- Strategy bought 4,871 Bitcoin for $329.9 million, averaging $67,718 per BTC, according to a filing on April 6, 2026.
- Strategy now holds 766,970 BTC, representing about 3.8 % of Bitcoin’s circulating supply of 20.01 million coins.
- Strategy’s total Bitcoin spend is $58.02 billion, giving an all‑in average cost of $75,644 per BTC and an unrealized loss of roughly $5 billion (≈8 %) at the current price of $69,120.
- Strategy funded the recent purchase primarily through $227.3 million of sales of its STRC preferred stock, with the remaining $72 million raised by selling common stock.
- CryptoQuant reported that Strategy accumulated roughly 44,000 BTC over the prior 30 days, making it one of only two institutional channels absorbing Bitcoin supply at scale alongside spot ETFs.
- Michael Saylor announced the acquisition on X (Twitter), underscoring the company’s continued commitment to Bitcoin.
Why it matters: Strategy’s expanded Bitcoin stash cements its status as the largest corporate holder, but the $5 billion unrealized loss at current prices underscores the risk for shareholders who financed the buy‑in via preferred‑stock sales. The move also signals that institutional demand for Bitcoin remains concentrated in a handful of players.
