Strategy overtakes BlackRock's IBIT with 815,061 BTC after $2.54B bear market buy, biggest weekly add since November 2024

Michael Saylor's Strategy bought 34,164 BTC for $2.54B between April 13-19 at an average $74,395, pushing holdings to 815,061 BTC and passing BlackRock's IBIT at ~798,000. First time a single corporate treasury has outweighed the largest spot BTC ETF — executed mid-bear market with 86% funded via STRC preferreds and zero MSTR common dilution. Third-largest purchase on record and biggest weekly add since November 2024, even as the rest of the DAT landscape quietly unwinds.
