Strategy’s stock began April trading near a closing low of $119 on April 2, steadily climbing throughout the month as Bitcoin prices rebounded. By April 17, the stock closed at $166.52, marking a more than 40% increase from its early-month low.

Bitcoin Price Surges Past $78,000, Accompanied by Strategy’s $2.54 Billion Purchase

This morning, the price of Bitcoin crossed the $78,500 threshold, up from an opening around $76,000, continuing a recovery trend that commenced the previous week. This surge represents an 11.1% increase from the price one month ago and marks its highest point since early February.

Strategy announced on April 20 its acquisition of 34,164 BTC between April 13 and April 19, 2026. The average purchase price was $74,395 per coin, totaling an expenditure of approximately $2.54 billion. This acquisition ranks as the company’s third-largest single purchase on record and its most substantial weekly accumulation since November 2024.

This purchase elevates Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 815,061 BTC, surpassing BlackRock’s 802,823 BTC held through its spot Bitcoin ETF products. Consequently, Strategy is now the foremost corporate holder of Bitcoin. The total cost for all current holdings amounts to roughly $61.56 billion, with an average acquisition price of $75,527 per coin.

STRC Preferred Stock Fuels Majority of Acquisition

Of the $2.54 billion procured for the latest acquisition, approximately $2.18 billion was generated from the sale of 21,795,389 shares of STRC — Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock. An additional $366 million was raised through the sale of 2,165,000 shares of MSTR Class A common stock. STRC constituted about 86% of the funding, reflecting Strategy’s declared shift away from diluting common equity.

STRC saw a record single-day trading volume of $1.156 billion on April 13, setting a new benchmark for the security. Strategy also put forth a proposal to transition STRC dividend payments from a monthly to a semi-monthly cadence, a structural adjustment intended to enhance liquidity and expedite reinvestment for income-oriented investors.

The dividend rate for STRC remained at an annual rate of 11.50% for April 2026. This marks the first month at this rate without an increase, following seven successive monthly hikes since the stock’s initial public offering in July 2025. The dividend payable on April 30 is set at $0.958333 per share. Strategy maintains $19.46 billion in available STRC capacity and an additional $26.73 billion under its MSTR common stock offering program.

Sequential Purchases by Strategy

The acquisition of 34,164 BTC followed a $1 billion purchase of 13,927 BTC, finalized between April 6 and April 12. This earlier transaction was financed exclusively through STRC proceeds, bringing the total holdings to 780,897 BTC prior to the larger acquisition the subsequent week. The accumulation over these two weeks added nearly 48,091 BTC to Strategy’s balance sheet, signifying one of the company’s most aggressive acquisition periods to date.

Earlier in 2026, Strategy also procured 22,337 BTC for $1.57 billion in March, and an additional 1,031 BTC on March 23. These were part of a persistent accumulation strategy that has continued even while Bitcoin traded below Strategy’s average cost basis for a significant portion of the first quarter. As of Q1 2026, the company reported an unrealized loss of $14.46 billion on its digital asset holdings, counterbalanced by a deferred tax benefit of $2.42 billion.
