Strategy, led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, reported purchasing 3,273 bitcoin for approximately $255 million at an average price of about $77,906 per coin. The transaction increased the firm’s total holdings to 818,334 BTC, valued at roughly $63.6 billion based on COIN360 data showing bitcoin trading near $77,800 at the time of disclosure.
The company’s cumulative bitcoin acquisition cost stands at approximately $61.81 billion, with an average cost basis of $75,537 per coin as of April 26, 2026. Strategy said its BTC Yield rose to 9.6% year-to-date, compared with 9.5% reported one week earlier.
Strategy’s latest purchase follows a prior acquisition disclosed one week earlier of 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion at roughly $74,395 per coin, which had brought total holdings to 815,061 BTC before the most recent update. The company has completed more than 107 documented bitcoin purchases since August 2020 and now holds about 3.9% of bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply.
Strive expands bitcoin treasury and preferred stock program
Strive Asset Management disclosed it acquired 789 BTC for $61.43 million at an average purchase price of approximately $77,890 per bitcoin, according to CEO Matt Cole. The purchase brings Strive’s total holdings to 14,557 BTC, valued at around $1.3 billion at current prices.
The firm ranks as the ninth-largest corporate bitcoin holder globally, ahead of Hut 8 and behind Coinbase, based on Bitcoin Treasuries data. Strive’s capital strategy includes its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (SATA), designed to maintain a strike price between $99 and $100 while offering a variable monthly dividend.
Strive raised about $160 million in its initial SATA offering and approximately $225 million in a subsequent upsized round, totaling roughly $385 million. The firm recently tightened SATA’s trading range and increased its monthly dividend yield to 12.75%.
Strive also plans to partner with Tuttle Capital Management to create an exchange-traded fund tracking both SATA and Strategy’s STRC preferred instrument, offering combined exposure to bitcoin treasury-linked securities.
Bitmine accelerates ether accumulation and staking operations
Bitmine Immersion Technologies disclosed it purchased 101,901 ETH during the prior week, valued at approximately $236 million, marking its largest weekly acquisition since December. The purchase increased its total ether holdings to 5,078,386 ETH, representing about 4.21% of the circulating supply.
Chairman Thomas “Tom” Lee said, “Bitmine ETH holdings crossed 5 million this past week. This is a major milestone as the company moves towards acquiring 5% of the ETH supply.”
Bitmine reached the 5 million ETH level in about 10 months after pivoting to a digital asset treasury strategy in June 2025. Its total crypto and cash holdings now stand at $13.3 billion, including 200 BTC, $940 million in cash, and equity stakes in Beast Industries and Eightco Holdings.
The firm has allocated approximately 3.7 million ETH, or roughly 73% of its holdings, to staking operations, generating about $264 million in annualized revenue. Bitmine launched its Mavan staking platform in March 2026 to support institutional clients and internal yield generation.
Lee said, “There is a lot of meaning to ETH being the best 'war-time store of value' and to ETH being the asset leading since the war started.” Ether was trading near $2,310 on April 27, 2026, based on COIN360 data.
