Last week, when Bitcoin went over $77,000, Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the biggest public Bitcoin holder in the world, added additional Bitcoin to their holdings. According to a Monday 8-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Strategy purchased 3,273 Bitcoin for $255 million from April 20th to the 26th.
The cost basis for Strategy was raised to $75,537, with the purchases being completed at an average price of $77,906 per coin. Acquired for around $61.8 billion, the corporation now has 818,334 BTC. According to CoinGecko, the assets were worth over $63.6 billion at the time of writing.
Pace Signals Aggressive 2026 Target
Unlike Strategy’s third-largest buy to date, which included 34,164 Bitcoin, the most recent transaction did not depend on STRC, the perpetual preferred security of the corporation. All of the $255 million obtained for the acquisition came from the sale of 1.45 million shares of Strategy’s Class A common stock (MSTR), as stated in the SEC filing.
Prior to this week, tracker STRC Live had seen a lack of activity from STRC, indicating that no Bitcoin transactions were associated with the security.
On Sunday, Strategy co-founder Saylor shared a graphic showing the business’s Bitcoin buy history, which shows 107 total purchase occurrences since 2020. This suggests that the company will continue increasing its holdings. While BlackRock owns around 812,300 BTC on behalf of its customers, Strategy has topped them with 818,334 BTC. Wallet Pilot data shows that this amount is still lower than the aggregate holdings of crypto fund issuers, which amount to around 1.32 million BTC.
Strategist and Bitcoin supporter Adam Livingston claims that the firm is on pace to amass 1.2 million BTC by year’s end 2026, putting it in a position to acquire 381,666 more BTC. With an average of around 36,137 BTC collected per month, Strategy has amassed 144,551 BTC so far this year.
