Bitcoin News: BTC Dashboard Details Early April Gain

Chairman of Strategy Michael Saylor said BTC Gain remains one of Strategy’s main measures for tracking treasury performance. He described it as the closest measure to net income under the company’s Bitcoin Standard framework.

The dashboard attached to the update showed a quarter-to-date BTC Gain of 17,585 BTC. It also placed the related dollar gain at $1,309 million.

Additionally, the Bitcoin news listed BTC Yield at 2.3% quarter to date, 5.6% year to date, and 22.8% for 2025. Also, BTC Gain was at 37,339 BTC year-to-date and 101,873 BTC for 2025. Those figures were paired with dollar gains of $2.779 billion year to date and $8.915 billion for 2025.

Bitcoin Rebound Keeps Reserve Value in Focus

At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was trading at $74,800. Based on that level, Strategy’s 780,897 BTC reserve carried a value of about $58.123 billion.

Recent Bitcoin news coverage highlighted that MicroStrategy’s holdings carry an average acquisition price of $75,577 per Bitcoin.

This figure underscores the company’s long-term strategy despite market volatility. That left traders watching to see if the Bitcoin price could remain near that level.

Bitcoin price rebounded above $74,000 drew fresh attention to Strategy’s position after earlier market weakness. As BTC prices moved to the company’s average entry level, the reserve value became a key market topic again.

Michael Saylor also posted another Bitcoin message on X as the asset regained ground. At the same time, MSTR rose 4% to $143.54 in pre-market trading after closing Tuesday up 3.82% at $137.41.

STRC Liquidity Raises Attention on Buying

Market trackers reported that MicroStrategy’s Stretch STRC ATM facility attracted over $1.76 billion in liquidity this week. The inflow underscored strong investor confidence in the company’s funding strategy.

Based on those figures, trackers said the amount could fund the purchase of about 23,934 BTC if used entirely for Bitcoin purchases.

Michael Saylor said after Tuesday’s market close that STRC generated more than $1.56 billion in liquidity. He added that the facility closed at par at $100. He added that the facility had brought in another $278 million on Monday.

Earlier this month, Strategy disclosed the purchase of 13,927 BTC for nearly $1 billion at an average price of $71,902 per coin. That buy followed a brief pause in the final week of March and extended the company’s April accumulation trend.

Meanwhile, Bhutan has reduced its Bitcoin holdings by more than 70% over the past 18 months. The country has cut reserves from about 13,000 BTC to under 4,000 BTC.

Other sovereign holders have largely maintained positions, but Bhutan has moved in the opposite direction in 2026. Mining activity in the country appears to have halted. The 2024 halving reduced rewards and increased network difficulty, thereby raising costs and making operations unsustainable.
