With the latest purchase, Strategy’s total holdings now stand at 780,897 BTC, worth over $55 billion at current market prices. The vault represents more than 3.7% of every Bitcoin that has ever existed.
How was it financed?
The strategy did not tap its Class A common stock (symbol MSTR) for this purchase.
According to recent SEC DepositThe billion came entirely from the sale of approximately 10 million shares of its variable rate preferred stock (STRC) through an at-the-market program.
The MSTR stock ATM, which still has the capacity to issue about 27 billion shares, was left untouched. Three preferred stock programs, STRF, STRK and STRD, also saw no activity and collectively held about 7.7 billion shares of additional issuance capacity.
The average price paid for this batch was around $71,902 per coin, slightly higher than the roughly $70,600 where Bitcoin was trading at the time of the announcement.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor noted that the strategy has delivered a “bitcoin return” of 5.6% so far in 2026. This metric, which the company invented to track Bitcoin growth per diluted share, has become the primary way Saylor determines shareholder value.
