Holding 810k coins! Strategy invests $255 million to increase Bitcoin holdings
According to the 8-K filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, during the period from April 20 to 26, Bitcoin investment major Strategy (NYSE: MSTR) invested approximately $255 million to purchase an additional 3,273 bitcoins at an average price of $77,906 per bitcoin.
Strategy co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated that the company currently holds a total of 818,334 bitcoins, valued at about $63.7 billion. Since launching its Bitcoin allocation in 2020, Strategy has invested a total of approximately $61.8 billion, with an average cost basis of $75,537 per bitcoin.

Following this latest round of additional purchases, Strategy’s unrealized profit (floating gains) on Bitcoin is approximately $1.9 billion, representing about 3.9% of the total supply of 21 million bitcoins.
The funds used by Strategy to buy Bitcoin mainly come from the sale of common stock MSTR, with about 1.45 million shares sold last week, generating $255 million. As of April 26, the company still has MSTR shares worth $26.47 billion available for issuance and sale.
The company has issued four perpetual preferred stocks: STRK, STRC, STRF, and STRD, with issuance scales of $21 billion, $4.2 billion, $2.1 billion, and $4.2 billion respectively, all part of Strategy’s “42/42” fundraising plan. The goal is to raise $84 billion before 2027 through stock issuance and convertible bonds to purchase Bitcoin.
Although Strategy did not sell any perpetual preferred stocks last week, STRC has recently become the main engine for Strategy’s Bitcoin funding. STRC is a floating-rate, monthly-distributing cumulative preferred stock, with a dynamic interest rate designed to keep its price close to a face value of $100. Currently, STRC offers an annualized yield of up to 11.5%, attracting a large amount of institutional capital seeking stable returns.
To further boost STRC’s popularity, Strategy previously proposed a dividend restructuring plan, aiming to increase the dividend frequency from “monthly” to “twice a month.” The company stated that this change would not only shorten the time for investors to receive and reinvest dividends but also improve market liquidity and pricing efficiency, further stabilizing the stock price.
