Strategy Pauses Weekly Bitcoin Buys Before Q1 Earnings, Eyes 1M BTC Goal
Strategy has halted its weekly Bitcoin purchases ahead of its May 5 Q1 2026 earnings release, with purchases set to resume next week. The company holds over 818,000 BTC at an average cost of $75,537 per coin (total investment above $61.8 billion) and targets 1 million BTC by Q2.
1. Purchase Pause Ahead of Q1 Results
Strategy has suspended its weekly Bitcoin acquisitions for the week leading up to its May 5 Q1 2026 earnings release, with Chairman Michael Saylor confirming a resumption of purchases next week. This temporary halt aligns with the company’s quiet period to avoid potential conflicts ahead of disclosing revenue, holdings and cost basis updates.
2. Bitcoin Holdings and Acquisition Costs
As of late April 2026, Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury stands at over 818,000 BTC, acquired at an average price of roughly $75,537 per coin, representing a total outlay exceeding $61.8 billion. This makes the company the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder and a pure play on BTC price appreciation.
3. Aggressive Q2 Outlook and Funding Model
For Q2, Strategy maintains an ambitious goal of reaching 1 million BTC, backed by planned billion-dollar purchases. The company funds its Bitcoin buys through a combination of common and preferred stock offerings as well as debt issuances, ensuring diversified capital sources for continued accumulation.
