Michael Saylor’s Strategy has added 535 BTC to its balance sheet for about $43 million, according to the latest reported purchase. The acquisition was made at an average price of $80,340 per bitcoin.
Following the purchase, the total holdings of the largest Bitcoin digital asset treasuries (DATs) reached 818,869 BTC, valued at approximately $66.2 billion. Strategy also reported a BTC yield of 9.4% so far in 2026, attributed to growth in shareholders’ exposure to Bitcoin per share rather than Bitcoin market performance.
The average price of the total 818,869 BTC is reported at $75,540. At the time of the purchase, bitcoin was trading at $80,791.33 after a slight decline from the previous day, while still up more than 13% over the previous month.
Strategy’s current Bitcoin holdings are estimated to represent about $4.30 billion in unrealized profits. The 535 BTC addition followed Saylor’s tease on 10 May.
Strategy’s latest Bitcoin purchase also supported MicroStrategy (MSTR). At press time, MSTR was priced at $195.94, up 4.45% from the previous day.
Quarterly performance comparisons show MSTR up more than 50% while bitcoin increased by almost 20%, implying MSTR returns were about 2.5 times those of BTC. MSTR open interest rose from nearly $15 million to over $40 million since February, while the stock price recovered from about $120 to nearly $190.
This pattern suggests that, alongside improving cryptocurrency sentiment, traders may be opening leveraged bullish positions in MSTR as a high-beta proxy for bitcoin.
The increase in leverage also raises concerns about volatility. A sharp drop in MSTR or bitcoin could trigger large liquidations, potentially amplifying price swings.
With bitcoin trading above Strategy’s reported average acquisition cost of $75,540, the firm reported estimated unrealized profits of $4.30 billion. MSTR is increasingly viewed by traders as a high-beta Bitcoin proxy.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
