MicroStrategy Kicks Off 2026 with Major Bitcoin Acquisition Amidst Q4 Losses

MicroStrategy has made significant strides by purchasing 1,283 BTC for $116 million, despite reporting a $17.4 billion unrealized loss in Q4.

MicroStrategy, the largest corporate possessor of Bitcoin, has initiated 2026 with a substantial acquisition of 1,283 BTC for $116 million, raising its overall holdings to 673,783 BTC, valued at approximately $62.6 billion, per average costs of $75,026 each BTC. This update was disclosed in a recent filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Despite this significant investment, the company recorded a staggering $17.4 billion unrealized loss during Q4 2025 following a downturn in Bitcoin prices, which declined over 23% as noted by Cointelegraph data.

Additionally, MicroStrategy’s cash reserves increased to $2.25 billion, bolstered by $62 million set aside for operational costs, according to a post from Michael Saylor. This capital is strategically allocated for dividends and outstanding debts.
