Strategy Buys 4,871 BTC as Bitcoin Holdings Reach 766,970
Strategy disclosed that it acquired 4,871 BTC between April 1 and April 5, 2026, spending $329.9 million at an average price of $67,718 per bitcoin BTC +0.00% . The purchase, confirmed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 6, lifted the company’s total holdings to 766,970 BTC.
What Strategy Confirmed in the April 6 SEC Filing
The April 6, 2026 Form 8-K details a five-day accumulation window running from April 1 through April 5. Strategy paid an aggregate $329.9 million for the 4,871 BTC, translating to an average cost of $67,718 per coin.
After this latest tranche, Strategy reported holding 766,970 BTC acquired for a cumulative $58.02 billion at an average price of $75,644 per bitcoin. The filing was made under Items 7.01 and 8.01, consistent with Strategy’s established pattern of voluntary bitcoin treasury disclosures.
Strategy’s official press page repeated the same figures, confirming the 4,871 BTC acquisition and the updated 766,970 BTC total. Unchained described the purchase as a resumption of buying after a one-week pause, suggesting the company had briefly stepped away from the market before restarting accumulation.
Why the Viral 2,645 BTC Claim Does Not Match the Record
A widely circulated social post attributed a 2,645 BTC purchase to Strategy and framed it as six times the daily mined supply. Neither figure aligns with the verified filing. The SEC document records 4,871 BTC, not 2,645, and no authoritative source has surfaced a separate dated transaction for that smaller amount.
The “6x daily mined” comparison also warrants caution. Blockchain.info data at the time of research showed 403.125 BTC mined over the prior 24 hours across 129 blocks. Using that baseline, the confirmed 4,871 BTC purchase would represent roughly 12 times daily issuance, not six, further illustrating that the viral framing was built on a different, unconfirmed number.
None of this diminishes the scale of Strategy’s actual purchase. It does, however, underscore the gap between social media headlines and SEC-filed disclosures, a gap that readers should navigate by anchoring to primary documents.
What the Latest Buy Means for Bitcoin Sentiment
Bitcoin traded at $72,855 at the time of this research, up roughly 1.3% over the prior 24 hours. That modest uptick stood against a broader backdrop of weak sentiment: the Fear & Greed Index registered 16, firmly in the Extreme Fear zone.
Corporate treasury buying during periods of extreme fear carries outsized narrative weight. Strategy’s decision to deploy $329.9 million while the index sat at 16 reinforces the company’s counter-cyclical posture, a pattern Michael Saylor has maintained through multiple drawdowns.
The derivatives market reflected that cautious environment. With BTC hovering just above $72,000 and fear dominating sentiment readings, leveraged positioning remained subdued relative to the rallies seen in earlier quarters.
On-chain exchange reserves have continued their long-term decline, consistent with coins moving into cold storage or institutional custody. Strategy’s 766,970 BTC now represents one of the largest single-entity holdings on the network, and each new filing cements the company’s role as the dominant corporate player in the Bitcoin treasury narrative.
The next scheduled disclosure window will reveal whether Strategy maintained its buying cadence through the second week of April or paused again. Until then, the April 6 filing stands as the most recent verified data point.
