Key Points

Strategy acquired 24,869 BTC for approximately $2.01 billion at an average price of about $80,985 per Bitcoin.
The company now holds 843,738 BTC purchased for roughly $63.87 billion, representing more than 4% of Bitcoin’s total supply cap.
Strategy also reported a 12.6% BTC Yield year-to-date in 2026 as it continues expanding its Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy.

Strategy has announced another massive Bitcoin acquisition as the company continues aggressively expanding its corporate treasury. According to the latest disclosure, the firm purchased 24,869 BTC for approximately $2.01 billion between May 11 and May 17.

The company acquired the Bitcoin at an average price of roughly $80,985 per BTC. Following the purchase, Strategy now holds a total of 843,738 BTC acquired for approximately $63.87 billion at an average cost basis of around $75,700 per Bitcoin. The latest purchase further strengthens Strategy’s position as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder.

Strategy’s Bitcoin Treasury Continues Expanding

With 843,738 BTC now under its control, Strategy holds more than 4% of Bitcoin’s maximum 21 million supply. At current market prices, the company’s Bitcoin treasury is worth over $65 billion.

The scale of its holdings continues to separate Strategy from every other publicly traded company involved in accumulating Bitcoin. The firm’s aggressive accumulation strategy has also continued despite heightened market volatility and recent corrections across crypto markets. Over the weekend, Bitcoin fell below the $77,000 level during a broader selloff that triggered more than $600 million in crypto liquidations within 24 hours.

However, the company has continued to acquire Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset. The latest purchase is proof of its commitment to its long-term accumulation goals regardless of price swings.

Equity Sales Continue Funding Bitcoin Purchases

According to company filings, Strategy financed the latest acquisition through continued equity offerings. Between May 11 and May 17, the firm sold approximately $2.03 billion worth of securities. Most of the funding came from STRC preferred share offerings, which generated roughly $1.95 billion. Meanwhile, MSTR common stock sales contributed another approximately $83.7 million.

That approach has become a defining part of the company’s broader strategy. Over the past several years, Strategy has repeatedly issued shares, preferred securities, and Bitcoin-linked financial products to accelerate accumulation.

In the accumulation announcement, Strategy also emphasized its BTC Yield metric. The firm reported a 12.6% BTC Yield year-to-date for 2026. For the uninitiated, BTC Yield measures the growth in Bitcoin holdings relative to diluted shares outstanding. Michael Saylor increasingly uses this metric to highlight Strategy’s success as a Bitcoin accumulation engine. 

The model has drawn both praise and criticism across financial markets. Supporters argue that Strategy gives investors leveraged exposure to Bitcoin through public equity markets. Critics, meanwhile, warn that the approach increases concentration risk and exposes the company heavily to Bitcoin volatility.

Institutional Bitcoin Accumulation Continues Growing

The latest purchase also reflects a broader institutional trend unfolding across crypto markets. Recent CoinRemark coverage highlighted that fellow corporate Bitcoin giant BlackRock now controls roughly 3.87% of asset’s total supply through its ETF holdings. That represents more than $64.85 billion worth of Bitcoin.

At the same time, Wall Street firms continue expanding blockchain and crypto operations while spot Bitcoin ETFs steadily absorb market liquidity.

The combination of ETF demand and large corporate accumulation continues reducing the amount of liquid Bitcoin available across markets. That trend could strengthen Bitcoin’s long-term scarcity dynamics. For now, Strategy remains at the forefront of that institutional accumulation.
