Strategy, the Virginia-based software company turned Bitcoin treasury vehicle, disclosed on Monday that it bought 13,927 Bitcoin for roughly $1 billion during the period April 6 to April 12 using proceeds generated from its at-the-market (ATM) program.

With the latest purchase, Strategy’s total holdings now stand at 780,897 BTC, valued at over $55 billion at current market prices. The stash represents more than 3.7% of every Bitcoin that will ever exist.

How it was funded

Strategy didn’t tap its Class A common stock (ticker MSTR) for this purchase.

According to a recent SEC filing, the entire billion came from selling roughly 10 million shares of its variable-rate STRC preferred stock through an at-the-market program.

The MSTR equity ATM, which still has capacity to issue about 27 billion shares, went untouched. Three preferred stock programs, STRF, STRK, and STRD, also saw no activity, collectively retaining roughly 7.7 billion shares of additional issuance capacity.

The average price paid for this batch was around $71,902 per coin, slightly above the roughly $70,600 where Bitcoin was trading at the time of the announcement.

Executive Chairman Michael Saylor noted that Strategy has achieved a 5.6% “BTC Yield” year to date in 2026. That metric, which the company invented to track the growth of Bitcoin per diluted share, has become the primary way Saylor frames shareholder value.
