Strategy Buys 3,273 BTC, Holdings Top 818,334 Coins

Strategy, the Virginia-based business intelligence firm led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, purchased 3,273 bitcoin for about $255 million on April 27, 2026. The transaction averaged roughly $77,906 per bitcoin and raised the company’s total holdings to 818,334 BTC.

The company disclosed the purchase in filings on April 27 and reported a year-to-date bitcoin yield of 9.6% through 2026, up from 9.5% a week earlier. As of April 26, Strategy’s full bitcoin position had an aggregate cost of about $61.81 billion, reflecting an average cost basis of $75,537 per bitcoin.

One week earlier, Strategy reported a separate acquisition of 34,164 BTC for approximately $2.54 billion at an average price near $74,395, which increased its holdings to 815,061 BTC at that time. The April 27 purchase added another 3,273 coins to the company’s reserves.

Strategy began accumulating bitcoin in August 2020 and has completed more than 107 documented purchase events since then. The company has funded buys through equity offerings, convertible notes and preferred stock instruments.

At the time of the disclosure, bitcoin traded roughly between $93,000 and $95,000, leaving Strategy’s average cost well below spot prices and resulting in unrealized gains measured in the billions. With 818,334 BTC, Strategy holds about 3.9% of bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million coins.

Strategy’s shares trade under the tickers MSTR and STRC. The filing was released the same day Michael Saylor reached 5 million followers on X, where he posts updates about the company’s bitcoin reserves and price charts. Strategy has described its bitcoin purchases as a long-term capital allocation to hedge against currency debasement and has not indicated plans to slow purchases into the second half of 2026.
