Strategy dropped a bombshell in a fresh SEC filing. The firm scooped up 3,376 Bitcoin for $255 million on April 27, 2026. This purchase pads its massive holdings and tightens the grip on Bitcoin’s scarce supply.
Strategy tapped its at-the-market equity program to bankroll the deal. It sold about 1.45 million common shares. The cash from those sales went straight to grabbing more Bitcoin.
The move fits a pattern. Strategy keeps using stock sales to fuel its Bitcoin hunger. Investors watch closely as shares help build the crypto treasury.
This keeps the buying machine running smooth.
Holdings Surge to Record Levels
Now Strategy owns 818,334 Bitcoin in total. The firm spent $61.81 billion overall at an average price of $75,537 per coin.
That stash equals 3.9 percent of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply.
Numbers like these stun the market. Each coin adds weight to Strategy’s bet on Bitcoin as top store of value.
The total value sits above $62 billion with Bitcoin near $76,000 lately.
Sprint Through 2026 Purchases
Strategy kicked 2026 into high gear on Bitcoin buys. It grabbed 34,164 coins the week of April 20 alone. Before that, 13,927 the week prior.
Here are standout grabs this year:
- April 20 week: 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion
- April 13 week: 13,927 BTC for $1 billion
- April 6 week: 4,871 BTC for $330 million
Year-to-date Bitcoin yield hit 9.6 percent. That beats last report’s 9.5 percent. Strategy outpaces new Bitcoin mined twice over in 2026.
These buys stack up fast. The firm leads all companies in Bitcoin ownership.
| Date Range | BTC Bought | Cost | Avg Price per BTC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 20-26 | 3,376 | $255M | ~$75,600 |
| Apr 20 wk | 34,164 | $2.54B | $74,395 |
| Apr 13 wk | 13,927 | $1B | $71,902 |
Michael Saylor Drives the Charge
Michael Saylor, Strategy’s executive chairman, champions this path. He calls Bitcoin digital gold. The firm, once MicroStrategy, rebranded to spotlight its focus.
Saylor warns of supply shocks. Spot ETFs and firms like Strategy pull coins from circulation. Liquid supply shrinks as demand climbs.
This strategy lifts Strategy shares often. Investors pile in for Bitcoin exposure without direct buys.
One key fact stands out. Strategy now tops BlackRock’s IBIT ETF in holdings.
Bitcoin Market Feels the Squeeze
Corporate treasuries chase Bitcoin hard. Strategy’s moves join ETF inflows. Weekly buys yank coins from trade.
Fewer coins float as big players hoard.
This could spark price jumps. Readers holding Bitcoin see upside potential. Stock fans eye MSTR for leveraged play.
Yet risks linger. Bitcoin dips test nerves. Strategy holds firm through ups and downs.
The firm’s average buy price cushions blows. Unrealized gains run billions even in pullbacks.
Strategy’s quest reshapes how firms view money. It bets big on Bitcoin outlasting fiat woes.
As Strategy stacks higher, the crypto world shifts. This power play spotlights Bitcoin’s pull on Wall Street. One firm’s hoard now rivals nations’ reserves.
