Key Points on Strategy's Latest Bitcoin Acquisition:

Strategy Inc. acquired 1,229 BTC at an average price of $88,568 per coin, totaling $108.8 million.
The company holds a total of 672,497 BTC, purchased for approximately $50.44 billion at an average price of $74,997 per Bitcoin.
This acquisition resulted in a year-to-date BTC yield of 23.2% for the company.

Context and Challenges:

The purchase was announced by Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, via social media, sparking questions from skeptics like economist Peter Schiff.
Schiff questioned how Strategy intends to fund the Bitcoin purchase, suggesting the possibility of using Treasury reserves or selling stock at a discount.
Strategy is currently challenging MSCI’s proposal to exclude digital asset treasury companies from global indexes, labeling the 50% threshold as arbitrary and discriminatory.
The consultation on this proposal will conclude by January 15, 2026.

Market Reactions:

Strategy’s MSTR stock trades close to its Bitcoin Net Asset Value (mNAV).
The company has recently built a significant cash reserve from equity issuance.
Market observers are curious whether this new capital base will be used for additional Bitcoin accumulation.
