Strategy Buys 24,869 Bitcoin for About $2.01B, Lifts Holdings to 843,738 BTC
Strategy disclosed a fresh Bitcoin purchase, acquiring 24,869 BTC for approximately $2.01 billion at an average price of about $80,985 per coin, according to a post on the company's X account.
Following the transaction, Strategy's Bitcoin holdings rose to 843,738 BTC. The company said its cumulative purchases total roughly $63.87 billion, implying an average cost basis near $75,700 per BTC.
Strategy also reported a 2026 year-to-date BTC yield of 12.6%. The firm has positioned the BTC yield metric as a key performance indicator, intended to reflect Bitcoin held per share, shareholder BTC exposure, and the effectiveness of treasury management over time.
With the updated tally, Strategy further cements its status as the largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin. At current levels, the company controls around 4% of Bitcoin's circulating supply.
Cofounder Michael Saylor continued to defend an aggressively bullish stance on Bitcoin across market cycles. He recently responded to comments from investor Ray Dalio, who questioned Bitcoin's safe-haven credentials given its volatility and lack of privacy. Saylor argued that gold represents "analog capital" while Bitcoin is "digital capital," adding that Bitcoin's transparency could strengthen its role as future collateral in the global economy.
As Strategy's purchases have grown in size, market participants increasingly monitor the company's bond issuance, equity offerings, treasury financing activity, and buying cadence for potential spillover effects on broader crypto markets. Critics including longtime Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff have warned that the approach could face pressure if Bitcoin enters a prolonged downturn.
Bitcoin traded around $77,000, down roughly 1.65% over the past 24 hours and about 5% over the past seven days.
