Bitcoin.com, Cointribune, Cointelegraph and Crypto.news agree that Strategy bought 1,036 BTC for approximately $81.9 million, raising its holdings to 850,364 BTC; Unchained’s coverage centers on the same filing’s $188.3 million STRC preferred-share buyback. Unchained, Cointelegraph and Crypto.news corroborate the $188.3 million repurchase figure, while Bitcoin.com, Cointelegraph and Crypto.news independently report the $81.9 million Bitcoin purchase. The sources do not contradict one another, but Unchained provides additional detail that Strategy repurchased the shares at about $99.76 each and sold none after STRC reached $100 intraday on Nov. 4, while Crypto.news alone reports $4.9 billion in dollar assets and an additional 29 BTC for Strive.

Strategy acquired 1,036 BTC for approximately $81.9 million between Nov. 2 and Nov. 8, 2026, according to an SEC filing disclosed on Nov. 9. The purchase increased the company’s 
Bitcoin treasury to 850,364 BTC, a new company record. Bitcoin.com, Cointribune, Cointelegraph and Crypto.news all report the purchase amount, cost and resulting holding.
The transaction was paired with substantial activity in Strategy’s preferred equity. Strategy spent $188.3 million repurchasing STRC preferred shares, a figure cited by Unchained, Cointelegraph and Crypto.news. Unchained reports that the company bought the shares at roughly $99.76 each and did not sell any after the stock touched $100 intraday on Nov. 4.
The coverage corroborates the filing’s two principal figures: $81.9 million for 1,036 BTC and $188.3 million for STRC buybacks. No outlet reports a conflicting amount. The differences are matters of emphasis and additional detail: Unchained focuses more closely on the preferred-share transaction, Bitcoin.com provides the acquisition dates, and Crypto.news also cites $4.9 billion in dollar assets and says Strive added 29 BTC.
The figures illustrate how Strategy is dividing its resources among Bitcoin accumulation, preferred-share repurchases and dollar reserves. The $188.3 million committed to STRC exceeded the reported $81.9 million Bitcoin purchase by more than twice as much, while Crypto.news places the company’s dollar assets at $4.9 billion. Strategy’s treasury now contains more than 850,000 BTC.
Live market data show Bitcoin at $74,653, down 1.56% over 24 hours and 3.21% over seven days, with a $1.5 trillion market capitalization. The broader crypto market is broadly down and totals $2.56 trillion, while the Fear & Greed index stands at 29, indicating Fear. In contrast, 
JUST trades at $0.145056, up 1.73% over 24 hours and 4.16% over seven days. DeFiLlama reports cash circulating supply of $130.19 million.
Strategy’s expanded treasury places additional corporate demand alongside a cautious broader market backdrop. Future filings that disclose further BTC additions, STRC repurchases or changes in dollar assets will show whether the company continues to adjust that balance, without indicating whether Bitcoin prices or Strategy’s capital allocation are likely to move in any particular direction.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹7.48M (about $74,801.00), down 1.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
