Yahoo Finance <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/markets\/crypto\/articles\/strategy-buys-255-million-bitcoin-132400203.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">reported<\/a> that the purchase was made at an average price of $77,906 per coin and funded entirely through the sale of 1,451,601 MSTR Class A common shares via the company\u2019s at-the-market equity offering program. \u201cAs of 4\/26\/2026, we hodl 818,334 BTC acquired for approximately $61.81 billion at approximately $75,537 per bitcoin,\u201d executive chairman Michael Saylor <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/saylor\">said<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy Bitcoin Holdings Cross 818,000 BTC With April Accumulation Pace Accelerating<\/h2>\n<p>The April 27 purchase is Strategy\u2019s fourth acquisition in April alone. As crypto.news reported, the company added 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion just the prior week between April 13 and April 19, its third-largest single purchase on record. That purchase used proceeds from both MSTR stock sales and issuances of STRC, its Stretch preferred stock. The latest $255 million buy diverges from that pattern, having been funded solely through MSTR common stock sales with no STRC component. Strategy\u2019s 818,334 BTC represents 3.9% of Bitcoin\u2019s fixed 21 million supply, a concentration that Saylor has consistently framed as a long-term structural bet rather than a trading position.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Equity Funding Machine Behind Each Purchase<\/h3>\n<p>Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin accumulation model operates through a continuous cycle of equity issuance. As crypto.news documented, the company purchased 17,994 BTC for $1.28 billion in early March 2026 using proceeds from 6.3 million MSTR shares sold and 3.7 million STRC shares issued. As of the April 27 filing, $26.47 billion in MSTR shares remain available under the current program, providing significant runway for continued accumulation without needing to raise new capital facilities. The company\u2019s cumulative cost basis of $61.81 billion against a current market value of approximately $63.7 billion implies roughly $1.9 billion in paper gains at current Bitcoin prices near $77,000.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Saylor\u2019s Accumulation Pace Signals for Bitcoin Markets<\/h3>\n<p>As crypto.news tracked, Saylor argued in March that there is a systematic time delay between when Strategy buys Bitcoin and when markets price in the supply tightening that follows. Four April purchases totaling well over $3 billion in a single month represent one of the most concentrated accumulation periods in Strategy\u2019s history, arriving precisely as Bitcoin tests multi-month highs above $78,000 and spot ETF inflows hit an eight-day streak. Whether the market reprices the compounding supply removal ahead of the FOMC meeting on April 28 and 29 will be the next near-term test of Saylor\u2019s thesis.<\/p>\n<p><em>Strategy has not announced any change to its long-term target of accumulating Bitcoin toward one million BTC, and Saylor\u2019s Sunday tracker post carrying the phrase \u201cthe beat goes on\u201d has become the company\u2019s standard pre-announcement signal to markets.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strategy acquired 3,273 Bitcoin for approximately $255 million on April 27, its fourth purchase in April 2026, lifting total holdings to 818,334 BTC worth roughly $63.7 billion.
