Strategy (MSTR) added to its bitcoin BTC$69,130.04 holdings, but appears to have made all its purchases before the deep price plunge in the back half of the week.

Led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, the company added 1,142 bitcoins for $90 million, or an average price of $78,815 each. Strategy’s stack now stands at 714,644 bitcoin purchased for $54.35 billion, or an average price of $76,056 each.
