Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest public Bitcoin holder, has surpassed 800,000 BTC after announcing a fresh buy. Strategy purchased 34,164 Bitcoin (BTC) for $2.54 billion between April 13 and 19, according to an 8‑K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The purchase ranks as Strategy’s third‑largest by coin count, behind 55,500 BTC and 51,780 BTC bought in November 2024. After a $1 billion purchase the prior week that left the firm with roughly 780,897 BTC, Strategy’s total holdings now stand at 815,061 BTC, acquired for about $61.56 billion.
The latest coins were bought at an average price of $74,395 each, slightly below Strategy’s overall average acquisition price of $75,527.
Strategy funded the majority of the purchase through its perpetual preferred security, Stretch (STRC). The filing shows STRC generated $2.18 billion—about 85.7% of proceeds—while sales of Class A common stock (MSTR) contributed $366 million.
STRC set records for ATM sales during the period. On April 13, STRC’s sale of 11.9 million shares via its at‑the‑market program corresponded to an estimated 7,741 BTC and generated over $1 billion in trading volume. The following day, sales of 14.4 million shares were tied to an estimated 9,364 BTC. Combined, the two days accounted for an estimated 17,204 BTC, a 518% increase versus the four‑week average.
