Strategy Inc. has added another tranche of Bitcoin to its already massive corporate treasury, continuing its role as the undisputed leader among public companies in the digital asset space.
In its latest Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 8-K, the company announced the acquisition of 4,871 Bitcoin (BTC), purchased for approximately $329.9 million, at an average price of $67,718 per coin. This brings its cumulative holdings to 766,970 Bitcoin, bought for approximately $58.02 billion, with an overall average acquisition cost of roughly $75,644 per coin.
The purchase comes after a rare pause the prior week, when the company ended a 13-week consecutive buying streak by acquiring no new Bitcoin between March 23 and March 29. That break followed an intense accumulation phase in March, during which Strategy added more than 45,000 BTC overall—including a massive 22,337 BTC haul for about $1.57 billion in the week of March 9–15 and 17,994 BTC for roughly $1.28 billion earlier in the month.
The most recent buy before the pause was a more modest 1,031 BTC for about $77 million, which was announced on March 23, 2026.
Strategy’s funding continues to rely on a combination of at-the-market equity offerings, including common stock sales and the company’s innovative “Stretch” (STRC) perpetual preferred shares.
In late March, Strategy outlined plans for up to $42 billion in additional capital raises through these programs to fuel further accumulation. The firm has signaled ambitions to reach 1 million Bitcoin by the end of 2026, a goal that would require hundreds of thousands more coins and sustained access to fresh capital.
Rebranded from MicroStrategy last year, the firm’s Bitcoin treasury dwarfs those of its peers. It accounts for roughly 65% of all Bitcoin held by publicly traded companies, while most rivals have sharply scaled back their own purchases amid market volatility.
Over a recent 30-day period, non-Strategy corporate buyers added just around 1,000 BTC combined.
Strategy’s Bitcoin purchases in 2026
Strategy Inc. has maintained an aggressive Bitcoin accumulation pace in the first quarter of 2026, adding nearly 94,473 BTC worth roughly $7.65 billion so far this year. The figure already represents about 40% of its entire 2025 purchases despite volatile market conditions.
These accumulations have been financed primarily through at-the-market sales of common stock (MSTR) and perpetual preferred securities, with the company recently expanding its equity issuance capacity to as much as $44 billion to support continued growth.
Even with an overall average cost basis around $75,6944 per Bitcoin—currently above spot prices—Saylor and Strategy have shown no signs of wavering from their long-term thesis.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has long dismissed short-term price fluctuations, repeatedly describing Bitcoin as “digital capital” and the superior long-term reserve asset in an era of fiat debasement.
Today’s disclosure underscores the company’s unwavering commitment even as Bitcoin has faced downward pressure and its own stock (MSTR) has experienced significant swings. Investors continue to view MSTR shares as a leveraged play on Bitcoin’s long-term performance.
With the latest addition, Strategy solidifies its position as the corporate standard-bearer for Bitcoin adoption, a strategy that has sparked both admiration and debate over dilution, leverage, and the risks of such concentrated exposure.
