Strategy Acquires 13,927 BTC for $1 Billion

In the week starting April 6, Strategy acquired 13,927 BTC for $1 billion. The average purchase price was $71,902 per coin. 

The total holdings under the management of Michael Saylor have reached 780,897 BTC (3.7% of the total bitcoin supply), equivalent to $59 billion. 

Strategy financed the latest reserve addition through the sale of perpetual preferred shares STRC. Last week, the company sold 10,028,363 shares for approximately $1 billion — the second-largest STRC issuance in history. 

The company continues to buy bitcoin despite “paper” losses: in the first quarter of 2026, they amounted to $14.46 billion.

A British MP Joins the Game

British MP and co-founder of the Reform UK party, Nigel Farage, purchased 37 BTC for $2.7 million for Stack BTC. In early March, he invested $286,000 in the company’s equity. 

Farage became the first sitting MP in the country to publicly acquire the leading cryptocurrency, according to Stack BTC. 

The company now holds 68.1898 BTC and ranks 114th among bitcoin treasuries, according to BitcoinTreasuries

Stack BTC is managed by another politician, former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng. The firm offers Britons access to bitcoin through public markets.

BitMine Keeps Pace

Meanwhile, the largest Ethereum treasury, BitMine, acquired 71,524 ETH for $156.35 million. The company now holds a total of 4.8 million ETH valued at $10.66 billion, representing 4.04% of the total supply of the leading altcoin. 

The firm’s plans include accumulating 5% of Ethereum’s issuance. 

“We have maintained an elevated pace of ETH purchases for the fourth consecutive week. Our base scenario is that Ethereum is in the final stage of a ‘mini-crypto winter.’ Over the past week, we acquired 71,524 ETH — the highest purchase rate since December 22, 2025,” commented BitMine Chairman Tom Lee.

The total assets in staking at Bitmine have reached 3.3 million ETH ($7.4 billion with an annual income of $212 million). The company is currently in the process of transferring locked coins to its own platform, MAVAN, which it launched at the end of March. 

On April 9, BitMine shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
