MicroStrategy buys 3,273 BTC ($255M)

Strategy said on April 27 it bought 3,273 bitcoin for about $255 million, extending the software company’s long-running shift into a bitcoin treasury. (sec.gov) The purchase was funded by selling 1,451,601 Class A shares through the company’s at-the-market stock program during the week of April 20 to April 26. (finance.yahoo.com) (sec.gov) Strategy said it paid an average of $77,906 per bitcoin, including fees and expenses. Its total holdings rose to 818,334 bitcoin as of April 27. (strategy.com) Those 818,334 bitcoin were acquired for about $61.814 billion at an average cost of $75,537 per coin, according to the company’s running holdings table. (strategy.com) The company, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has turned repeated stock issuance into a standing source of cash for bitcoin purchases rather than treating the cryptocurrency as a side investment. (sec.gov) (strategy.com) That approach has accelerated in April. Strategy’s purchases page shows buys of 4,871 bitcoin on April 6, 13,927 on April 13, 34,164 on April 20, and now 3,273 on April 27. (strategy.com) The company also said its year-to-date “bitcoin yield,” a metric it uses to track bitcoin growth relative to diluted shares outstanding, reached 9.6% in 2026. (strategy.com) (coindesk.com) Bitcoin was trading around $76,291 on April 28 afternoon data from Yahoo Finance, leaving Strategy’s latest purchase price slightly above the market level a day later. (finance.yahoo.com) Michael Saylor has framed the campaign as a path toward owning more of a fixed-supply asset, and the latest filing leaves Strategy still buying even after its holdings climbed above 818,000 bitcoin. (coindesk.com) (strategy.com) For now, the new filing shows the same pattern as the earlier ones: sell stock, buy bitcoin, update the total, repeat. (sec.gov) (strategy.com)
