Strategy Buys $1 Billion in Bitcoin, Raises Holdings to 780,897 BTC

Strategy has once again expanded its Bitcoin treasury, disclosing that it acquired 13,927 BTC for about $1.00 billion at an average price of roughly $71,902 per coin. In the same filing, the company said it had achieved a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 5.6% for 2026 and that, as of April 12, 2026, it held 780,897 BTC in total. Strategy said those holdings were accumulated for approximately $59.02 billion at an average purchase price of $75,577 per Bitcoin.

The announcement, made through the company’s April 13, 2026 Form 8-K, shows just how central Bitcoin remains to Strategy’s corporate identity and capital allocation approach. Rather than treating Bitcoin as a side bet or a short-term treasury experiment, the company continues to position it as a core reserve asset, financing fresh purchases through its ongoing market activities and then folding those acquisitions into a rapidly growing balance sheet position. The filing makes clear that the latest Bitcoin buys were funded with proceeds from the sale of shares under Strategy’s at-the-market offering program.

The numbers are large even by Strategy’s own standards. A single weekly purchase of 13,927 BTC would be headline-worthy for nearly any other public company, but for Strategy it now reads as part of a familiar pattern: raise capital, convert a significant portion into Bitcoin, then disclose the new position in a formal SEC filing. In this latest update, Strategy also reported that the average purchase price was inclusive of fees and expenses, giving investors a clearer picture of the all-in cost of the acquisition.

Growing Bitcoin Accumulation

The company’s total holding of 780,897 BTC is especially notable because it places Strategy’s Bitcoin position on a scale that few public-market balance sheets can match. At the same time, the filing shows that the company is still actively using its at-the-market financing structure to support this strategy. During the period from April 6 to April 12, 2026, Strategy reported that it sold shares under its various programs, with the largest activity coming from STRC stock, which generated about $1.0 billion in notional value and $1.0013 billion in net proceeds. Those proceeds were then used to buy Bitcoin during the same period.

The filing also reveals that Strategy’s financing structure is broader than a single common-stock program. It lists multiple securities under its ATM framework, including STRF, STRC, STRK, STRD, and MSTR, with substantial remaining issuance capacity available across those offerings as of April 12, 2026. The company noted that the available amounts reflect the remaining capacity under both the current offerings and previously disclosed increases for STRC and MSTR. That detail matters because it shows the Bitcoin acquisition engine is tied to an evolving set of capital markets tools, not just one financing channel.

For investors watching Strategy, the announcement is likely to reinforce two competing interpretations of the company. Supporters will see discipline and conviction: a public company continuing to accumulate Bitcoin despite market volatility, using equity-linked capital formation to expand a treasury asset that management appears to view as strategically important. Skeptics, by contrast, may focus on the continuing dependence on share sales and the way the company’s fortunes remain closely linked to Bitcoin’s price path and to the market’s appetite for Strategy’s securities. The filing itself does not argue either side, but the structure of the disclosure makes the tension easy to see.

What is striking is that Strategy now reports not only the size of its holdings, but also a Bitcoin yield metric. In the April 13 filing, the company said it had achieved a BTC yield of 5.6% year to date in 2026. That sort of metric is part of Strategy’s broader effort to frame Bitcoin ownership not just as a static reserve but as a performance-driven treasury strategy. Whether investors view that framework as innovative or controversial, it has become one of the defining features of the company’s public reporting.

The scale of the purchase also gives a sense of how quickly a corporate Bitcoin treasury can change in a single reporting week. Strategy’s average purchase price for the new batch was $71,902 per BTC, which came in below the company’s overall average cost basis of $75,577 across its total holdings. That means the latest transaction added more Bitcoin at a price that was lower than the company’s long-run average, a detail that may matter to investors tracking whether recent buys are accretive to Strategy’s broader position. The filing’s numbers suggest that the company continues to manage its treasury with an eye on both volume and basis, even as it keeps enlarging the position.

For the Bitcoin market more broadly, moves like this matter because they highlight sustained institutional demand from one of the most visible corporate holders in the space. Even when the broader market is focused on short-term price action, Strategy’s filings keep drawing attention back to the underlying mechanics of accumulation: how much was bought, at what price, how it was funded, and how large the position has become. In this latest update, all four of those questions were answered in one report, and the answer was unmistakable. Strategy bought more Bitcoin, paid about $1 billion for it, and pushed its total holdings to 780,897 BTC.
