SEC Filing Confirms 4,871 BTC, Not 2,645 BTC
Social media posts initially circulated a figure of 2,645 BTC, according to unconfirmed reports from a single source. The actual amount, documented in Strategy’s April 6, 2026 Form 8-K filed with the SEC, is nearly double that number at 4,871 BTC.

$14.46 Billion Unrealized Loss Adds Context to the Buy
Independently, Cointelegraph confirmed the purchase and reported that Strategy disclosed a $14.46 billion unrealized digital-asset loss for Q1 2026 in the same filing. The loss reflects the gap between the firm’s $75,644 average cost basis and bitcoin’s recent trading range.
Bitcoin was trading at $73,101 at the time of data collection, up 1.18% over 24 hours. At that price, Strategy’s 766,970 BTC position is worth roughly $56.1 billion, below the $58.02 billion acquisition cost.
The purchase was funded with proceeds from Strategy’s at-the-market stock offering programs for MSTR, STRC, and STRK shares, as detailed in the 8-K. The filing also disclosed updated issuance capacity for those programs.
Why Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation Draws Scrutiny
Strategy’s latest buy arrives as the Fear & Greed Index sits at 16, deep in “Extreme Fear” territory. The contrast between retail sentiment and corporate buying behavior is notable: Strategy continued adding bitcoin at roughly $67,718 per coin while broader market participants signaled caution.
The firm’s approach has drawn both supporters and critics. TD Cowen recently noted that crypto treasury firms deserve closer attention from institutional investors, reflecting growing Wall Street interest in the corporate bitcoin accumulation model.
Meanwhile, the emergence of new Bitcoin ETF strategies targeting overnight price surges offers alternative exposure methods for investors who find direct corporate treasury plays too concentrated.
Strategy’s average cost basis of $75,644 sits above the current spot price, meaning the company is underwater on its aggregate position. Whether that gap narrows depends on bitcoin’s trajectory in Q2, with broader equity markets also facing earnings pressure heading into the second quarter.
The 8-K filing is public record on SEC.gov. Investors can verify every figure directly from the source document rather than relying on social media summaries that, as this case demonstrates, sometimes get the numbers wrong.
