Strategy buys $1B in bitcoin, now holds 780,897 BTC worth $59B

Strategy has acquired 13,927 Bitcoin for approximately $1 billion at an average price of $71,902 per coin, bringing its total holdings to 780,897 BTC. The purchase makes Strategy the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder, controlling approximately 3.8% of Bitcoin's circulating supply. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced that Strategy's Bitcoin holdings require just 2.05% annual appreciation to cover all preferred stock dividends indefinitely without issuing new common shares. The company's dashboard shows approximately 48.7 years of dividend coverage at current reserve levels. Strategy funds its purchases primarily through its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, which yields 11.5% annually. Despite the latest acquisition, the company reported $14.5 billion in unrealised losses for Q1 2026 as Bitcoin's price fell below its average cost basis of $75,577.

TD Cowen cuts Strategy target to $350 but initiates buy ratings on four crypto treasury stocks

TD Cowen has adjusted its approach to crypto treasury companies, cutting Strategy's price target to $350 from $440 whilst maintaining a Buy rating, and initiating Buy coverage on Sharplink, Strive, Nakamoto Holdings and The Smarter Web Company. The lower target for Strategy reflects a more conservative bitcoin price outlook and reduced multiples, though the firm maintains its bullish stance on the company as the established public-market vehicle for concentrated bitcoin exposure. Sharplink received a $16 target, with analysts highlighting its ether staking capability. The company reported $15.3 million in staking revenue last month, up 50% quarter-on-quarter, generating 14,500 ETH worth approximately $9.4 million. The shift suggests the market is differentiating crypto treasury companies based on structure, yield profile and type of digital-asset exposure offered.

TD Cowen cuts Strategy's price target to $350, initiates Sharplink coverage with $16 target

TD Cowen analysts initiated coverage of Sharplink with a "buy" rating and $16 price target, whilst reducing Strategy's price target to $350 from $440. Sharplink shares traded around $6.42 in after-hours trading, down 62% over six months. Unlike Bitcoin-focused firms, Sharplink grows its digital assets through Ethereum staking, earning rewards by validating transactions. TD analysts believe the company will generate superior staking yields compared to Ethereum ETFs due to lower fees and fewer liquidity constraints. Last month, Sharplink reported staking revenue jumped 50% quarter-over-quarter to $15.3 million, generating 14,500 Ethereum worth $9.4 million. Consensys CEO Joe Lubin, who chairs Sharplink, said the firm bridges traditional public markets and Ethereum. TD's revised Strategy price target reflects lower multiples and reduced Bitcoin price expectations.

Strategy's STRC raises funds to buy 3,029 Bitcoin amid market scepticism

Strategy's STRC has raised funds to purchase 3,029 Bitcoin, signalling continued institutional appetite for the cryptocurrency as a hedge against geopolitical instability and fiat currency risk. Despite the purchase, Bitcoin prediction markets show mixed sentiment. The probability of Bitcoin reaching $100,000 has declined to 29% from 36% a day earlier, whilst the $150,000 market holds steady at 24%. Trading volumes remain thin, with $3,490 in USDC traded across these markets in the past 24 hours. The disconnect between STRC's buy and falling market odds suggests trader scepticism about near-term price targets. Market observers are monitoring potential institutional adoption announcements from BlackRock and MicroStrategy, along with regulatory developments that could significantly impact Bitcoin's trajectory.
