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 SEC 8-K filing. The company’s total bitcoin holdings now reach 818,334 BTC, worth around $63.7 billion at current prices, representing 3.9% of bitcoin’s 21 million hard cap.
The company purchased the bitcoins at an average cost of $75,537 per bitcoin, with total acquisition costs of approximately $61.8 billion including fees and expenses. This translates to roughly $1.9 billion in unrealized gains at current market prices. The latest acquisitions were funded through at-the-market (ATM) sales of MicroStrategy’s Class A common stock (MSTR), with 1,451,601 shares sold for approximately $255 million. As of April 26, $26.47 billion worth of MSTR shares remain available for issuance under the ATM program.
MicroStrategy’s capital raise strategy includes its “42/42” plan, which targets $84 billion in total equity offerings and convertible notes through 2027. The company operates multiple ATM programs across its preferred stock offerings—STRK, STRC, STRF, and STRD—with combined available capacity exceeding $70 billion. STRC, a variable-rate cumulative preferred stock with monthly dividends, has become the primary driver of recent acquisitions. The company recently proposed shifting STRC dividend payments from monthly to semi-monthly to reduce reinvestment lag and enhance market efficiency.
Among public bitcoin treasury companies, MicroStrategy remains the largest holder. Other major players include Twenty One with 43,514 BTC, Metaplanet with 40,177 BTC, and MARA with 38,689 BTC. MSTR stock gained 10.6% last week, closing Friday at $171.02, while bitcoin rose approximately 4.6% over the same period. However, MSTR shares remain down around 62% from their summer 2025 peak, with a market cap-to-net asset value ratio of 0.99.
