Strategy Director Carl Rickertsen Buys $779,395 Worth of MSTR Shares

Strategy board member Carl Rickertsen has purchased 5,000 shares of the company’s Class A common stock, investing $779,395 in an open-market transaction, according to a Form 4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Rickertsen executed the purchase at a weighted-average price of $155.8791 per share on January 12, 2026, underscoring insider confidence in the firm’s strategic positioning.

The transaction comes as Strategy — formerly known as MicroStrategy — continues to execute on its dual thesis of expanding its bitcoin treasury while maintaining its enterprise software business.

The company revealed last week that it acquired 13,627 bitcoin for roughly $1.25 billion between Jan. 5 and Jan. 11, marking its largest BTC buy since July and pushing total holdings to approximately 687,410 BTC. Insider purchases like Rickertsen’s are often interpreted by investors as a signal of executive confidence, particularly when made on the open market rather than through compensation-linked stock grants.

The director’s buy arrives amid continued volatility in both bitcoin and MSTR’s share price, which remains closely correlated with the underlying crypto’s moves.

With capital markets activity fueling treasury expansion, Strategy’s leadership continues to emphasize bitcoin accumulation as a core pillar of its corporate strategy — a stance that has drawn both bullish support and scrutiny in broader equity and crypto markets.
