Strategy holds 815,061 BTC.
Latest purchase: 34,164 BTC.
Strategy now controls 4% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply.
Realized price of entire stack: ~$75,527 per BTC.
Current BTC price $75,600.
Estimated current profit on full position: $242 million.
Stated target: 5-7% of total Bitcoin supply.
On April 21, Strategy disclosed a purchase of 34,164 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 815,061 BTC and pushing it past BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, which held 802,823 BTC as of April 17. The gap between the two largest Bitcoin holders is now approximately 12,000 coins.
The accumulation chart makes the journey visible in a way the headline number alone cannot. From 2021 through mid-2024, Strategy’s Bitcoin staircase climbed gradually, consistent purchases, moderate step sizes. From mid-2024 onward the character of the buying changed. The steps became larger, more frequent, and less correlated with price direction.
The 34,164 BTC purchase that crossed the BlackRock threshold came with Bitcoin at $75,600, not at a discount, not on a meaningful dip, but at a price just $73 above Strategy’s own weighted average across the entire five-year accumulation.
Strategy’s $75,527 realized price against a $75,600 market
Strategy’s realized price, the weighted average of every Bitcoin purchased across five years and 815,061 coins, is approximately $75,527. Bitcoin’s current price is $75,600. The margin between them is $73 per coin.
Strategy has never indicated intent to sell, and the company’s entire financial architecture is built around holding Bitcoin as a permanent treasury asset. But the proximity reframes what the accumulation milestone actually represents right now.
The world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, having just surpassed BlackRock, is holding an estimated $242 million in total profit across 815,061 BTC, approximately $297 per coin on an asset currently worth $75,600. The staircase chart shows five years of relentless upward accumulation. The profit margin of less than 0.4% per coin is the financial reality sitting directly beneath it.
What changed in early April is that BTC crossed back above $75,527 after a period beginning in early February when Strategy’s entire stack sat in unrealized loss. The $242 million figure represents the recovery from that two-month drawdown, not a cumulative gain from all-time cost basis. The supply achievement and the financial position are currently separated by $73. That gap, not the BlackRock comparison, is the number worth watching.
4% of supply and the math toward 5-7%
Strategy now controls 4% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply. The CryptoQuant percentage chart shows this number climbing from near zero in 2021, with the rate of accumulation visibly steepening since mid-2024. At the stated target of 5-7% of total supply, the company would need to acquire between 235,000 and 655,000 additional coins beyond its current position, at prevailing prices, between $17.7 billion and $49.4 billion in additional purchases.
The staircase on the chart has shown no sign of flattening. Every major price correction since 2021 has been met with another step upward. The question is not whether Strategy intends to keep buying, the five-year pattern makes that clear. The question is at what price level the capital required to maintain that pace becomes the binding constraint.
The position is large enough to move the conversation
At $100,000 per Bitcoin, a level the asset reached in late 2024, Strategy’s unrealized profit on its current stack would be approximately $19.8 billion. At $60,000, the unrealized loss would be approximately $12.7 billion. The position has grown to a scale where Bitcoin’s price direction and Strategy’s financial health are no longer separable questions.
Surpassing BlackRock is the supply headline. A $73 per coin margin above realized price on the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin position is the financial reality sitting directly beneath it. The next price move, in either direction, will determine which of those two facts the market remembers first.
