Strategy Surpasses IBIT Fund in Bitcoin Purchase
Strategy, which once again made headlines in the financial markets with its announcement yesterday of a 34,000 Bitcoin purchase, has managed to surpass the number held by the IBIT fund.
Strategy, which has recently used capital obtained from the sale of its main shares for Bitcoin purchases, has managed to overtake the IBIT fund in Bitcoin holdings. Thus, the company led by Saylor has surpassed the IBIT fund for the first time in approximately two years, since the second quarter of 2024.
As a reminder, Strategy yesterday made its third largest Bitcoin purchase in its history. The company announced that it purchased 34,164 BTC between April 13-19, bringing the total number to 815,061. More than $2.5 billion was paid for the purchases.
IBIT, the world's largest Bitcoin fund, which has been open for transactions since January 10, 2024, holds 802,824 BTC belonging to its clients. IBIT has become one of the fastest-growing ETFs in history and the fastest fund to reach a valuation of $70 billion.
At the beginning of 2024, Strategy held 189,150 BTC. This means that Saylor's company, which acquired approximately 189,000 BTC in the four years after it started purchasing in 2020, has acquired nearly 700,000 BTC in the last two years. This clearly demonstrates the company's belief in Bitcoin. Strategy has also acquired approximately 80,000 BTC so far in 2026.
