Strategy, a Virginia-based business intelligence firm, disclosed on April 27, 2026, its latest significant acquisition of Bitcoin, further cementing its position as a leading corporate holder of the digital asset. During the week ending April 26, the company purchased 3,273 Bitcoin for $255 million. This acquisition brought Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive 818,334 BTC, valued at approximately $63.7 billion at prevailing market prices. The purchase was executed at an average price of $77,906 per Bitcoin and was funded through the sale of 1.45 million shares of its Class A common stock via its at-the-market (ATM) equity program.

The company also reported an update on its proprietary Bitcoin Yield metric, which reached 9.6% year-to-date 2026, an increase from the 9.5% disclosed in the prior week. This metric gauges the percentage change in the ratio between Bitcoin holdings and assumed diluted shares outstanding, offering insight into Strategy’s efficiency in acquiring Bitcoin relative to shareholder dilution. Strategy’s cumulative Bitcoin position now carries an average acquisition cost of $75,537 per coin, representing a total investment of $61.81 billion.

With 818,334 Bitcoin in its treasury, Strategy now controls nearly 4% of the cryptocurrency's fixed 21 million supply cap, specifically owning approximately 3.9%. This latest acquisition has pushed Strategy’s holdings beyond those of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which holds around 802,823 BTC. Furthermore, Strategy’s Bitcoin reserves account for over 60% of all Bitcoin held by publicly traded companies worldwide, solidifying its status as the dominant corporate holder of the digital asset. This consistent accumulation aligns with Executive Chairman Michael Saylor’s stated goal of acquiring between 5% and 7% of the total Bitcoin supply.

The $255 million acquisition was financed exclusively through Strategy’s $21 billion Class A common stock ATM program, with no preferred stock issuance occurring during the April 20-26 period. In March 2026, Strategy had established dual $21 billion ATM programs for both MSTR common stock and STRC preferred stock, alongside an additional $2.1 billion program for STRK preferred shares, providing the firm with a substantial $42 billion in total capital-raising capacity. The common stock ATM program offers Strategy the flexibility to sell shares into the market gradually without requiring traditional equity offerings, thereby providing a consistent funding channel for its ongoing Bitcoin acquisition strategy.

Strategy’s Class A common stock (MSTR) was trading at $172 at the time of writing, reflecting a year-to-date gain of approximately 12.55%. However, the shares have experienced a significant decline of roughly 47.5% to 51% over the trailing 12-month period, underperforming Bitcoin’s price movement during the same timeframe. The stock recorded consistent monthly losses from July through December 2025, including notable declines of 16.78% in August, 16.36% in October, and 34.26% in November. Despite this recent volatility, MSTR shares have delivered impressive returns of approximately 134.9% over the past five years. Michael Saylor, Strategy’s Founder & Executive Chairman, is scheduled to speak at The Bitcoin Conference later today and this week.
