# Michael Saylor 'Found More Room for Orange' as Strategy Adds 267 Bitcoin

**Strategy** (NASDAQ:MSTR) bought 267 **Bitcoin** (CRYPTO: BTC) for $22.1 million last week, extending its buying streak even as the stock battles fresh pressure from MSCI index risk.

Strategy disclosed in a Monday filing that it purchased the Bitcoin between Oct. 12 and Oct. 18 at an average price of $82,900 per coin. 

The company funded nearly the entire buy by selling 140,872 MSTR shares through its at-the-market program, covering the remaining $100,000 from cash on hand.

Total holdings now stand at 848,517 BTC, acquired for roughly $64.02 billion at an average price of $75,446 per coin.

Strategy spent far more on preferred stock than Bitcoin last week, using $193.1 million to repurchase 1.94 million shares of its STRC preferred stock. 

The board also raised the digital credit securities repurchase program from $2 billion to $3 billion, leaving $1.16 billion available after completed buybacks. 

As of Oct. 18, Strategy held $4.83 billion in its US dollar reserve and $447.3 million in additional cash, after using $45.5 million from the reserve to pay preferred-stock dividends.

### Saylor’s Weekend Posts Keep Teasing the Buys

Strategy Executive Chairman **Michael Saylor** posted on X Sunday that “we found room for more orange,” echoing a near-identical post from the Sunday before, “there’s always room for more orange,” which also preceded that week’s purchase announcement. 

As Benzinga reported, Strategy bought 250 BTC for $21.5 million the prior week, meaning Saylor’s weekend posts have now preceded two straight Monday purchase disclosures.

### Where MSTR Stands Technically After MSCI Pressure

MSTR fell 9.5% last Friday after MSCI approved rules that could exclude Strategy from its indexes, raising concerns about forced selling from passive funds tracking those benchmarks. 

The stock rebounded 2% in Monday’s premarket trading, putting it just above its 50-day EMA at $139.50, though it remains below its 20-day and 200-day EMAs at $149.71 and $152.83.

Those levels form the next resistance zone after repeated rejections at the stock’s descending trendline.

#### Key levels for MSTR:

-   $135: 100-day EMA, immediate support
-   $130: potential downside target if $134 fails
