The largest corporate investor in Bitcoin, Strategy, significantly increased its cryptocurrency assets during the week of May 11 to 17, 2026, acquiring 24,869 BTC for approximately $2.01 billion.

Portfolio Structure and Financial Indicators
The average price at which the latest asset acquisition occurred was $80,985 per Bitcoin. As a result, the total volume of Strategy’s cryptocurrency portfolio grew to 843,738 BTC, and its market value, as of today, is estimated at $63.87 billion. Considering the average purchase price across the entire portfolio – $75,700 per BTC – the company is currently in a zone of significant unrealized profit.
“Given the current exchange rate, Strategy’s portfolio is in a zone of unrealized profit of $951.8 million.”
At the time of preparing this news, Bitcoin is trading at $76,827, although on May 17-18, 2026, its price experienced a correction due to the escalation of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
Financing the Operation and Company Strategies
The financing of the new Bitcoin purchase was carried out through the issuance of securities by Strategy – ordinary shares MSTR worth $83.7 million and preferred shares STRC worth $1.95 billion. The company previously reported that it would focus on STRC, which are positioned as a digital credit secured by Bitcoins from Strategy’s balance sheet. These securities feature a floating dividend rate with monthly payments.
At the same time, obligations under STRC may in the future prompt the company to partially liquidate its cryptocurrency portfolio. Strategy’s management acknowledged that this approach is more effective than solely issuing MSTR, as it allows for attracting more investments for further Bitcoin purchases.
Thus, Strategy’s latest major investment not only strengthens its position in the cryptocurrency market but also underscores the company’s active strategy for further increasing Bitcoin assets in 2026.
