Strategy Bought 24,869 BTC for $2.01 Billion
American corporation Strategy carried out another expansion of its corporate Bitcoin reserve.
According to Michael Saylor’s report, the company purchased another 24,869 $BTC last week for approximately $2.01 billion.
Following the new purchase, the company’s Bitcoin strategy yield since the beginning of 2026 reached 12.6%.
The Path to 1 Million BTC
As of May 17, Strategy held 843,738 $BTC on its balance sheet.
The company spent approximately $63.87 billion to acquire this amount, with an average purchase price of around $75,700 per Bitcoin ($BTC).

To reach the historic milestone of exactly 1 million $BTC, Saylor’s corporation still needs to acquire another 156,262 $BTC.
At the same time, the organization launched a campaign to change the servicing conditions of its securities under the ticker STRC.
Management urged investors to vote for an amendment that would allow dividends to be paid twice per month.

According to Michael Saylor, this step will help establish a new digital credit standard at the $100 level.
According to the company, retail investors control about 80% of STRC shares.
A user under the nickname BornBullish, in turn, believes that the frequent payout schedule is aimed at the traditional financial sector.
“This kind of model should turn the security into an attractive instrument for conservative funds and retirees seeking regular income, creating a kind of liquidity vacuum,” he emphasized.
Saylor’s initiative drew criticism from some market participants.
Trader Simon the Trader accused the head of Strategy of deliberately misleading investors.
“STRC is a preferred stock instrument, not a credit product, and suggestions that it offers protection comparable to corporate bonds have nothing to do with reality,” the expert stated.
He also noted that the real share of retail investors would be one hundred percent if the project were not supported by the SATA structure.
The trader called the current dividend yield of 11.5% annually “absolutely unsustainable in the long term,” adding that no serious institution in its right mind would engage with this product because of the enormous risks.
A Competitor in Bitcoin Purchases
Against the backdrop of activity by the American giant, purchases were also reported in Europe.
On May 18, French company Capital B, which specializes in Bitcoin capital management, purchased 192 $BTC.
The deal cost the company $15 million, which it managed to raise during its latest funding round.
Thanks to this purchase, Capital B’s total holdings increased to 3,135 $BTC.
The company ranks 25th among the largest public holders of the leading cryptocurrency.
