Strategy added 4,871 BTC for about $329.9 million, according to its April 6 Form 8-K filing. The company paid about $67,718 for each bitcoin. The purchase lifted Strategy’s total bitcoin holdings to 766,970 BTC as of April 5, 2026.
The latest buy kept Strategy on its steady accumulation path. It also showed how the company used share sales to fund fresh purchases. The filing gave an early look at first-quarter digital asset losses as well.
Strategy buys 4,871 BTC at a lower average price
Strategy said it bought the bitcoin at an average price of about $67,718. That price sat below its overall average purchase price of $75,644. The new purchase came in below the company’s broader bitcoin cost basis.
In a post on X, the company wrote, “Strategy has acquired 4,871 BTC for ~$329.9 million at ~$67,718 per bitcoin.” It added that total holdings stood at 766,970 BTC on April 5. The same post also referenced its listed securities, including MSTR and STRC.
The filing said Strategy spent about $58.02 billion to build its bitcoin position. That total works out to an average purchase price of about $75,644 per bitcoin. The new buy pushed the company’s bitcoin balance above three quarters of a million coins.
Strategy said the new purchase continues its bitcoin treasury plan. The company has often paired common equity with preferred stock sales. This time, STRC played a central funding role beside MSTR.
ATM share sales fund the latest bitcoin purchase
Strategy funded the latest bitcoin purchase through its at-the-market share programs. The company sold STRC preferred shares and MSTR common stock across two periods. Those sales raised about $474 million in combined net proceeds.
During the final two days of March, Strategy sold about 2.3 million STRC shares for $227 million. It also sold 583,000 MSTR shares for $72 million. The company did not buy bitcoin during that short period.
From April 1 through April 5, Strategy sold more than 1 million STRC shares for about $103 million. It also sold 593,000 MSTR shares for $72 million. About $330 million of the combined proceeds then went into bitcoin.
Strategy still has large room under its current ATM programs. The company listed about $27 billion of MSTR capacity and $22.6 billion of STRC capacity. STRK, STRD, and STRF programs also remain available, with no recent sales in STRK or STRD.
Filing shows first-quarter loss and broader market context
For the first quarter, Strategy recorded an unrealized loss on digital assets of $14.5 billion. It also recorded a deferred tax benefit of $2.4 billion. The figures remain preliminary and unaudited.
Strategy said these quarter-end figures may change in its later filings. The current numbers remain early estimates for now. The company used the 8-K filing to update investors before its full quarterly results.
The company carried digital assets at about $52 billion at quarter end. It also reported a $1.7 billion deferred tax asset. That asset was fully reserved, according to the filing.
These numbers reflected bitcoin price moves during the quarter and the size of Strategy’s holdings. Even so, the company kept buying more bitcoin into April. Yahoo Finance data cited in the report showed MSTR shares rose before Monday’s open.
