Bitcoin Monday morning is trading at just under $69,000, down 2.6% over the past 24 hours. MSTR shares are lower by 3.9%.

Last week's acquisitions were funded by the sale of common stock.

Given the average purchase price of $78,815, it appears Strategy made its buys on Monday or Tuesday last week, ahead of the rapid decline in bitcoin's price, which took the crypto to as low as $60,000 at one point on Thursday.
