Treasury Scale Expands
The purchase pushed Strategy to 815,061 BTC acquired for an aggregate purchase price of approximately US$61.56 billion (AU$86.18 billion). Its average cost across the full Bitcoin treasury was US$75,527 (AU$105,738) per BTC.
That placed its holdings above 3.8% of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply, which gives the company a treasury profile unmatched by other public companies and makes its capital-market activity a major Bitcoin-market signal.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated on X that Strategy held 815,061 BTC acquired for approximately US$61.56 billion (AU$86.18 billion) at roughly US$75,527 (AU$105,738) per Bitcoin.
The firm also reported a BTC Yield of 9.5% year to date in 2026, a company metric used to track Bitcoin holdings relative to diluted shares.
The acquisition is one of Strategy’s larger purchases and comes as Bitcoin remains volatile below its late-2025 highs. As Crypto News Australia reported, BTC’s recent pullback sparked over US$260 million (AU$362 million) in liquidations shortly after it was announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and Iran clarified it won’t continue any form of negotiations with the US.
