BroadChain News, April 27, 05:06, according to BeInCrypto, as of April 26, MicroStrategy (Strategy) has reached a record $63.46 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) holdings, holding 815,061 BTC at an average cost of $75,528 per coin. Over the past week, holdings increased by nearly $2 billion, climbing from $61.56 billion, as Bitcoin extended its rally and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor hinted at continued accumulation.
Last week, the company purchased 34,164 BTC for approximately $2.54 billion at an average price of $74,395, marking its largest single-week purchase in 17 months. This acquisition pushed Strategy past BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust to become the largest public Bitcoin holder after Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, controlling about three-quarters of corporate treasury Bitcoin. Its unrealized gains stand at $1.9 billion, with a yield of 3.08%.
April purchases were financed through capital instruments, including $2.18 billion raised from the issuance of STRF perpetual preferred stock and $366 million from MSTR stock market sales. Saylor noted a Bitcoin yield of 9.5% year-to-date in 2026. Critics like Peter Schiff have warned that the preferred stock model could fall into a "death spiral," but Saylor hinted that the pace of purchases will not slow down.
