Strategy Buys 4,871 $BTC and Now Holds 766,970 $BTC
Strategy has acquired 4,871 $BTC for approximately $329.9M at an average price of approximately $67,718 per bitcoin. The announcement, shared by Strategy Founder and Chairman Michael Saylor, confirms the latest weekly Bitcoin purchase as part of the company’s established treasury strategy.
As of April 5, 2026, the company holds 766,970 $BTC, which it acquired for approximately $58.02B at an average purchase price of approximately $75,644 per bitcoin.
The purchase shows the company’s unwavering commitment to its Bitcoin-first treasury policy, treating $BTC as the superior long-term reserve asset over cash or traditional holdings.
Funded via Market Equity Sales of STRC and MSTR Shares
Strategy funded its Bitcoin purchase primarily through market equity sales under its at-the-market (ATM) offering program, selling shares of its common stock ($MSTR) and variable-rate preferred stock ($STRC).
According to the company’s Form 8-K filing, Strategy sold 1,027,255 shares of STRC Stock, generating net proceeds of $102.6M, along with 593,294 shares of MSTR Class A Common Stock, which added another $72.0M in net proceeds.
Earlier sales in late March, including an additional $227.3M net from STRC Stock, brought the total capital raised in direct support of Bitcoin purchases to approximately $329.9M, precisely matching the cost of the 4,871 $BTC acquired that week.
What’s The Broader Market Impact?
Strategy’s move strengthens Bitcoin’s image as a strategic reserve asset during fiat uncertainty and geopolitical risks. By buying 4,871 $BTC using equity sales instead of debt, the company presents a cleaner model for institutions. This approach may encourage corporations and funds to add Bitcoin to their treasuries.
The accumulation also boosts demand for $BTC while positioning the stock as indirect Bitcoin exposure. Investors see capital flowing directly into scarce digital assets, supporting bullish sentiment.
Continued buying creates a flywheel effect, increasing enterprise value and attracting new capital. The move reinforces Bitcoin’s growing role as a long-term reserve asset.
