Strategy Adds 3,273 BTC for $255M as Strive, Block and BitMine Expand Crypto Treasuries

Between April 20 and 26, Strategy closed another Bitcoin acquisition — 3,273 BTC for $255 million at an average price of $77,906 per coin. Simultaneously, Strive, Block, and BitMine expanded their own crypto treasuries.

Strategy Slows Down but Keeps Stacking

Company founder Michael Saylor announced the purchase:

"Strategy has acquired 3,273 BTC for ~$255.0 million at ~$77,906 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 9.6% YTD 2026. As of 4/26/2026, we hodl 818,334 $BTC acquired for ~$61.81 billion at ~$75,537 per bitcoin." — Michael Saylor (@saylor), original post

This week's purchase is considerably smaller than the previous one: Strategy had acquired 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion — its largest weekly deal since November 2024. The latest buy was funded through the sale of 1.4 million MSTR shares.

Strategy's total holdings now stand at 818,334 BTC (~$63.7 billion), purchased at an average cost of $75,537. This represents 3.9% of Bitcoin's total supply and implies roughly $1.9 billion in unrealized profit at current prices.

Why This Matters

Major public companies continue to systematically accumulate cryptocurrency, generating substantial institutional demand. Strategy alone controls nearly 4% of all Bitcoin in circulation, while Strive and BitMine show that the corporate crypto treasury model is spreading well beyond a single firm. This trend reduces freely available supply and could exert long-term pressure on price dynamics.

Strive Breaks Into the Top 10 Bitcoin Holders

Strive's Bitcoin treasury grew by 789 BTC purchased for $61.4 million at an average price of approximately $77,890 per coin.

Strive's total balance reached 14,557 BTC (~$1.3 billion), propelling it to ninth place among the largest public Bitcoin holders — ahead of Hut 8, CleanSpark, and Tesla.

Similar to Strategy, Strive funds its Bitcoin purchases by selling preferred SATA shares. In September 2025, the firm acquired Semler Scientific with the goal of building one of the largest corporate digital asset reserves.

Block Discloses BTC Reserve Structure

Jack Dorsey's fintech company Block revealed that it holds 28,355 BTC (~$2.2 billion). The assets break down as follows:

• 19,537 BTC (~$1.5 billion) — held on behalf of customers;
• 8,997 BTC (~$692 million) — corporate treasury.

Block's own reserve is estimated at roughly 9,000 BTC ($687 million), placing the company 14th among the largest public Bitcoin holders.

BitMine Approaches 5% of Ethereum's Total Supply

Over the past week, BitMine executed its largest ETH purchase since December 2025 — 101,901 ETH for $241.1 million at an average price of $2,369 per coin. The acquisition was highlighted by company chairman Tom Lee.

"BitMine provided its latest holdings update for April 27, 2026: $13.3 billion in total crypto + 'moonshots': — 5,078,386 ETH at $2,369 per ETH (@coinbase) — 200 Bitcoin (BTC) — $200 million stake in Beast Industries @MrBeast — $91 million…" — Bitmine (NYSE-BMNR) (@BitMNR), original post

BitMine has accumulated over 5 million ETH ($10 billion) — 4.21% of Ethereum's total supply — and aims to reach the 5% threshold. The company has staked 3.7 million ETH ($8.8 billion) and is gradually migrating assets to its proprietary staking platform, MAVAN.

Alongside corporate buying activity, retail demand is also growing: digital asset investment products attracted $1.2 billion in inflows between April 20 and 24.
