On Monday, Strategy founder Michael Saylor disclosed that his bitcoin treasury firm has once again topped up its balance sheet with an additional allocation of bitcoin, staying perfectly on brand while signaling steady conviction.

According to Saylor’s Monday morning announcement, Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) now controls a total of 714,644 BTC, further cementing the firm’s status as one of the market’s most unapologetic corporate bitcoin holders. The update follows Saylor’s familiar breadcrumb trail from the day prior, when he teased the market on Sunday with the now-customary line, “Orange Dots Matter.”
Just after 8 a.m. Eastern time on Monday, Saylor laid out the specifics, writing, “Strategy has acquired 1,142 BTC for $90.0 million at $78,815 per bitcoin. As of 2/8/2026, we hodl 714,644 BTC acquired for $54.35 billion at $76,056 per bitcoin.”
Unfortunately for Strategy, the latest purchase failed to bring down the firm’s dollar-cost averaging ( DCA) basis, leaving the math stubbornly unimpressed. With BTC trading at $68,940 per coin as of 8:10 a.m., Strategy’s unrealized loss stands at $5.09 billion. For now, Strategy’s balance sheet still reflects conviction over timing, with long-term accumulation taking precedence over short-term price comfort.
Whether that patience pays off will hinge less on daily quotes and more on bitcoin’s next sustained move.
