Michael Saylor’s firm, the world’s largest public Bitcoin holder, has pushed its holdings past 800,000 BTC after a new acquisition. According to an SEC 8‑K filing, the company bought 34,164 Bitcoin for $2.54 billion between April 13 and April 19.
The purchase is the company’s third‑largest by coin count, trailing only prior buys of 55,500 BTC and 51,780 BTC in November 2024. After a $1 billion purchase the previous week that brought its balance to about 780,897 BTC, the latest addition raises total holdings to 815,061 BTC, acquired for roughly $61.56 billion in aggregate.
The newly acquired coins were bought at an average price of $74,395 each, a touch below the firm’s overall average acquisition price of $75,527.
Most of the funding for the purchase came from sales of the company’s perpetual preferred security, Stretch (STRC). The filing shows STRC generated approximately $2.18 billion—about 85.7% of the proceeds—while sales of Class A common stock (MSTR) provided $366 million.
STRC set records for at‑the‑market (ATM) sales during the period. On April 13, an ATM sale of 11.9 million STRC shares corresponded to an estimated 7,741 BTC and produced more than $1 billion in trading volume. The following day, sales of 14.4 million shares were tied to an estimated 9,364 BTC. Together, those two days account for an estimated 17,204 BTC, a 518% increase versus the four‑week average.
