Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy, the largest public holder of Bitcoin<\/a>, has further cemented its position by acquiring 3,273 BTC<\/a> last week, according to an SEC filing dated April 26. The purchase, completed at an average price of $77,906 per Bitcoin, totaled $255 million and brings Strategy\u2019s total Bitcoin holdings to 818,334 BTC.<\/p>\n

The acquisition, conducted between April 20 and April 26, was funded entirely through the sale of 1.45 million shares of Strategy\u2019s Class A common stock (MSTR). This marks a departure from previous purchases where the company often tapped its perpetual preferred security (STRC) to fund Bitcoin buys. The sale of MSTR stock raised the necessary $255 million for the transaction.<\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s total Bitcoin investment now stands at approximately $61.8 billion, with a cost basis of $75,537 per BTC. As of the latest market data, the holdings are valued at roughly $63.6 billion, reflecting the ongoing price surge that has pushed Bitcoin above $77,000.<\/p>\n

While Strategy remains the largest single public Bitcoin holder, its 818,334 BTC narrowly edges out BlackRock, which reportedly holds 812,300 BTC on behalf of its clients. Nevertheless, Strategy still trails the combined holdings of crypto fund issuers, which collectively control around 1.32 million BTC, according to Wallet Pilot data.<\/p>\n

Notably, Strategy has been aggressively scaling its Bitcoin position in 2026. Year-to-date, the company has acquired 144,551 BTC, averaging 36,137 BTC per month. Bitcoin advocate and Strategy investor Adam Livingston has projected that the firm could reach 1.2 million BTC by the end of 2026, requiring an additional 381,666 BTC in acquisitions.<\/p>\n

Saylor\u2019s bullish stance on Bitcoin is no secret, and his company\u2019s relentless accumulation strategy underscores a long-term bet on the cryptocurrency\u2019s potential as a store of value. With BTC prices hovering near all-time highs, Strategy\u2019s moves are being closely watched as an indicator of institutional confidence in the asset.<\/p>\n
