#StrategySkipsBitcoinPurchasesSpends$205MOnSTRCBuybacks
In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), MicroStrategy paused its Bitcoin purchases to acquire USD 204.9 million of its own STRC preferred shares. During the week of October 19–25, 2026, the company reported no Bitcoin transactions or sales of common stock. Instead, it repurchased 2.07 million shares of its Series A Variable Rate Preferred Stock (STRC).
This strategy reflects a clear monthly trend focused on optimizing the company's capital structure and reducing future dividend obligations rather than directly accumulating crypto assets.
Key Financial Details
• Bitcoin Treasury Status: Holdings remained unchanged at 848,517 BTC, acquired at a total cost basis of USD 64.02 billion (an average of USD 75,446 per coin).
• Cash Reduction: The repurchase was funded entirely from its USD cash balance, which fell 46%, from USD 447.3 million to USD 242.4 million.
• Reserves Intact: The firm's separate USD Reserve remained unchanged at USD 4.83 billion, set aside to support debt interest payments and dividend payments.
• Monthly Balance: Since the start of October 2026, MicroStrategy has prioritized optimizing financial liabilities, allocating approximately USD 664 million to STRC repurchases, compared with just USD 72.3 million invested in purchasing 851 BTC.
The move coincided with a slight correction in the cryptocurrency market, where Bitcoin's price retreated toward the USD 80,000 range after reaching a weekly high of USD 84,777. At the same time, the company faces the possibility of being excluded from MSCI's global equity indexes at the end of November, due to new rules concerning operating companies whose balance sheets are concentrated in a single asset.
