Last week, Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), the world’s largest publicly listed holder of Bitcoin, added 13,927 BTC to its already huge stash. This cost about $1 billion and brought the company tantalizingly near to the 800,000 BTC milestone. An 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday revealed the purchase. The company’s total holdings now stand at 780,897 BTC, which cost them a total of $59.02 billion.
The most recent batch was bought for an average price of $71,902 each coin, which is again less than the company’s overall average acquisition cost of $75,577 per Bitcoin BTC/USD. Strategy only needs 19,103 more BTC to reach the 800,000 mark. They have already collected more than 107,000 BTC in 2026 alone.
Funded by Preferred Equity, Not MSTR Stock
The billion-dollar deal was paid for wholly with Strategy’s Stretch (STRC) permanent preferred equity instrument, not by selling its Class A common shares. During this time, the company sold 10 million STRC shares, which brought in almost $1 billion in net income. During the week, no shares of MSTR, STRF, STRK, or STRD were sold.
According to STRC.live, last week saw the second-largest weekly STRC issuance ever, over three times the four-week average. This shows how quickly Strategy is using its preferred equity mechanism to raise money to buy Bitcoin.
Saylor’s Signature Tease
As usual, founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor hinted at the purchase before it was made public by posting a mysterious message on X that included a chart of Strategy’s Bitcoin acquisition history, which shows that they have made 105 purchases since 2020. His followers have come to see this pattern as a sign that new buy announcements are coming.
Stragegy’s Mounting Losses, Undimmed Conviction
Even though Strategy recorded $14.46 billion in unrealized losses on its digital asset holdings for the first quarter of 2026, the purchasing spree continues. This shows how much risk the corporation is taking on as Bitcoin’s price continues to change. Last week, the cryptocurrency went back up to $70,000 when the U.S. and Iran established a ceasefire. However, it lost some of its gains over the weekend when talks fell down and a naval blockade was launched, bringing Bitcoin back down to $71,000.
Nomura’s Laser Digital said that Strategy’s ongoing purchase was one of the main reasons why Bitcoin’s price has gone up recently, coupled with $786 million in inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs at the same time.
Strategy (MSTR) Stock Performance and Analyst Outlook
On Monday, MSTR shares closed at $132.11, up 2.7% from the previous day and more than the S&P 500’s 1.02% increase. The price went up to $134.86 after-hours trading. Even while the stock went up in value for one day, it is still down about 59% over the past six months, which is in line with the overall pressure on stocks that are linked to Bitcoin.
Analysts think that Strategy will announce an EPS of -$3.41 for the next quarter. For the whole year, the average estimate is earnings of $107.99 per share, which is an incredible 809% increase from the previous year, and revenue of $496.4 million. The stock is now trading at a forward P/E of only 1.19, which is a big discount from the industry average of 11.86.
In a different announcement, director Jarrod M. Patten sold 1,900 shares on April 9 for around $248,000. At the same time, he used options to buy the same number of shares, which had no effect on his overall position.
