Michael Saylor’s Strategy has added another 13,927 bitcoin to its balance sheet, spending roughly $1 billion during the week of April 6 to April 12. The company paid an average of $71,902 per BTC for the latest purchase, according to Strategy’s published holdings data and Saylor’s public update on April 13.
That takes Strategy’s total bitcoin holdings to 780,897 BTC, acquired for about $59.02 billion at an average cost basis of $75,577 per coin. At the current bitcoin price of about $71,167, the company’s stack is worth roughly $55.6 billion.
The latest buy means Strategy now controls about 3.72% of Bitcoin’s maximum 21 million supply, further cementing its position as the largest public company holder of BTC.
This purchase stands out not just for its size, but for how it was funded. Reports tied to the filing say Strategy used proceeds from sales of its STRC preferred stock through an at-the-market program, rather than tapping its MSTR common stock issuance this time. That suggests the company is continuing to widen the financing tools behind its Bitcoin treasury strategy instead of relying on a single playbook.
Saylor also said the company has achieved a 5.6% BTC Yield year-to-date in 2026, a metric Strategy uses to track the growth of bitcoin exposure per diluted share. It is one of the firm’s preferred ways to frame performance for shareholders, especially as it keeps expanding its bitcoin reserves in volatile market conditions.
The timing is notable. Strategy had only recently resumed buying after a brief pause, and this new $1 billion purchase shows the company is still willing to deploy large amounts of capital even with bitcoin trading below its overall average acquisition price. That reinforces a message the market already knows well, Saylor is not trying to trade short-term swings, he is still accumulating for the long haul.
For crypto markets, the move is another reminder that institutional conviction around bitcoin has not disappeared. Strategy’s buying does not just add headline weight, it also keeps the company at the center of the corporate bitcoin narrative as other treasury models and ETF vehicles continue competing for attention.
