Strategy Buys Another $258.8M in Bitcoin, Holding Now Over 2.5% of Total Supply
According to a Monday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the firm purchased an additional 3,459 BTC between April 7 and April 13 for a total of $258.8 million, averaging $82,618 per token.
This brings Strategys total holdings to 531,644 BTC, worth over $45 billion at current prices. The companys average purchase price sits at $67,556 per coin, amounting to a total investment of roughly $35.9 billion, including fees and expenses.
Thats more than 2.5% of BTCs total 21 million supply.
No Tariffs on Orange Dots
Strategy co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor teased the move over the weekend on social media, updating the companys BTC tracker and posting, No tariffs on orange dots, a reference to Bitcoins price chart and recent global trade tensions.
The acquisition comes amid renewed bullish momentum for Bitcoin, which rebounded above $84,000 following President Trumps tariff pause announcement. The move also signals continued institutional confidence in Bitcoins long-term trajectory, especially as Strategy continues to aggressively accumulate and hold a historically large portion of the total BTC supply.
Funded by Stock Sales
The latest BTC acquisition was funded through the sale of 959,712 shares of Strategys class A common stock ($MSTR), generating approximately $285.7 million in proceeds.
As of April 14, Strategy still has $2.08 billion worth of $MSTR shares available for future issuance under the current offering program. No shares of Strategys preferred stocks, $STRK or $STRF, were sold last week. However, the firm retains $20.97 billion worth of $STRK shares available to fund future bitcoin purchases.
The firms bold approach is part of its long-term 21/21 plan, which outlines a goal to raise $42 billion via equity and fixed-income securities to acquire BTC as a strategic reserve asset.
