"Strategy announced Monday it has acquired an additional 24,869 bitcoin for approximately $2.01 billion, averaging roughly $80,985 per coin, pushing the firm's total holdings to 843,738 BTC - cementing its standing as the world's largest corporate bitcoin treasury by a wide margin."

"The disclosure came via a Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, continuing the company's practice of Monday morning acquisition announcements. The purchase marks a significant acceleration from Strategy's most recent disclosed buy - 535 BTC for $43 million during the week of May 5-11 - which had raised questions among investors about whether the firm was pulling back on its aggressive accumulation pace."

"With this latest tranche, Strategy has now acquired a cumulative 843,738 BTC at an aggregate cost of approximately $63.87 billion, translating to an average price of roughly $75,700 per bitcoin. The company has also recorded a BTC Yield of 12.6% year-to-date in 2026 - a proprietary metric that tracks bitcoin accumulation per diluted share and serves as Strategy's primary benchmark for measuring the accretive value of its capital markets activity for shareholders."

"The purchase arrives against a backdrop of renewed investor attention on Strategy's financing mix. The company has relied heavily on its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock - ticker STRC - alongside its MSTR at-the-market equity offering program to fund acquisitions. STRC, which offers an annualized dividend of approximately 11.5%, has grown into a multi-billion dollar preferred equity product and has become an increasingly important pillar of Strategy's bitcoin-buying engine."
