Saylor's Strategy Buys 34,164 BTC, Lifts Holdings to 815,061

Michael Saylor's Strategy disclosed a $2.54 billion Bitcoin purchase dated April 20, 2026, taking its total holdings to 815,061 BTC, according to an SEC filing. The company bought 34,164 BTC between April 13 and April 19 at an average price of $74,395 per coin, a larger weekly addition than the prior 13,927 BTC. Strategy said it has acquired its Bitcoin for about $61.56 billion in total, putting its average cost at $75,527 per BTC—a level it identifies as roughly its breakeven based on disclosed figures. With the latest purchase, the firm's stash represents more than 3.8% of Bitcoin's fixed supply and moves its corporate treasury position above BlackRock's reported 802,823 BTC held via the iShares Bitcoin Trust. To fund continued accumulation, Strategy has relied on at-the-market equity issuance across its Class A shares and multiple preferred stock programs, including STRK, STRC, STRF and STRD, each with separate caps. The offerings support its "42/42" plan, which targets $84 billion of funding through 2027. The company recently raised $1.76 billion through STRC, a preferred issue carrying an annualized dividend rate of 11.5%, and has proposed shifting STRC dividend payments from monthly to twice monthly. Shareholders are scheduled to vote on the change June 8, with any adjustment taking effect later. In premarket trading, MSTR shares rose 1.90% to $163.35. Strategy also reported a 9.5% Bitcoin yield year-to-date in 2026, reflecting changes in Bitcoin holdings relative to shares outstanding. Critic Peter Schiff called the pace of buying unsustainable and questioned how Bitcoin prices would behave without ongoing large-scale purchases. Strategy remains the largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin, ahead of companies including MARA, Riot Platforms and Coinbase.
