Strategy Pauses Bitcoin Buying as Saylor's BitVac' Comment Puts Next BTC Buy on Watch
Strategy’s bitcoin holdings increased to 843,738 BTC after a disclosed purchase on May 18. The added 24,869 BTC cost about $2.01 billion at an average price near $80,985 per coin. Total holdings were acquired for about $63.87 billion at an average cost near $75,700 per bitcoin. The company reported a 12.6% BTC yield for 2026 and planned to retire $1.5 billion in 2029 convertible notes. A recent update emphasized bond-related activity rather than additional bitcoin buying, shifting attention to debt management and liquidity reserves. Strategy also planned to repurchase part of its 0% convertible senior notes due in 2029 using available funding sources.
"Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy Inc. (Nasdaq: MSTR), shared on X on May 24, 2026, that Strategy bought bonds, not bitcoin during the week, shifting investor attention toward whether the company is managing debt before another BTC acquisition cycle."
"Strategy's latest bitcoin acquisition, disclosed on May 18, added 24,869 BTC for about $2.01 billion at an average price near $80,985 per coin. The purchase lifted holdings to 843,738 BTC, acquired for about $63.87 billion at an average cost near $75,700 per bitcoin."
"Strategy also reported a 12.6% BTC yield for 2026 and planned to retire $1.5 billion in 2029 convertible notes. Saylor's BitVac phrase appears to blend bitcoin and vacuum, reflecting Strategy's role as a large BTC accumulator that absorbs supply from the market."
"On May 15, Strategy moved to buy back about $1.5 billion of its 0% convertible senior notes due in 2029, with cash, stock, bitcoin sales, or other funding available for settlement. The latest dashboard shows $2.25 billion in U.S. dollar reserves, $8.254 billion in debt, $15.479 billion in preferred stock, and $1.712 billion in annual dividends."
