Michael Saylor’s MSTR Spends $1 Billion On Bitcoin In Fifth Largest Buy Of 2026
-
Michael Saylor-backed Strategy (MSTR) spent $1 billion on accumulating more than 13,927 Bitcoin (BTC) over the past week in its fifth-largest buy of the year.
The average purchase price per Bitcoin came to around $71,902. The company now holds a total of 780,897 BTC, still lagging behind the iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) horde of 788,927 BTC.
MSTR’s stock fell as much as 2.3% in pre-market trade amid broader weakness in the cryptocurrency and equities markets following President Donald Trump’s announcement of a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the company remained in ‘bearish’ territory over the past day, accompanied by chatter at ‘normal’ levels.
Strategy’s biggest Bitcoin purchase this year came on January 20, when it spent $2.2 billion to buy 22,305 BTC. That followed a $1.2 billion buy of 13,627 BTC on January 12 and another $1.2 billion deployment on March 9 for 17,994 BTC. It added to its holdings again on March 16 with a $1.5 billion purchase of 22,337 Bitcoin.
According to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy exercised its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual ‘Stretch’ Preferred Stock (STRC) to make the purchase. The company said its BTC Yield has reached 5.6% year-to-date in 2026.
