Strategy resumed its Bitcoin buying after a one-week pause, picking up nearly 5,000 coins below its average cost basis as prices remain under pressure.

Strategy has acquired 4,871 Bitcoin for approximately $329.9 million, at an average cost of $67,718 per coin, according to a new SEC Form 8-K filed April 6. The purchase brings the company’s total holdings to 766,970 BTC, bought for a combined $58.02 billion at an average price of roughly $75,644 per bitcoin.
The move ends a brief interruption in what had been a 13-week consecutive buying streak. Strategy had acquired no Bitcoin during the week of March 23–29, following an intense accumulation phase earlier in March that included a $1.57 billion purchase of 22,337 BTC in a single week. The latest buy came in far more modest but signals the company’s intent to continue.

Bitcoin has been trading under pressure in recent weeks, retreating from its October 2025 peak near $126,000 to around $67,300 as of early April. That puts the current spot price below Strategy’s average acquisition cost, a position the company has navigated before. When bitcoin briefly fell below its cost basis in early February 2026, the firm faced no forced selling, thanks to $2.25 billion in cash reserves and over 700,000 unencumbered coins.
The funding behind Strategy’s latest purchase continues to come from at-the-market equity offerings and its expanding suite of perpetual preferred shares, including the STRC (“Stretch”) instrument, which carries a variable dividend now set at 11.50%. In late March, the company outlined a plan to raise up to $42 billion through these programs to fuel further accumulation.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has publicly set a target of 1 million Bitcoin by the end of 2026 — a goal that would require acquiring roughly 233,000 more coins from current levels. With roughly 65% of all publicly traded corporate Bitcoin already under Strategy’s control, the scale of that ambition is hard to overstate.
