Strategy makes another Bitcoin purchase as unrealized losses increase

The company’s latest purchase raised some eyebrows due to its poor timing.

Consequently, the company’s total inventory has grown to 714,644 BTC, acquired at an average price of $76,056 for a total of $54.35 billion. So Strategy’s bitcoin positions remain in the red as the asset trades below $70,000 at the time of writing.

Strategy acquired 1,142 BTC for ~$90.0 million at ~$78,815 per bitcoin. On 2/8/2026 we had 714,644 $BTC purchased for ~$54.35 billion at ~$76,056 per bitcoin. $mstrer $StrC https://t.co/4X2c81LQwm

Given the cryptocurrency’s adverse movements over the past week, the average price of $78,815 per BTC means that Strategy completed the acquisition on Monday or Tuesday. After all, the asset fell sharply in the following days and has not been traded at such high prices for a week now.

This raised some questions within the cryptocurrency community, including Satoshi Flipper, who stated that buying BTC at these levels, even with DCA, makes these purchases “extremely stupid.”

DCA all the way, but what is up with these purchase prices, they are beyond stupid.

$78k?

So the last time the price was $78,000 it was 2/2-2/3… these must be purchases made 1 week ago. https://t.co/V0LSZvS4yr

Interestingly, Strategy stock prices ended on a high the week before, skyrocketing more than 26% to $135. However, the MSTR is down almost 4% in pre-market trading today. On a monthly basis, MSTR’s price is down 14% despite Friday’s rebound.
