Bitcoin-focused corporates bought 64,722 BTC in April; Strategy's STRC ATM raises hit a record $3.3B

ChainCatcher cited an April 2026 corporate adoption report from BitcoinTreasuries.net showing that public companies and corporate treasuries added 64,722 BTC in April, for a net increase of about 57,791 BTC—one of the biggest monthly buying totals since mid-2025. Strategy purchased 56,235 BTC during the month, largely financed through at-the-market (ATM) offerings of STRC and MSTR. STRC raised $3.3 billion from April 1 to May 3, representing roughly 80% of Strategy's $4.1 billion in total ATM financing over the same period and setting a new monthly record. The report said April's corporate treasury buying nearly matched the net acquisitions of the prior two quarters combined, pointing to a strong start to Q2. It also estimated Bitcoin ETFs collectively hold or provide exposure to around 1.5 million BTC—about 300,000 more than corporate treasuries. BlackRock's IBIT and Strategy remain neck-and-neck in BTC holdings. As of May 5, Strategy held 818,334 BTC, compared with about 818,147 BTC held by IBIT. Corporate holdings of altcoins were estimated at roughly $22 billion, including about $16.2 billion in ETH reserves.
