"Think Even Bigger": Michael Saylor Eyes 1 Million Bitcoin Milestone

Michael Saylor and his firm, Strategy, are accelerating their aggressive Bitcoin acquisition campaign, nearing the significant milestone of 800,000 BTC. Between April 6 and April 12, 2026, the company added another 13,927 BTC to its balance sheet at an average price of USD 71,902 per coin. This billion-dollar purchase was funded through the issuance of STRC shares, bringing their total holdings to 780,897 BTC—approximately 3.74% of the total circulating supply. Currently valued at over USD 58 billion, the firm's portfolio remains the largest corporate treasury of Bitcoin in the world.

The momentum shows no signs of slowing down, as Saylor recently took to social media with the message "Think Even ₿igger," signaling that the next phase of accumulation is already underway. To fuel this growth, the firm successfully raised USD 1 billion in preferred shares within a single week, leaving them with an additional USD 49 billion in planned capital to deploy. The ultimate objective is clear: reaching a total of 1 million BTC by the end of 2026. Market speculators are highly optimistic about the near-term progress, with Polymarket odds placing a 96% probability on the firm hitting the 800,000 BTC mark by May.

While the strategy has been instrumental in stabilizing Bitcoin prices through consistent, high-volume demand, it does not come without financial complexity. The firm currently faces significant unrealized losses depending on market fluctuations and incurs approximately USD 1.2 billion per year in dividend costs to maintain its leveraged position. However, this corporate accumulation perfectly aligns with the broader surge in institutional ETF inflows, reinforcing Bitcoin's status as a foundational asset for modern financial reserves and a hedge against global macroeconomic instability.
