U.S.-based business intelligence firm Strategy has recorded a BTC Gain of roughly 7,826 bitcoin so far in 2026. At current prices, the gain is valued at about $551 million despite declines in bitcoin’s market price.

Highlighting the company’s performance, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor noted a 1.2% Bitcoin Yield for the year-to-date period. He described BTC Gain as “the closest economic analog to Net Income on the Bitcoin Standard.”

Strategy’s Bitcoin Metrics and Market Position

BTC Yield measures the growth in bitcoin per share over a period, showing how efficiently Strategy adds bitcoin relative to its diluted shares. BTC Gain represents the total increase in bitcoin, with its dollar value calculated using the current bitcoin price. These metrics provide insight into the company’s performance on a Bitcoin Standard.

As of the latest update, Strategy holds 738,731 BTC. With bitcoin priced at $70,450, the total reserve value stands at about $52.04 billion, while the average acquisition cost is $75,985 per BTC. This shows that despite accumulating a large treasury, the company is slightly underwater on paper due to recent market fluctuations.

Volatility in bitcoin remains elevated, with 30-day historical volatility at 52%, one-year volatility at 43%, and implied volatility at 54%. Such price swings highlight the ongoing market risks affecting Strategy’s BTC holdings and the potential for future gains or losses.

Strategy’s 2026 Bitcoin Purchases

Strategy’s YTD performance builds on a strong 2025 record, when it achieved a 22.8% BTC Yield. That year, BTC Gain totaled 101,873 bitcoin, worth $8.915 billion, though the company notes these figures are supplemental to GAAP measures.

Building on that momentum, Strategy continues to add bitcoin in 2026. Recent purchases reflect this approach. Between March 2 and March 8, it bought 17,994 BTC for $1.28 billion. The purchases were funded mainly through $900 million in common stock sales and $377 million in perpetual preferred shares.

Earlier, from February 23 to March 1, it acquired 3,015 BTC for $204.1 million. This brings the total bitcoin added in 2026 to at least 21,009 BTC before accounting for dilution.
