According to Bitcoin Magazine tracking, Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) during the trading hours of April 10 on the U.S. stock market, on a single day, reportedly went on a wild buying spree of an estimated 3,468 bitcoins by issuing STRC (sustainable preferred stock). With the cash-collecting appeal of STRC’s stable 11.5% dividend yield, Strategy’s “printing money to buy Bitcoin” strategy is running full speed, with its total holdings nearing the 770,000-coin mark.

Strategy (MicroStrategy) seems to never have enough! While the community is still marveling at the feat it earlier this week estimated already bought 8,000 bitcoins, this “Bitcoin treasury” company led by Michael Saylor, in the early hours of today, once again showed the depth of its bottomless pockets to the market.
On April 10, 2026, the Bitcoin community was ignited again by Strategy’s frenzy of buying. According to a live-tracking report posted by the crypto media outlet Bitcoin Magazine on X (formerly Twitter), Strategy that day reportedly made a massive purchase of as many as 3,468 bitcoins.

Strategy is able to keep sweeping up the market with such relentless momentum thanks to the innovative financial tool it launched earlier this year — STRC (Stretch Sustainable Preferred Stock).
STRC’s par value is stable at $100 and it offers as much as an approximately 11.5% annualized return (APY), with dividends paid out monthly in cash. These stable, high-yield characteristics precisely hit the pain point of the world’s huge “fixed income” investors, making it extremely popular in traditional financial markets.
Strategy’s playbook is humorously dubbed by the community as a legitimate “printing money to buy Bitcoin” machine: through an At-The-Market (ATM) offering mechanism, they continuously sell STRC preferred shares in the market to raise a steady stream of cash, and then turn around to use nearly all of these funds to drive purchases into Bitcoin spot holdings. This “buy Bitcoin with preferred stock” model has become the company’s most core capital-expansion engine in 2026.
Over the past few weeks, Strategy has already set multiple astonishing records for weekly purchases ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of bitcoins. As this “cash-collecting Bitcoin-buying machine” continues running at high speed, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings are steadily closing in on the historic threshold of 770,000 BTC.
