Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy, the world\u2019s largest public Bitcoin holder, has blasted past 800,000 BTC in total holdings after announcing its latest purchases.<\/p>\n
Strategy acquired 34,164 Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) for $2.54 billion between April 13 and 19, according<\/a> to an 8-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.<\/p>\n The buy ranks<\/a> as Strategy\u2019s third-largest Bitcoin acquisition on record by coin count, behind purchases of 55,500 BTC and 51,780 BTC in November 2024.<\/p>\n Holding around 780,897 BTC after a $1 billion purchase<\/a> just a week ago, the company now holds 815,061 BTC, purchased for $61.56 billion.<\/p>\n The new acquisition was made at an average price of $74,395 per coin, slightly below the company\u2019s average acquisition price of $75,527.<\/p>\n Saylor had teased the purchase on Sunday<\/a>, signaling another large Bitcoin acquisition ahead of the announcement. The company also disclosed<\/a> on Friday plans to pay Stretch (STRC) dividends twice monthly. STRC is the company\u2019s perpetual preferred security.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we were to move forward with paying STRC semi-monthly, we would be in category one, the only preferred in the world that pays semi-monthly dividends. We think this is unique and attractive,\u201d Strategy CEO Phong Le said.<\/p>\n Related: <\/strong><\/em>Bitmine ramps up Ether buys, pushes holdings toward 5% of total supply<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Similar to a few recent acquisitions, the majority of Strategy\u2019s latest purchase has been funded through STRC.<\/p>\n According to the filing, STRC generated $2.18 billion, or about 85.7% of total proceeds, while sales of Class A common stock (MSTR) contributed $366 million.<\/p>\n Last week marked several new records for STRC, including the company\u2019s largest single-day buying spree through its at-the-market, or ATM, program.<\/p>\n On April 13, STRC set<\/a> a new estimated daily record of about 7,741 BTC, based on the sale of 11.9 million shares through its at-the-market, or ATM, program, generating more than $1 billion in trading volume, according to STRC Live.<\/p>\n The stock set another record the following day, with an estimated<\/a> 9,364 BTC tied to 14.4 million shares sold through its at-the-market, or ATM, program.
