OMG! Strategy Just Blew $2.5B on Bitcoin – Are They Crazy or Genius?

by

Well, well, well. Looks like Strategy has been on a bit of a Bitcoin shopping spree lately, darling. Not just one, but two consecutive purchases worth over $1 billion each. And the latest? Oh, just a casual $2.5 billion splurge on 34,164 BTC. Because, you know, who needs a new yacht when you can have more Bitcoin?

This little spending spree puts their total stash at a whopping 815,061 BTC, purchased for a cool $61.56 billion. That’s right, billion with a ‘B’. At an average price of $75,527 per unit, they’re basically the Beyoncé of Bitcoin holders. Queen Bey would be proud.

Now, given that Bitcoin had a little tantrum last Friday and failed to hold at $78,400, Strategy is technically sitting on a minor paper loss. But hey, who’s counting? Certainly not Michael Saylor, who’s probably too busy tweeting about it. Speaking of which:

Strategy has acquired 34,164 BTC for ~$2.54 billion at ~$74,395 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 9.5% YTD 2026. As of 4/19/2026, we hodl 815,061 $BTC acquired for ~$61.56 billion at ~$75,527 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC

Remember when they dropped $1 billion last Monday? Cute. But this $2.54 billion purchase is the biggest since late November 2024, when they bought 55,500 BTC for $5.4 billion. Back then, Bitcoin was flirting with $100,000. Ah, the good old days.

Meanwhile, Strategy’s stock prices had a little party last week, surging 32% in 5 days and closing at over $166 on Friday. But, because the universe has a sense of humor, it’s already down more than 2% in pre-market trading. Wall Street’s opening bell today? Expect more drama than a season finale of your favorite soap opera.

So, is Strategy a genius or just really, really optimistic? Only time will tell. In the meantime, let’s all pour ourselves a glass of wine and watch the crypto rollercoaster from a safe distance. Cheers!
