Strategy has now spent $51.80 billion buying Bitcoin at an average cost of $75,353 per coin.

The company owns more Bitcoin on its balance sheet than any other public company, distinct from exchanges like Coinbase that hold Bitcoin on behalf of customers.

Index Inclusion Concerns Resolved

The purchase comes days after MSCI, a major stock index provider, confirmed Strategy would remain in its indexes.

The Jan. 6 decision matters because funds that track MSCI indexes are required to hold shares of companies included in those indexes.

Had MSCI removed Strategy, those funds would have been forced to sell their shares. JPMorgan had estimated such selling could have totaled $8.8 billion. That risk is now off the table, according to MSCI’s official announcement.

Stock Trades Below Bitcoin Value

Despite the positive index news, Strategy shares are trading at a discount to the Bitcoin the company holds.

At current prices, the stock is valued at roughly 75 to 80 cents for every dollar of Bitcoin on the balance sheet. MSTR closed at $157.33 on January 9, down 66% from its July 2025 peak of $457.20.

Strategy has issued many new shares to fund its Bitcoin purchases. The share count has grown from 77 million in 2021 to 267 million today.

The company has the capacity to sell $11 billion more in shares for future Bitcoin acquisitions.

Before this purchase, Strategy held 673,783 BTC. The latest acquisition adds to a buying streak that has accelerated since late 2024 under what the company calls its 21/21 capital plan.

$33.5 billion! This Amazon number has "shocked" the market

Amazon's free cash flow in Q3 plummeted to -$33.5 billion, four times higher than the market expectation of -$7.7 billion. The sharp decline was caused by the dual impact of $77.3 billion in capital expenditures and $48.1 billion in new debt in a single quarter. Although AWS's growth rate reached a five-year high of 39.3%, it still fell short of buy-side expectations, and its profit margin declined. The Q4 operating profit guidance of $31 billion was entirely below Wall Street and buy-side forecasts. The core issue is that for every $1 earned by AWS, nearly $4 in new spending is tied to it.

Hedge funds are amplifying the risks of tech stocks!

Hedge funds are quietly making a risky strategic shift—from shorting individual stocks to shorting indices. This transition is accelerating the rise in stock correlations, and the “anti-leverage” buffer that once dampened volatility is disappearing. According to Goldman Sachs data, funds’ short exposure to indices and ETFs has reached a ten-year high. The VIX faces the risk of disorderly surges, and vulnerability to deep stock price declines is quietly accumulating.
