  • Strategy acquired 34,164 BTC for approximately US$2.54 billion between April 13 and April 19.
  • The company now holds 815,061 BTC acquired for roughly US$61.56 billion.
  • Strategy’s treasury represents more than 3.8% of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply.

Strategy acquired 34,164 Bitcoin (BTC) for approximately US$2.54 billion (AU$3.56 billion). The company said the purchase took place between April 13 and April 19 at an average price of US$74,395 (AU$104,153) per BTC, inclusive of fees and expenses. 

Strategy disclosed the acquisition in an April 20 announcement and SEC filing, with the purchase funded through securities sales.

Treasury Scale Expands

The purchase pushed Strategy to 815,061 BTC acquired for an aggregate purchase price of approximately US$61.56 billion (AU$86.18 billion). Its average cost across the full Bitcoin treasury was US$75,527 (AU$105,738) per BTC.

That placed its holdings above 3.8% of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply, which gives the company a treasury profile unmatched by other public companies and makes its capital-market activity a major Bitcoin-market signal.

Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated on X that Strategy held 815,061 BTC acquired for approximately US$61.56 billion (AU$86.18 billion) at roughly US$75,527 (AU$105,738) per Bitcoin. 

Strategy has acquired 34,164 BTC for ~$2.54 billion at ~$74,395 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 9.5% YTD 2026. As of 4/19/2026, we hodl 815,061 $BTC acquired for ~$61.56 billion at ~$75,527 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/ifGXjMeIZH

The firm also reported a BTC Yield of 9.5% year to date in 2026, a company metric used to track Bitcoin holdings relative to diluted shares.

The acquisition is one of Strategy’s larger purchases and comes as Bitcoin remains volatile below its late-2025 highs. As Crypto News Australia reported, BTC’s recent pullback sparked over US$260 million (AU$362 million) in liquidations shortly after it was announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and Iran clarified it won’t continue any form of negotiations with the US.
