April 13, 2026, witnessed a significant achievement that few aggressive STRC supporters anticipated this rapidly.
Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock — identified by the ticker STRC — recorded over $1 billion in trading volume within a single day. This figure is not accumulated over a week or a rolling average; it represents one trading session.
Remarkably, 100% of this trading volume surpassed the $100 par value threshold, indicating that every share traded was eligible to activate Strategy’s at-the-market (ATM) offering. The ATM mechanism was not merely active on Monday; it operated at its maximum capacity.
Our STRC ATM Tracker monitors this activity in real-time, and even considering the exceptional performance observed recently, today’s results are unparalleled.
Verified Figures: Last Week’s 8-K Filing Was Already Historic
Before detailing today’s events, let’s focus on the information already available, as the SEC filing submitted this morning tells a compelling story.
For the period of April 6–12, Strategy’s 8-K filing confirmed the following:
| Metric | Confirmed (8-K) |
|---|---|
| Shares Sold | 10,028,363 |
| Net Proceeds | $1.001 Billion |
| BTC Acquired | 13,927 BTC |
| Avg BTC Purchase Price | $71,902 |
| Capture Rate | 81% |
This represents $1 billion in net ATM proceeds within a single week, marking the second time STRC has achieved this milestone. The previous instance occurred during the week of March 9–15, when the program generated $1.18 billion in proceeds and acquired 16,815 BTC at an average price of $70,194.
However, what distinguishes the week of April 6–12 is the significant increase in the capture rate to 81%. For comparison, this rate was 64% the previous week (March 30–April 5), 61% the week before that, and merely 45% in early March. The upward trend is pronounced, indicating that Strategy’s execution team is becoming more assertive in capturing eligible volume, or that market conditions are facilitating this more readily. It is likely a combination of both factors.
You can access the complete confirmed weekly summary on the live STRC ATM Dashboard, which integrates 8-K data as soon as it is filed.
Today’s Session: The Billion-Dollar Monday
Now, let’s consider Monday’s performance in light of this data. Based on information from the STRC ATM Tracker recorded at 4:10 PM ET during after-hours trading:
- Volume: $1.06 billion
- % Above $100 Par: 100%
- Estimated ATM Proceeds: ~$796 million
- Estimated BTC Acquired: ~10,834 BTC
- BTC Price at Execution: ~$73,400
Take a moment to absorb this figure: an estimated 10,834 BTC acquired in a single day. The Bitcoin network mines approximately 450 BTC per day following the halving. This means Monday’s estimated acquisition represents 2,408% of the daily mining supply.
Strategy not only acquired more Bitcoin than the network produced on Monday but purchased roughly 24 times that amount.
Here is a comprehensive overview of Monday’s projections following the market close:

Consecutive Billion-Dollar Weeks and a Third on the Horizon
Looking at the broader trend, the pattern is undeniable. Here’s a comparison of the recent confirmed weeks:
| Week | Net Proceeds | BTC Acquired | Capture Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 2–8 | $377.1M | 5,315 | 45% |
| Mar 9–15 | $1.18B | 16,815 | 61% |
| Mar 30 – Apr 5 | $329.9M | 4,871 | 64% |
| Apr 6–12 | $1.001B | 13,927 | 81% |
| Apr 13 (Mon only, est.) | ~$796M | ~10,834 | 81%* |
*Based on the most recently confirmed capture rate.
The week of April 6–12 was officially a billion-dollar week. Today, a single Monday, is already on track to generate approximately 80% of last week’s total proceeds. If STRC’s trading volume maintains a similar pace through Friday, we could witness the most substantial single-week ATM execution in the program’s history.

The Significance of 100% Above Par
For those unfamiliar with the operational mechanics: Strategy’s ATM program is activated only when shares trade at or above the $100 par value. Trades below this threshold do not result in the issuance of new shares, the generation of proceeds, or the purchase of Bitcoin. The percentage of trading volume exceeding $100 is the critical factor for the entire mechanism.
On most active trading days, this figure typically ranges between 80% and 95%. On Monday, it reached 100%, meaning every share that changed hands was traded at or above par. There was no unproductive volume; the entire trading session was eligible for ATM execution.
For a stock experiencing over $1 billion in daily turnover, this market structure is exceptional. It suggests consistent institutional demand at and above par, rather than retail-driven fluctuations that briefly touch $100 before retreating. The STRC ATM Heatmap offers a detailed breakdown of this activity across 15-minute intervals throughout the trading day. On days like Monday, the heatmap appears solid, with no gaps or inactive periods.

As per the latest confirmed data, Strategy holds approximately 780,897 BTC, with an average cost basis of roughly $75,577 per coin, totaling approximately $59 billion.
The STRC ATM program itself has generated over $3.5 billion in net proceeds from its ATM offerings since its inception (separate from the $2.52 billion IPO), facilitating the acquisition of approximately 47,705 BTC through at-the-market sales.
With the current week already projected to add over 10,000 BTC from Monday’s activity alone, the lead held by Strategy over all other corporate Bitcoin holders globally continues to expand.
Interpreting the Capture Rate
For informed STRC followers, the capture rate — the proportion of eligible volume (above $100) that Strategy successfully converts into ATM proceeds — is a key metric to monitor.
Here is the recent trend:
- Early March: 45%
- Mid-March: 61%
- Late March / Early April: 64%
- Last Week (confirmed): 81%
This is not random fluctuation; it represents a deliberate and observable increase. A higher capture rate signifies that Strategy is issuing shares against a larger proportion of the available above-par trading volume. While 100% represents the theoretical maximum (as one cannot sell more shares than the market offers to buy), an 81% rate is already exceptionally aggressive by ATM standards.
For capital markets professionals, such a capture rate on a day with over $1 billion in volume implies substantial and sustained liquidity at and above par. Strategy is not artificially influencing the price; the demand is organically present.
Future Outlook
Nine consecutive trading days with ATM activity above the $100 par threshold. Two consecutive billion-dollar volume weeks confirmed by SEC filings. A single Monday that nearly matched last week’s total proceeds. And a capture rate that has nearly doubled in six weeks.
The STRC ATM is not decelerating. The data suggests it is entering a new operational phase, where billion-dollar weeks may become the norm rather than the exception.
We will continue to monitor every trading session, every 15-minute interval, and every incoming 8-K filing.
