Strategy drops $255M on Bitcoin, BTC Yield reaches 9.6%

The acquisition was financed using proceeds from ATM sales of MSTR shares.

Strategy disclosed on Monday it acquired 3,273 Bitcoin for $255 million last week, bringing its total holdings to 818,334 BTC valued at approximately $64 billion at current market prices.

According to a SEC filing, the purchases were funded by $255 million raised through its at-the-market (ATM) program via MSTR Class A share sales, with no preferred stock issuance during the April 20–26, 2026 period.

Strategy reported that its Bitcoin Yield has risen to 9.6% year-to-date, up from 5.6% last week. The firm now owns nearly 4% of the total Bitcoin supply.

The company’s stock was modestly higher in pre-market trading on Monday, with year-to-date gains exceeding 12%, per Yahoo Finance. Still, the stock has declined roughly 51% over the past 12 months.

Bitcoin supply may not meet Saylor buying pace: Galaxy Digital CEO

Bitcoin supply is tightening as institutional demand surges, with buyers such as Strategy and ETFs absorbing a growing share of available coins.

In a conversation on Anthony Scaramucci’s All Things Markets podcast, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz warned that Bitcoin may be entering a supply squeeze, driven by aggressive accumulation from firms like Strategy, which continues to raise capital to fund purchases.

He described Strategy’s approach as uniquely self-sustaining, leveraging investor demand for its shares to continuously fund Bitcoin accumulation.
