Strategy added 13,927 bitcoin in the week ended April 12, lifting its corporate stash to 780,897 coins. (strategy.com) The company said it spent about $1.001 billion on the purchase, paying an average of $71,902 per bitcoin. Its reported average purchase price across all holdings is now $75,577 per coin, with total acquisition costs of about $59.018 billion. (strategy.com) The buying pace has accelerated in 2026. Strategy reported 673,783 bitcoin on January 5 and 780,897 bitcoin on April 13, an increase of 107,114 coins in just over three months. (strategy.com) Strategy measures that campaign with a company metric called “BTC Yield,” which tracks bitcoin per assumed diluted share rather than the coin’s market price. The company’s purchases page shows 5.6% year-to-date BTC Yield as of April 13, after 3.7% a week earlier. (strategy.com) The money is not coming from spare cash on the balance sheet alone. Strategy has been raising funds through repeated sales of stock and preferred stock, then recycling those proceeds into more bitcoin. (sec.gov) That financing playbook has widened beyond the common stock that powered earlier rounds of buying. A March 23 prospectus supplement shows Strategy launched new offerings tied to perpetual preferred shares, adding another source of capital for future bitcoin purchases. (strategy.com) The company now describes itself as “the world’s first and largest Bitcoin Treasury Company,” a shift from its older identity as a business software maker. Its investor relations page says bitcoin is its primary treasury reserve asset and that it uses equity, debt financings, and operating cash flow to accumulate more. (strategy.com) Supporters treat the stock as a leveraged bitcoin vehicle wrapped in a Nasdaq listing. Critics have argued in securities filings and market coverage that the model depends on continued access to capital markets and leaves shareholders exposed to bitcoin volatility as well as dilution from new share issuance. (sec.gov, theblock.co) For now, the company is still doing the same trade at larger scale: sell securities, buy bitcoin, report the new total, and come back the next week with a bigger number.
