1Whether Strategy purchased bitcoin around October 19
On October 19, the company purchased another 267 Bitcoin, bringing its holdings to 848,517 BTC. The purchase came alongside $193 million in repurchases of STRC preferred shares.
The company's Oct. 26 SEC filing established that it neither bought nor sold bitcoin during Oct. 19-25.

What to make of it
Treat Saylor's Sunday post and the 848,517 BTC headline figure as established, but do not treat claims of a specific October 19 bitcoin purchase as settled until Strategy's SEC filing for that period is checked directly.
