Strategy Expands Bitcoin Holdings to 818,334 BTC with Latest $255M Purchase

2 hour ago 10 sources positive

Key takeaways:

  • Shift from preferred to equity funding signals Strategy's confidence in MSTR stock price resilience.
  • Sub-$78K average purchase price suggests institutional hedging against geopolitical uncertainty.
  • BTC yield metric undervalues dilution risk from ATM offerings for retail MSTR investors.

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has once again expanded its massive Bitcoin treasury, acquiring 3,273 BTC for approximately $255 million at an average price of $77,906 per coin. The purchase, completed during the week ending April 24, 2026, was disclosed in an SEC 8-K filing and announced by co-founder Michael Saylor.

This latest acquisition brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to a record 818,334 BTC, purchased for a cumulative $61.81 billion at an average cost of $75,537 per Bitcoin. The company has now executed over 100 separate Bitcoin purchase events since it began its aggressive accumulation strategy in 2020.

Strategy funded this latest purchase entirely through its at-the-market (ATM) equity offering of MSTR common shares, selling stock to raise the capital. This marks a shift from recent weeks when the company relied more heavily on proceeds from its STRC preferred shares. The firm reported a Bitcoin yield of 9.6% year-to-date in 2026, a key metric it uses to measure per-share Bitcoin growth.

The disclosure reinforces Strategy’s unwavering commitment to Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset despite ongoing market volatility. The company continues to maintain a consistent weekly acquisition cadence and states its intention to hold the Bitcoin on its balance sheet indefinitely. MSTR shares traded near $171 as of late April, up approximately 12% year-to-date and over 50% in the past year.
