As of 4/26/2026, we hodl 818,334 $BTC acquired for ~$61.81 billion at ~$75,537 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/HnXQ1OY6Yv — Michael Saylor (@saylor) April 27, 2026 The company’s cumulative Bitcoin position has reached 818,334 BTC. Strategy has invested roughly $61.81 billion to build this reserve at a weighted average cost basis of $75,537 per token. Saylor additionally disclosed that Strategy’s Bitcoin Yield—a company-specific measurement that tracks Bitcoin accumulation against shareholder dilution—climbed to 9.6% for the 2026 year-to-date period. This represents an uptick from the 9.5% figure recorded one week earlier. Strategy Inc, MSTR Funding for this acquisition came through the company’s $21 billion Class A common stock at-the-market offering program. Strategy liquidated 1.45 million Class A shares to generate capital for the Bitcoin purchase. No preferred equity was issued during the April 20–26 timeframe. With 818,334 Bitcoin secured in its treasury, Strategy now commands approximately 3.9% of Bitcoin’s hard-capped supply of 21 million tokens. This positions the company ahead of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, which maintains holdings of roughly 802,823 BTC. Strategy’s Bitcoin stockpile represents over 60% of all Bitcoin held by publicly listed corporations worldwide. Saylor has publicly articulated ambitions to eventually control between 5% and 7% of Bitcoin’s total supply—indicating significant accumulation remains ahead. The corporation has established considerable capital-raising infrastructure to pursue these objectives. During March 2026, Strategy registered dual $21 billion ATM programs covering both MSTR common shares and STRC preferred stock, alongside a $2.1 billion program for STRK preferred equity. Combined, these mechanisms provide $42 billion in potential capital. MSTR shares were priced at $172 during current trading, reflecting approximately 12.55% appreciation for the 2026 year-to-date period. However, extending the timeframe to 12 months reveals a more challenging performance—the stock has declined roughly 47.5% to 51% over that span. Shares experienced particularly pronounced volatility between July and December 2025. The stock dropped 16.78% during August, shed 16.36% in October, and plummeted 34.26% throughout November. Despite recent turbulence, MSTR has delivered approximately 134.9% returns over a five-year horizon. Separately, Strive, another corporate Bitcoin accumulator, announced Monday it acquired 789 BTC for $61.43 million at an average price of $77,890 per token. Strive’s aggregate holdings now stand at 14,557 Bitcoin, carrying a market value approaching $1.13 billion as of April 24. Saylor is slated to present at The Bitcoin Conference later this week.
