Bitcoin Holdings Update

Total Bitcoin Holdings Surpass $54 Billion in Cost Basis

According to the filing, Saylor's bitcoin assets have been amassed at a total cost of approximately $54.26 billion, with an average purchase price of about $76,052 per bitcoin, including fees and expenses.

Currently, with bitcoin trading around the mid-$70,000 range in recent trading sessions, this disclosure shows that the company’s cost basis is now closely aligned with market levels, especially after a sharp selloff over the weekend.

Saylor's aggressive accumulation strategy is seen as a strong endorsement of bitcoin as a long-term store of value, serving as a leveraged proxy for institutional investors interested in bitcoin.

Funding Acquisitions Through Share Sales

The firm noted that the bitcoin purchases were financed by proceeds from its at-the-market (ATM) share sale program.

From January 26, 2026, to February 1, 2026, Saylor sold 673,527 shares of its Class A common stock, raising approximately $106.1 million in net proceeds.

The ATM program is critical for Saylor as it continues to generate capital for further bitcoin purchases while retaining operational flexibility.

Institutional Buying Signal Amid Market Declines

This latest acquisition comes during a challenging time for crypto markets, which have experienced broad declines due to leveraged positions being liquidated, impacting both bitcoin and ether.

Despite the market downturn, Saylor has consistently pursued its strategy of buying bitcoin through both market rallies and downturns. This reflects its long-term belief in bitcoin’s growing significance in the global financial system.

As of early February 2026, Saylor’s bitcoin holdings represent one of the largest institutional treasury commitments in the digital asset universe, with an acquisition cost well below the current market price.
