Strategy Acquires for 2.54 Billion Dollars Pushing Total Holdings to 815061 BTC

As of April 19th, MicroStrategy (now known as Strategy) has acquired approximately 34,164 additional Bitcoins for roughly $2.54 billion; averaging a price of about $74,395 per coin. This brings their overall total of held Bitcoins to 815,061.

This acquisition represents one of the largest single week acquisitions of Bitcoin by a publicly traded entity in history. As such, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holding has reached approximately over 815,000 BTC, which includes an estimated fee associated with each transaction. With an average price paid of $75,527 per coin, Strategy has spent approximately $61.56 billion on purchasing all of these Bitcoins. For reference, Strategy now owns more than 3.88% of Bitcoin’s total supply - a percentage greater than that owned directly by any publicly-traded entity in the world - exceeding the combined value of BlackRock’s entire holdings in Bitcoin via their ETF.

Through year-to-date purchases, Strategy has purchased 64,191 BTC or approximately $4.97 Billion worth of Bitcoin. They have also reported a yield on investment (or “BTC Yield”) of 9.5% for 2026, which they use to measure how well their strategy is producing returns in relation to the performance of their shares in terms of Bitcoin.

It is significant to note that this large-scale acquisition was funded entirely using proceeds from the sale of equity securities. Specifically, Strategy raised $2.18 billion from the issuance of their STRC Variable Rate Preferred Stock and $366 million from the issuance of common stock. Strategy did not take on any new debt to finance this acquisition nor did they sell any existing Bitcoins to acquire them.

In late February 2025, Strategy was officially renamed, and at that time the name change symbolized for the first time that it is no longer a business intelligence software company that owns Bitcoin. During all of 2026, the firm has purchased Bitcoin every week as part of Executive Chairman Michael Saylor led strategy with that same purchasing frequency continuing unabated; prior weeks were notable for 13,927 BTC being purchased on April 13th and 4,871 BTC being purchased on April 6th.

Given that there remains considerable unused capacity in its equity programs, Strategy's ability to continue to accumulate Bitcoin appears to be solidified. In essence Strategy has converted itself into a listed Nasdaq Bitcoin reserve holding company. As such, numerous institutional investors worldwide have been closely watching to see if Strategy's Bitcoin reserve model works and whether other firms may ultimately do likewise.
