Saylor’s Strategy Buys 535 BTC, Total Holdings 818,869

Strategy, the Virginia-based business intelligence firm led by Michael Saylor, bought 535 bitcoin for about $43 million at roughly $80,340 per coin, bringing its total treasury to 818,869 BTC.

Saylor posted ‘Back to work’ on X on May 10, 2026, and Strategy filed a disclosure on May 11 confirming the amount, the price paid and an updated year-to-date BTC Yield of 9.4%.

The purchase raises Strategy’s total bitcoin cost basis to about $61.86 billion and leaves the company with a weighted average purchase price of roughly $75,540 per coin across its holdings.

The 535-coin acquisition is smaller than several of Strategy’s recent buys but follows the firm’s pattern of periodic purchases. Strategy began buying bitcoin in August 2020 and has recorded more than 100 separate acquisition events.

The company finances purchases through capital markets, including equity offerings and convertible note issuances, and holds bitcoin on its balance sheet through publicly traded vehicles with the ticker symbols MSTR and STRC.

At current market prices, Strategy’s weighted average cost basis remains below the $80,340 paid in the latest trade because many earlier purchases were at lower prices. The firm’s 818,869 BTC represents a portion of the roughly 21 million bitcoin that will ever exist.

No other publicly traded company is known to hold a comparable quantity of bitcoin.
