The holdings are valued at roughly $62 billion using the prevailing market price, reflecting the company’s significant exposure to the cryptocurrency. After a brief decline in the stock price last week, the company’s shares have recovered some of the lost ground, posting a modest gain of 3.8% for the year.

Despite a broader market correction and rising geopolitical uncertainty, Strategy continues to acquire Bitcoin on a frequent basis. The company’s purchases are timed when the price is above $90,000, as seen in the recent transaction. While the cryptocurrency’s price has fallen below $88,000, the holdings remain a significant asset on Strategy’s balance sheet.

Strategic Implications

Strategy’s ongoing Bitcoin purchases demonstrate a deliberate approach to building a long-term digital-asset portfolio. By acquiring BTC even amid market volatility, the company signals confidence in the cryptocurrency’s future value. The recent purchase of 2,932 BTC at $90,061 per coin, above the current price of $76,037, reflects a willingness to pay a premium for long-term exposure.

Stock Performance

Strategy’s stock price mirrored the overall market’s volatility last week, falling on Tuesday and Friday. However, it has since regained some of the lost ground. As of the start of 2026, the stock is slightly in the green, showing a 3.8% increase for the year. The modest rise indicates that investors are still monitoring the company’s Bitcoin strategy closely.
