Institutional Investors Have Purchased 64,000 Bitcoin in the Past Month

Institutional Bitcoin purchases accelerated again in April, with corporate reserves buying over 64,000 BTC in a single month. According to published data, publicly traded companies and institutional reserves added a total of 64,722 BTC in April. The net increase was approximately 57,791 BTC. Thus, April 2026 became one of the largest institutional Bitcoin buying periods since mid-2025.

According to the report, the largest purchase was made by Strategy, led by Michael Saylor. The company bought a total of 56,235 BTC in April. The majority of these purchases were funded through an ATM (market-price share sale) financing model using STRC and MSTR shares.

A particularly noteworthy capital inflow was observed on the STRC side. According to the report, STRC secured a total of $3.3 billion in financing between April 1 and May 3. This figure represents approximately 80 percent of Strategy’s total $4.1 billion in ATM financing during the same period, setting a new monthly record in the company’s history.

The data showed that institutional Bitcoin purchases in April alone approached the total net purchases of the previous two quarters, providing a strong start to the second quarter of 2026.

As of May 5th, Strategy held 818,334 BTC, while IBIT’s reserves were approximately 818,147 BTC.

The report also highlighted that companies are growing not only in Bitcoin but also in altcoin reserves. It stated that institutional companies’ total altcoin reserves amount to approximately $22 billion, with $16.2 billion of that consisting of Ethereum reserves.
