raises Reported Holdings to 848,000 BTC and Repurchases STRC for $176.3 Million
Strategy reported purchasing 334 BTC for $28.7 million, bringing its reported holdings to 848,000 bitcoin. The company also repurchased approximately 1.77 million STRC preferred shares for $176.3 million.
Strategy’s reported BTC holdings rose to 848,000 bitcoin after the purchase of 334 BTC for $28.7 million. The company said it completed the transaction from October 1 to 4, 2026; the holdings figure is as of October 4. At the same time, it repurchased approximately 1.77 million STRC preferred shares for $176.3 million.
The purchase increased its reported holdings from 847,666 BTC to 848,000 BTC.
Reported BTC holdings reached 848,000 bitcoin
Strategy said it paid $28.7 million for 334 BTC. This is significantly less than the $176.3 million used during the same period to repurchase STRC preferred shares. However, the available data does not indicate whether this ratio represents a lasting change in its allocation strategy or a decision limited to that period.
The reported holdings are based on Strategy’s disclosures. The available materials do not cite independent on-chain audit confirmation of its bitcoin holdings.
STRC repurchases exceeded bitcoin spending
The company also repurchased approximately 1.77 million STRC preferred shares for $176.3 million.
Alongside the continued expansion of its reported bitcoin holdings, the update also documents an operation involving the company’s capital structure. The announcement does not confirm the planned scale of additional BTC purchases or future STRC repurchases.
Preliminary digital asset revaluation
Strategy estimates digital asset gains for the third quarter of 2026 at $20.91 billion. This is not realized operating profit or cash income. It is an accounting effect from revaluing the bitcoin position at fair value.
The company attributed approximately $1.88 billion in deferred tax expense to this estimate. Both figures are preliminary and may change after the full third-quarter results and financial statements are published.
What to watch next
When Strategy releases its full third-quarter results, it will be possible to assess the final digital asset revaluation and related tax item. Additional 8-K filings may provide data on BTC purchases or potential sales, as well as the pace and scale of STRC repurchases.
