In a landmark move for 2026, publicly-traded firm Strategy (MSTR) aggressively expanded its Bitcoin treasury by purchasing 34,164 BTC for approximately $2.54 billion. According to the official filing, it paid an average price of $74,395 per Bitcoin for this single transaction. Consequently, its total holdings have surged to 815,061 BTC, valued at over $61.56 billion.
This massive acquisition solidifies Strategy‘s position as the largest known corporate holder of Bitcoin. Meanwhile, the holding surpasses the nearly 800,000 BTC held by BlackRock’s IBIT ETF, as per external data. As it continues this aggressive strategy, the company also reported earning a 9.5% year-to-date yield.
However, news of the purchase was met with a mixed market reaction. On Monday, MSTR’s stock dropped over 2% during premarket trading. Retail sentiment remained “extremely bullish” on Stocktwits, where chatter stayed at high levels.
