Strategy Inc. reported purchasing 4,871 bitcoin between April 1-5 for $329.9 million, resuming acquisitions after a pause. The company generated proceeds by selling shares of its STRC and MSTR stock, and reported a multibillion-dollar unrealized loss on its digital asset holdings for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. As of the most recent filing, Strategy's bitcoin holdings and remaining at-the-market offering capacities remain substantial.

Key Points

  • Strategy bought 4,871 bitcoin between April 1-5 for $329.9 million at an average price of $67,718 per bitcoin - this followed a short pause in purchases.
  • The company raised cash by selling 1,027,255 shares of STRC for $102.6 million net and 593,294 shares of MSTR for $72.0 million net.
  • As of Friday, Strategy held 766,970 bitcoin with an aggregate purchase price of $58.02 billion and an average purchase price of $75,644 per bitcoin; digital asset carrying value was $51.65 billion as of March 31, 2026.

Strategy Inc. disclosed in a Form 8-K that it purchased 4,871 bitcoin between April 1 and April 5 for a total of $329.9 million, paying an average of $67,718 per bitcoin. The filing noted this purchase followed a pause in buying activity the prior week.

During the same period, the company sold equity to raise funds. Strategy reported selling 1,027,255 shares of STRC stock, which produced $102.6 million in net proceeds. It also sold 593,294 shares of MSTR stock, generating $72.0 million in net proceeds.

On a consolidated basis, Strategy reported holding 766,970 bitcoin as of Friday. The aggregate purchase price for those holdings is $58.02 billion, which implies an average purchase price of $75,644 per bitcoin.

In its financial reporting for the three months ended March 31, 2026, Strategy recorded a $14.46 billion unrealized loss on its digital assets. The company also reported an associated deferred tax benefit of $2.42 billion. The digital asset carrying value on the balance sheet stood at $51.65 billion as of March 31, 2026.

Strategy continues to keep multiple at-the-market offerings available. As of Friday, remaining capacity for these programs was listed as $1.619 billion for STRF stock, $22.645 billion for STRC stock, $2.100 billion for STRK stock, $4.015 billion for STRD stock, and $27.096 billion for MSTR stock.

These disclosures provide a snapshot of the companys recent trading activity, its current bitcoin position, and the accounting impact of digital asset valuations through the end of the March quarter. The Form 8-K describes the operational moves and the headline accounting figures but does not provide further commentary about future purchase plans or strategy beyond noting the recent resumption of buying.

Risks

  • Large unrealized loss on digital assets - Strategy reported a $14.46 billion unrealized loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which affects reported earnings and equity.
  • Reliance on deferred tax benefit - The company noted a $2.42 billion associated deferred tax benefit tied to digital asset valuations, which may be subject to change depending on future tax treatment and valuations.
  • Concentration of value in digital assets - With a $51.65 billion carrying value of digital assets as of March 31, 2026, the companys balance sheet is significantly exposed to cryptocurrency price movements.
