MicroStrategy holds 843,738 BTC

Strategy, the company formerly known as MicroStrategy, reported holdings of 843,738 bitcoin as of May 18, 2026, according to its bitcoin purchases page and market dashboard. The figure circulated on X on Thursday in posts about institutional bitcoin accumulation and corporate treasury strategy, including commentary tying the company’s holdings to broader adoption themes. Strategy’s own disclosures show the number is current on the company’s website, where it also lists acquisition history, average purchase price and reserve value. The 843,738-BTC figure is not a market rumor or an estimate. Strategy publishes it directly on its investor-facing pages, alongside the date of its latest reported purchase activity and a running table of prior buys. The company now describes itself as the “world’s first and largest Bitcoin Treasury Company” on its investor relations site. ### Where does the 843,738 BTC number come from? Strategy’s purchases page lists a total bitcoin balance of 843,738 and shows the latest reported date as May 18, 2026. The same page lists an average acquisition price of $75,700 per bitcoin and total acquisition cost of $63.871 billion. Strategy’s main metrics dashboard also showed 843,738 BTC on May 21, 2026, with bitcoin market data timestamped at 5:06 a.m. ET. That dashboard listed the company’s bitcoin reserve value at about $65.8 billion based on a bitcoin price near $77,999. ### Is this still MicroStrategy? MicroStrategy changed its branding to Strategy, while continuing to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker MSTR. SEC filings and the company’s investor materials now use “Strategy Inc” as the corporate name. The company’s investor relations page says it has adopted bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset. It says it uses proceeds from equity and debt financings, along with operating cash flow, to accumulate bitcoin. ### How fast did the holdings reach this level? The purchases table shows Strategy held 818,869 BTC as of May 11, 2026, before rising to 843,738 BTC as of May 18, 2026. That implies the company added 24,869 BTC in the most recent reported weekly update. Earlier entries on the same table show 818,334 BTC as of April 27 and 815,061 BTC as of April 20. The disclosures illustrate the pace and regularity of the company’s buying program rather than a single one-off purchase. ### How does Strategy describe the economics of the position? Strategy’s website says the company’s average acquisition price is $75,700 per bitcoin. At 843,738 BTC, that implies a total purchase cost of $63.871 billion, figures the company displays on its purchases page. In first-quarter 2026 results released on May 5, Strategy continued to present bitcoin-specific operating metrics tied to its treasury strategy. The company has also used SEC filings to update investors on capital-raising programs that help fund purchases. ### Why are people on X talking about it now? An X post on May 21 cited Strategy’s 843,738-BTC holding in a discussion of institutional adoption and the idea that a “sound-money” Federal Reserve chair could help bitcoin adoption. That broader claim about Fed leadership was commentary from the poster, not a statement by Strategy. The verifiable part of the post is the holdings figure itself. Strategy’s own website supports that number, and the company’s disclosures remain the primary source for tracking its bitcoin balance. ### What should readers watch next? Strategy’s next visible milestone is its next purchases-page update, where the company has recently refreshed holdings on a weekly cadence. Investors can also watch future SEC filings and investor-relations releases for any new at-the-market issuance, debt financing or bitcoin purchase disclosure tied to Michael Saylor’s company.
