<p>The <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2026/10/24/analyst-flags-three-bitcoin-price-levels-to-watch-during-pullbacks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">price moved</a> above $80,000 around midday, then fluctuated before dipping to roughly $79,500 in late afternoon. It later rebounded toward $80,700, gave back part of that increase, and returned to about $80,260.</p>
<p>Bitcoin’s market capitalization stood at $1.614 trillion, and 24-hour trading volume reached $28.303 billion. Across longer periods, market data showed Bitcoin down 2.1% over seven days and 2.7% over 14 days. Its 30-day decline was 4.6%, while its one-year performance showed a 29.3% drop.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the MSTR stock price had gained more than 2% the previous Monday, when Bitcoin moved above $82,000. The October 26 Bitcoin quote stood below that level. The earlier advance followed Strategy’s report of a 267 BTC purchase between October 12 and 18.</p>
<p>The company paid an average of $82,900 per coin, spending $22.1 million. That purchase brought its reported Bitcoin holdings to 848,517 BTC.</p>

Instead, it repurchased 2.07 million STRC preferred shares for about $204.9 million.</p>
<p>The STRC stock buyback drew on a digital credit securities repurchase authorization that Strategy expanded to $3 billion last week.</p>
<p>Strategy listed its Bitcoin holdings’ total acquisition cost at about $64.02 billion, with an average price of $75,446 per coin. Its balance-sheet update also listed a $4.83 billion USD Reserve. Additionally, Strategy reported roughly $242 million in cash alongside that reserve.</p>
