Big Bull Michael Saylor Announces $2.5 Billion Bitcoin (BTC) Deal! “Biggest in Recent Weeks!”
Continuing its weekly purchases, Strategy completed its weekly Bitcoin ($BTC) purchase and announced that it bought 34,164 $BTC last week.
Accordingly, Strategy purchased 34,164 $BTC, worth $2.54 billion, at an average price of $74,395.
Strategy founder Michael Saylor announced the news via a post on his X account.
“Strategy purchased 34,164 $BTC for approximately $2.54 billion, at approximately $74,395 per Bitcoin, and achieved a 9.5% $BTC return by YTD 2026.”
As of April 19, 2026, we hold 815,061 $BTC, purchased for approximately $61.56 billion at approximately $75,527 per Bitcoin.
This purchase is one of the largest the company has made recently, and with this latest acquisition, the amount of Bitcoin held by the company has exceeded 800,000 $BTC.
Based on Bitcoin’s fixed supply, the amount held by the company represents more than 3.8% of the final total of 21 million, and at current prices, this translates to a loss of approximately $400 million.
It was also stated that the recent purchases were made using proceeds from sales of Class A common shares (MSTR) and perpetual Stretch preferred shares (STRC) at market price.
Michael Saylor once again hinted at the company’s latest purchase. This time, Saylor gave his usual Sunday hint, updating Strategy’s Bitcoin purchase announcement by saying, “Think bigger.” This announcement suggested a larger purchase than the previous week’s 13,927 $BTC.
