The company’s founder hinted at the big buy yesterday on X.
After several weeks of modest bitcoin acquisitions and even a few missed opportunities, the world’s largest corporate holder of the asset has returned with full force.
Michael Saylor’s NASDAQ-listed business intelligence software just announced buying 24,869 BTC for a whopping $2.01 billion at an average price of just shy of $81,000 per unit.
This brought its entire stash to a massive 843,738 BTC bought at an average price of $75,700 per bitcoin. Strategy has spent almost $64 billion to accumulate its substantial fortune, which is slightly in the green now, given BTC’s price. The stash is currently worth $65.2 billion.

Recall that the company’s previous BTC purchase was a lot more modest, spending just $43 million to accumulate 535 units. Moreover, it missed the previous business week, while it announced a significant $12.5 billion loss for Q1 2026 due to the cryptocurrency’s falling price.
Separately, Strategy said last week that it plans a major note repurchase of approximately $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of the notes. Interestingly, it also left the door open to potential bitcoin sales, as it has been speculated over the past several weeks.
