Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy could buy roughly $30 billion worth of bitcoin this year if its current acquisition pace holds, according to JPMorgan analysts, marking a potential acceleration beyond the company\u2019s already aggressive treasury playbook.<\/p>\n

The estimate comes after Strategy added 145,834 BTC so far this year, worth around $11 billion, with JPMorgan noting that much of the buying occurred while BTC traded below the company\u2019s estimated average cost of roughly $75,000. At the current annualized pace, the bank said Strategy\u2019s 2026 purchases would exceed the approximately $22 billion it bought in each of 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan Sees Bitcoin Buying Spree Reacceleration<\/h2>\n

The latest call centers on the speed of Strategy\u2019s buying, not merely the size of its balance sheet. JPMorgan analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said<\/a> the company \u201cappears to have accelerated its Bitcoin purchases again in April,\u201d extending what they described as an opportunity-driven pattern this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrategy appears to have accelerated its Bitcoin purchases again in April,\u201d the analysts said, according to summaries of the note. \u201cThe company is pursuing an opportunity-driven buying strategy throughout 2026, sensitive to market conditions and funding opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

That framing is important. Strategy is not simply buying on a fixed schedule. JPMorgan\u2019s read is that the company has been using price weakness and available financing windows to expand its bitcoin stack, while its stock-market premium gives it a capital-raising mechanism that most corporate bitcoin holders do not have.<\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s premium to net asset value has expanded to around 26% over the past two months, according to reports citing JPMorgan. A larger premium can make equity or debt issuance more attractive, because the company can raise capital above the implied value of the bitcoin it already holds and recycle proceeds into additional BTC purchases.<\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s Balance Sheet Keeps Growing<\/h2>\n

Strategy said on May 5 that it held 818,334 BTC<\/a> as of May 3, representing 22% year-to-date growth. The company also reported $11.68 billion raised year to date, while STRC alone had raised $5.58 billion and cumulative dividends declared and paid on preferred stock had reached $692.5 million.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s own commentary emphasizes the funding side of the model. CEO Phong Le said, \u201cAdoption of Bitcoin continues to grow in 2026. Digital Credit, highlighted by STRC, has been a big success. STRC has shown strong demand, high liquidity, and low volatility.\u201d He added that Strategy raised $5.6 billion in year-to-date STRC gross proceeds and cited growing bitcoin activity from major banks including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citi.<\/p>\n

CFO Andrew Kang framed the preferred-equity platform as a core part of the company\u2019s capital structure. \u201cStrategy is the dominant issuer of Digital Credit<\/a> in the world, with over $13.5 billion of preferred equity outstanding, supported by a fortress Bitcoin balance sheet,\u201d he said. \u201cWe continue to extend our track record of servicing our dividends, having now met our payment obligations on time and in full across 23 consecutive distributions, totaling over $693 million since the launch of our preferred equity products in early 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Trade-Off: Bigger Purchases, Bigger Obligations<\/p>\n

The same structure that enables larger bitcoin purchases also increases Strategy\u2019s ongoing obligations. The company reported a first-quarter net loss of $12.54 billion, or $38.25 per share, driven by a $14.46 billion unrealized loss on digital assets. Strategy\u2019s filings also state that perpetual preferred stock dividends must be paid in perpetuity, and that future obligations could require the company to sell common stock or bitcoin.<\/p>\n

That tension has become harder to ignore after Saylor signaled that Strategy could sell some bitcoin to pay preferred dividends<\/a>, even as he later summarized the firm\u2019s stance in a six-word post: \u201cBuy more bitcoin than you sell.\u201d<\/p>\n

At press time, BTC traded at $79,934.<\/p>\n
