The company also reported a BTC Yield of 9.4% year to date in 2026, while its buying pace slowed from earlier weeks.

Strategy Buys 535 BTC for $43 Million

Strategy acquired 535 BTC between May 4 and May 10, 2026. The company paid about $43 million for the latest Bitcoin purchase.

The average purchase price was about $80,340 per bitcoin. The new buy increased Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 818,869 BTC.

As of May 10, Strategy said it had acquired its Bitcoin for about $61.86 billion. Its average cost basis now stands near $75,540 per bitcoin.

Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced the purchase on X. The post also referenced Strategy’s 9.4% BTC Yield for 2026.

The latest Bitcoin acquisition was smaller than several earlier purchases in 2026. It followed a period of large buying activity in April.

Strategy bought 34,164 BTC for the week ending April 20. It then bought 3,273 BTC the following week, before pausing around earnings.

Bitcoin Yield Reaches 9.4% in 2026

Strategy said its BTC Yield reached 9.4% year to date in 2026. The measure is used by the company to track Bitcoin growth against its share base.

BTC Yield is not the same as investment return. It does not measure Bitcoin price gains or profit from trading activity.

The company uses the metric to show changes in Bitcoin holdings compared with assumed diluted shares. This makes it a company-specific performance measure.

Strategy has continued to use Bitcoin as its main treasury asset. Its latest purchase shows that the company remains active in the market.

The company’s total Bitcoin cost is now about $61.86 billion. Its average purchase price is below the reported market level cited near the announcement.

The latest buy also came while investors watched Strategy’s funding choices. Smaller weekly purchases may show a more measured approach to capital use.

Sale Scenarios Follow Earnings Call Comments

The latest purchase came after Strategy’s May 5 first-quarter earnings call. During the call, executives discussed cases where Bitcoin sales could occur.

Chief Executive Phong Le and Michael Saylor cited dividend payments, taxes, and convertible debt needs. These comments marked a change in public messaging.

Executives said any Bitcoin sale would need to support Bitcoin per share. They also said Strategy still expects to be a net buyer over time.

The company stated a target of buying 10 to 20 BTC for every BTC sold. That framing keeps purchases central to the company’s Bitcoin treasury plan.

Strategy’s latest 535 BTC purchase came after those comments. It shows continued accumulation, even as management named possible sale triggers.

The update places focus on Strategy’s balance sheet, BTC Yield, and treasury management. It also keeps MSTR linked closely to Bitcoin market moves in 2026.
