Strategy’s Bitcoin Bet Tops $58 Billion After Latest 4,871 BTC Purchase

Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy has resumed its buying spree after a two-week gap with a new $329.9 million acquisition of the cryptocurrency.
Strategy Has Added 4,871 Tokens To Its Bitcoin Treasury
In a new post on X, Strategy co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor has shared details related to the company’s latest Bitcoin acquisition. In total, the firm has added 4,871 BTC for $329.9 million or $67,718 per token with this purchase.
Strategy has had a consistent routine of announcing acquisitions on Monday, but the firm had a rare skip last week. Saylor’s post from Sunday foreshadowed the return to buying ways this week, as the chairman shared the company’s BTC portfolio tracker with the caption: “₿ack to Work.”
According to the filing with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy bought its latest tokens between April 1st and 5th. The firm funded the purchase using sales of its STRC and MSTR at-the-market (ATM) stock offerings.
In the past, Strategy has often shown a tendency to buy local price tops, with its tokens already dipping into losses by the time it reveals the purchase. This time around, however, the latest Bitcoin spot price is still trading above the buy’s cost basis, meaning that the tokens are in the green.
Though, the firm’s holdings as a whole have continued to be underwater recently. Following the new purchase, Strategy’s cost basis is sitting at $75,644, putting its Bitcoin reserves in a loss of about 8.1% at the current spot price. The company first fell underwater with the price crash at the start of February and with the market staying down since then amid uncertainty like the Iran war, BTC hasn’t been able to reclaim its break-even level.
A milestone that Strategy has cleared with the latest acquisition is that its total investment into the asset has broken past the $58 billion mark. With a total of 766,970 tokens in its wallets, Saylor’s firm occupies a network supply share of 3.83%, by far the highest among corporate treasury holders of Bitcoin.
Just like how Strategy regularly announces purchases on Monday, Ethereum’s largest treasury company, Bitmine, has made a habit of doing the same. This Monday has been no different, with Bitmine’s regular press release going up with information related to the firm’s latest ETH accumulation.
Over the past week, Bitmine added 71,252 ETH to its wallets, the largest weekly buying spree since December 2025. Thomas “Tom” Lee, the company’s chariman, said:
Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’
The Ethereum treasury firm now holds a total of 4,803,334 ETH, equivalent to 3.98% of the cryptocurrency’s total supply in circulation.
