Strategy Expands Bitcoin Treasury by 13,927 BTC in $1 Billion Acquisition, Total Holdings Approach 800K
In a transaction valued at $1 billion, Michael Saylor's Strategy purchased 13,927 Bitcoin during the past week, financing the acquisition via STRC equity sales and bringing total company reserves to 780,897 BTC.
Strategy, led by Michael Saylor and recognized as the world's largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin (BTC), expanded its cryptocurrency reserves substantially during the previous week, moving closer to the milestone of 800,000 BTC in aggregate holdings.
The company purchased 13,927 Bitcoin valued at $1 billion during the week spanning April 6 through April 12, as disclosed in an 8-K regulatory filing submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission this Monday.
The acquisition was executed at a mean cost of $71,902 for each coin, representing yet another buy below the firm's overall average purchase price of $75,577.
The company's balance sheet now reflects ownership of 780,897 BTC, obtained at an aggregate expenditure of $59.02 billion. Following acquisitions exceeding 107,000 BTC during the current year, Strategy requires an additional 19,103 BTC to achieve the 800,000 BTC threshold.
Purchases funded with Strategy's STRC ATM
As detailed in the regulatory filing, the billion-dollar acquisition was financed through capital raised from Strategy's perpetual preferred equity instrument, Stretch (STRC).
During the previous week, the firm offloaded 10 million STRC shares, producing approximately $1 billion in notional value along with equivalent net proceeds. Throughout this timeframe, no shares from STRF, STRK, STRD or MSTR stock were liquidated.
Data from STRC.live indicates that STRC experienced its second-highest weekly issuance volume on record during the previous week, approaching three times the average over the preceding four weeks. Recent weeks have witnessed unprecedented share sales for this equity instrument following Strategy's modification of its sales regulations in early March.
The company's relentless Bitcoin accumulation strategy persists even as Strategy carries substantial unrealized losses on its cryptocurrency portfolio. During the prior week, Strategy disclosed that unrealized losses on its digital asset holdings reached $14.46 billion for the first quarter of 2026.
Beyond Strategy's activities, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have likewise experienced considerable purchasing activity during the previous week, with spot Bitcoin ETFs registering inflows totaling $786 million throughout the period.
Cryptocurrency markets experienced a rally at the beginning of last week subsequent to announcements of a US-Iran ceasefire, with Bitcoin recovering the $70,000 level and momentarily climbing above $73,000, based on data from CoinGecko.
In comments to Cointelegraph, Nomura's Laser Digital identified Strategy's purchasing activity as one of the primary catalysts underpinning the upward movement, in conjunction with robust inflows directed toward Bitcoin ETFs. The organization further noted that US equity markets also recovered to pre-conflict valuations, strengthening overall market momentum.
However, the weekend talks didn't go well — no agreement was made and the latest announcement of a naval blockade from April 13 triggered a sharp pullback towards $71,000.

The organization further indicated its expectation that this volatile price behavior will persist through the final moments leading up to the ceasefire deadline.
