The company’s cumulative Bitcoin position has reached 818,334 BTC. Strategy has invested roughly $61.81 billion to build this reserve at a weighted average cost basis of $75,537 per token.

Saylor additionally disclosed that Strategy’s Bitcoin Yield—a company-specific measurement that tracks Bitcoin accumulation against shareholder dilution—climbed to 9.6% for the 2026 year-to-date period. This represents an uptick from the 9.5% figure recorded one week earlier.

Funding for this acquisition came through the company’s $21 billion Class A common stock at-the-market offering program. Strategy liquidated 1.45 million Class A shares to generate capital for the Bitcoin purchase. No preferred equity was issued during the April 20–26 timeframe.

Strategy Overtakes BlackRock’s IBIT in Bitcoin Holdings

With 818,334 Bitcoin secured in its treasury, Strategy now commands approximately 3.9% of Bitcoin’s hard-capped supply of 21 million tokens. This positions the company ahead of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, which maintains holdings of roughly 802,823 BTC.

Strategy’s Bitcoin stockpile represents over 60% of all Bitcoin held by publicly listed corporations worldwide. Saylor has publicly articulated ambitions to eventually control between 5% and 7% of Bitcoin’s total supply—indicating significant accumulation remains ahead.

The corporation has established considerable capital-raising infrastructure to pursue these objectives. During March 2026, Strategy registered dual $21 billion ATM programs covering both MSTR common shares and STRC preferred stock, alongside a $2.1 billion program for STRK preferred equity. Combined, these mechanisms provide $42 billion in potential capital.

MSTR Stock Shows 12.5% Gain YTD Despite 12-Month Decline

MSTR shares were priced at $172 during current trading, reflecting approximately 12.55% appreciation for the 2026 year-to-date period. However, extending the timeframe to 12 months reveals a more challenging performance—the stock has declined roughly 47.5% to 51% over that span.

Shares experienced particularly pronounced volatility between July and December 2025. The stock dropped 16.78% during August, shed 16.36% in October, and plummeted 34.26% throughout November. Despite recent turbulence, MSTR has delivered approximately 134.9% returns over a five-year horizon.

Separately, Strive, another corporate Bitcoin accumulator, announced Monday it acquired 789 BTC for $61.43 million at an average price of $77,890 per token. Strive’s aggregate holdings now stand at 14,557 Bitcoin, carrying a market value approaching $1.13 billion as of April 24.

Saylor is slated to present at The Bitcoin Conference later this week.
