Strategy Boosts Bitcoin Holdings to 818,334 BTC

Strategy confirmed the purchase in an 8-K filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company completed the transactions during the week ended April 24. It funded the entire acquisition through its at-the-market equity program for MSTR common stock.

The company stated that it sold common shares to finance the transaction. This approach differs from earlier purchases funded through STRC preferred shares. However, Strategy maintained its ongoing weekly acquisition schedule that began in 2020.

Strategy now holds 818,334 BTC at an average cost basis of $75,537 per coin. The company has executed more than 100 separate Bitcoin purchase events. It continues to report growth in total coins and per-share Bitcoin exposure.

Strategy’s filing detailed that the company spent about $61.81 billion in cumulative Bitcoin purchases. The company has maintained a consistent cadence despite market volatility. It has relied on structured capital programs to support acquisitions.

The company confirmed that it intends to hold the Bitcoin on its balance sheet. It has positioned Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset. Strategy has continued to disclose weekly purchase data in regulatory filings.

MSTR and STRC Support Strategy’s Funding Model

Strategy uses two public securities to finance its Bitcoin strategy. MSTR trades on Nasdaq and often reflects Bitcoin price movements. As of late April 2026, MSTR traded near $171 with a year-to-date gain of about 12%.

The stock has risen more than 50% over the past year. Over three years, it has gained nearly 500%. Strategy has used its equity strength to raise capital for Bitcoin purchases.

STRC preferred shares serve as another funding channel. The company designed STRC as a variable-rate convertible preferred instrument. It has attracted income-focused investors seeking dividend returns.

Strategy recently relied more heavily on STRC proceeds. However, this purchase used only MSTR equity through the ATM program. The company adjusts its funding mix based on market conditions.

Both MSTR and STRC have traded at premiums to the company’s Bitcoin net asset value. Strategy reports a metric called “Bitcoin yield” to measure coin growth per share. The company disclosed the latest purchase details in its April 24 filing.
