Strategy acquired over $2.5 billion in Bitcoin., 2026/04/20 15:25:19

The company Strategy, the largest publicly traded corporate holder of the leading cryptocurrency, purchased an additional 34,164 bitcoins for $2.54 billion between April 13 and April 19. The average acquisition price was $74,395 per coin. This marks the company’s largest transaction of this kind in over a year, as reported by analysts from Lookonchain.

Following this acquisition, Strategy’s cryptocurrency reserve reached 815,061 BTC, which represents approximately 4% of the total supply of the leading cryptocurrency. 

The funding for this latest purchase was primarily secured through the sale of preferred shares of STRC (around $2.2 billion), with a partial contribution from the issuance of common shares of MSTR.

Since the establishment of its bitcoin reserve in 2020, Strategy has invested $61.56 billion in acquiring digital currency. The average purchase price per coin over the six-year period stands at $75,527. Lookonchain estimates the company’s unrealized loss at $317 million (-0.52%).

Strategy aims to finance its bitcoin acquisitions solely through the sale of preferred shares. To enhance investor interest, the company plans to revise the dividend payout schedule for its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch preferred shares. If this initiative is approved by the shareholders’ meeting on June 8, dividends will be distributed bi-monthly.

Recently, the company’s founder Michael Saylor assured that Strategy intends to continue accumulating bitcoins, despite the asset’s declining value. According to the businessman, the more capital is raised, the more BTC can be acquired — and this cycle is expected to contribute to the asset’s growth in the long run. Saylor has previously stated that his company can withstand a drop in the price of the leading cryptocurrency down to $8,000.
