Strategy, the largest public holder of Bitcoin, has announced a new large-scale cryptocurrency purchase, increasing its reserves to record levels.

New Investments and Portfolio Growth
From April 20 to April 26, 2026, Strategy acquired 3,273 BTC for a total of approximately $255 million. According to a document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the average price of Bitcoin during this purchase was $77,906. This raised the average value of the company’s total Bitcoin portfolio to $75,537 per coin.
After the latest transaction, the total amount of Bitcoin owned by Strategy reached 818,334 BTC, which the company acquired for approximately $61.8 billion. As of today, the market value of these assets is estimated at $63.6 billion.
Funding the Purchase and Strategic Moves
Unlike previous large-scale investments, this time the company did not use STRC (Strategy Variable Rate Perpetual Stretch Preferred Shares Series A) instruments. The current purchase was financed through the sale of 1.45 million Class A common shares (MSTR), which raised the same $255 million.
It is worth noting that just before, from April 13 to April 19, Strategy had already made one of the largest deals in its history, purchasing 34,164 BTC. At that time, part of the funding was raised through STRC, but this mechanism was not used during the latest purchase.
Co-founder Michael Saylor recently hinted at new acquisitions by publishing a chart of investment dynamics. Since the beginning of 2026, Strategy has added more than 144,000 BTC to its reserves, averaging about 36,000 BTC per month.
“Since the beginning of 2026, Strategy has already acquired 144,551 BTC, averaging about 36,000 BTC per month.”
Currently, Strategy even surpasses the financial giant BlackRock, which manages approximately 812,300 BTC through its cryptocurrency funds. However, the total amount of Bitcoin held in reserve by various crypto fund issuers is estimated at 1.32 million BTC.
Market analysts expect further growth in Strategy’s assets. Investor Adam Livingston predicts that the company could increase its reserves to 1.2 million BTC by the end of 2026, which means it will need to acquire over 380,000 Bitcoins in the coming months.
Previously, economist Peter Schiff criticized Strategy’s yield model amid the issuance of STRC, but the company continues to adhere to its chosen strategy of large-scale cryptocurrency accumulation.
