Saylor’s Strategy Resumes Bitcoin Accumulation Spree With 4,871 BTC Purchase
The company's total stash has grown to almost 767,000 BTC.
Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy has resumed its Bitcoin accumulation spree after a brief hiatus, purchasing 4,871 BTC last week. This latest acquisition brings the company's total Bitcoin holdings to nearly 767,000 coins, a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency market. The purchase was made at an average price of $67,718 per unit, costing the company approximately $330 million.
MicroStrategy's Bitcoin stash has grown steadily since August 2020, when the company began its aggressive accumulation strategy. The firm now holds 766,970 BTC, which were acquired for a total of $58 billion at an average price of $75,644 per coin. Despite Bitcoin's recent price surge toward $70,000, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin position remains in the red, with its current value estimated at around $53.3 billion.
The latest Bitcoin purchase was announced on April 6, 2026, by Michael Saylor, the company's co-founder and former CEO. Saylor's tweet highlighted the company's commitment to Bitcoin, emphasizing its long-term strategy. "As of 4/5/2026, we hold 766,970 BTC acquired for ~$58.02 billion at ~$75,644 per bitcoin," Saylor wrote, accompanied by the stock ticker symbols for MicroStrategy (MSTR) and its cryptocurrency reserve (STRC).
MicroStrategy's main stock price, MSTR, has experienced a modest increase of nearly 4% in pre-market trading since the announcement. However, it has been on a downward trend since the beginning of the year, dropping from nearly $160 to $124.54.
The company's Bitcoin purchases have not gone unnoticed, and Saylor has once again engaged in an online debate with prominent Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff. The two sparred over Bitcoin's 5-year returns, comparing its performance to gold, stocks, and silver. Schiff argued that Bitcoin has only increased by 12% over the past five years, while Saylor countered with a higher annualized return chart that began in August 2020, when MicroStrategy started its accumulation spree.
MicroStrategy's continued investment in Bitcoin highlights the company's belief in the cryptocurrency's potential as a store of value and its role in the future of finance. As the Bitcoin market continues to evolve, MicroStrategy's strategy of accumulating large quantities of the cryptocurrency remains a point of interest for investors and analysts alike. The company's recent purchase of 4,871 BTC is a testament to its unwavering commitment to this strategy, despite the volatility and challenges faced by the cryptocurrency market.
