Gate News message, April 27 — MicroStrategy acquired an additional 3,273 BTC for approximately $255 million at an average price of $77,906 per bitcoin between April 20 and April 26, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday. The company now holds a total of 818,334 BTC—worth around $63.7 billion—bought at an average price of $75,537 per bitcoin for a total cost of approximately $61.8 billion including fees and expenses, according to co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor. This represents 3.9% of bitcoin’s 21 million hard cap, implying roughly $1.9 billion in paper gains at current prices.
The latest acquisitions were funded through proceeds from at-the-market (ATM) sales of MSTR Class A common stock. Last week, MicroStrategy sold 1,451,601 MSTR shares for approximately $255 million. As of April 26, $26.47 billion worth of MSTR shares remain available for issuance under the program. The company also operates multiple ATM programs for its perpetual preferred stocks (STRK, STRC, STRF, and STRD) totaling $21 billion, $4.2 billion, $2.1 billion, and $4.2 billion respectively, as part of its broader “42/42” capital plan targeting $84 billion in equity offerings and convertible notes through 2027.
Saylor shared the acquisition hint via social media on Sunday, stating “The beat goes on” following the company’s third-largest 34,164 BTC purchase the prior week. MicroStrategy’s stock gained 10.6% last week, closing Friday at $171.02, while Bitcoin rose approximately 4.6% over the same period. According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, 196 public companies have now adopted some form of bitcoin acquisition strategy.
