MicroStrategy Stock Gains Amid New Investment

The Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), a $142 billion investment manager, has revealed a new stake in MicroStrategy. According to a recent filing, it bought 1.38 million shares for $219 million.

It is the fund’s first known investment in a BTC treasury company, which provides them with indirect exposure to Bitcoin (BTC). Also, the investment comes just on the heels of the Bitcoin Conference 2026, which makes it notable for the BTC maximalists.

AIMCo joins a slew of institutional investors in accumulating MicroStrategy shares. In April, Capital Group boosted its holdings through its American Funds Fundamental Investors (ANCFX) fund.

Per latest filings, the fund added 4.32 million shares (or around $747 million) to its holdings. This brought its total shareholdings to over 10.33 million shares, worth nearly $1.7 billion at the current MSTR stock price.

Meanwhile, index funds are also ramping up. This month, Vanguard Group also boosted its holdings of MicroStrategy, acquiring more than 1.2 million shares.

This purchase doubled its MSTR stake to over 2 million shares. The holding is currently worth some $337 million and carries a weight of 0.73% in its VOE ETF.

MicroStrategy (MSTR) Stock Price Performance

Amid the large-scale accumulation of MicroStrategy shares, the MSTR stock price gained significantly. The MSTR stock increased by 4.77% to $165.73 in the intraday session on Thursday, April 30.

Still, the MicroStrategy shares have recorded a drop of 7% in the last five days. Nonetheless, the month-long performance shows a surge of over 32% for MicroStrategy.

Analysts are watching the $170 level after the Bitcoin Conference 2026 ended. As reported earlier by The Coin Republic, the MSTR stock price must sustain above the $170 level to mark further upside.

Also, Saylor has offered his bullish take on Bitcoin’s future during his speech at the event. He explained the role of digital credit in this scenario, which could aid in the Bitcoin rally.

About Saylor’s Bitcoin Buying Spree

The institutional buying spree comes at a time when MicroStrategy is continuing to buy Bitcoin. Under the leadership of Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, the company has continued to buy at a steady pace in April.

MicroStrategy’s latest purchase on Monday, April 27, involved 3,273 BTC, worth around $255 million. The stack was acquired at an average cost of nearly $77,907 per BTC.

However, it marked a 90% decline from the $2.54 billion BTC purchase on April 20. According to company records, the company now owns 818,334 BTC, purchased for $61.81 billion.

The company has previously disclosed a 9.6% year-to-date Bitcoin yield. Also, it maintains a lead over BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF, which holds around 810,077 BTC in its reserve.
