Strategy Adds 4,871 Bitcoin, Pushing Holdings Near 767,000 BTC

Highlights:

• Strategy has acquired 4,871 BTC, lifting total holdings to 766,970 BTC.
• STRC preferred stock funded most of the latest $329.9 million Bitcoin purchase.
• Strategy has added nearly 94,473 BTC in 2026 alone.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy has resumed its Bitcoin buying after a brief pause. The company bought 4,871 BTC for about $329.9 million last week, lifting total holdings to 766,970 BTC. According to the Monday filing, the average purchase price was $67,718 per coin.

Strategy Adds 4,871 Bitcoin After One Quiet Week

The purchase ended a rare break in Strategy’s weekly pattern, whereby the company had paused buying between March 23 and March 29. Before that gap, the firm had purchased Bitcoin for 13 consecutive weeks. The company has now spent about $58.02 billion on Bitcoin, with the average acquisition cost standing near $75,644 per coin.

Michael Saylor signaled the move before the filing appeared. He posted “It’s a Good Friday to buy Bitcoin” on April 3. Later, he shared a portfolio chart with a back-to-work caption, hinting at another purchase before Monday’s disclosure arrived.

Bitcoin has traded below Strategy’s average cost since February. Prices have stayed under pressure after late-2025 highs above $125,000. However, Saylor has kept the same long-term message around Bitcoin, framing it as a digital capital for treasury reserves. As of this writing, BTC was exchanging hands at around $69,630, with a gain of over 3% over the last 24 hours.

The new acquisition also stirred an early stock reaction. Premarket trading shows MSTR has surged about 6% to $127 after the announcement appeared. However, the stock still sits well below its late-2025 highs.

Fresh Funding Shifts Pressure Away From Common Stock

This time, Strategy leaned mostly on preferred equity instead of common stock. According to the filing, the company raised about $227.3 million through STRC preferred share sales. It also raised about $72 million through MSTR common stock sales. Therefore, the latest purchase placed less pressure on common shareholders than earlier deals.

By using more STRC, Strategy eased some immediate concern around common stock issuance. Meanwhile, the company continued using at-the-market programs to support future purchases. In late March, it also outlined plans for tens of billions in extra capital capacity.

STRC now sits at the center of that funding strategy. The preferred shares traded near par in recent weeks and gave the firm another source of capital. At the same time, the next ex-dividend date arrives on April 15. This structure gives Strategy more flexibility as it pursues further Bitcoin purchases.

Strategy Keeps Moving Toward Its 1 Million Bitcoin Target

With 766,970 BTC, Strategy controls roughly 3.8% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply. That share keeps the company far ahead of every other public corporate holder. Non-Strategy public companies added only around 1,000 BTC over a recent 30-day stretch. 

The company has added nearly 94,473 BTC in 2026 alone. That pace supports its goal of reaching 1 million BTC by the end of 2026. However, first-quarter results showed pressure from lower market prices. Strategy reported a $14.46 billion unrealized digital asset loss and a $2.42 billion deferred tax benefit.

Despite these paper losses, management has not changed direction. Instead, Strategy continues to frame Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset. Its market value has also stayed slightly above the value of its Bitcoin holdings, with an mNAV near 1.13. As long as the premium holds, the company keeps room for more purchases.
