The first was the week of March 9\u201315, when the program generated $1.18B in proceeds and acquired 16,815 BTC at a $70,194 average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here&#8217;s what makes the April 6\u201312 week structurally different: the <strong>capture rate surged to 81%<\/strong>. For context, that rate was 64% the week prior (Mar 30\u2013Apr 5), 61% the week before that, and just 45% in early March. The trend line is steep, and it tells you that Strategy&#8217;s execution desk is getting more aggressive in capturing eligible volume \u2014 or that market conditions are making it easier to do so. Likely both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can view the full confirmed weekly breakdown on the <a href=\"https:\/\/strc-tracker-theta.vercel.app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>live STRC ATM Dashboard<\/strong><\/a>, where 8-K data is integrated the day it&#8217;s filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Today&#8217;s Session: The Billion-Dollar Monday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now layer Monday on top of that. From the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinforcorporations.com\/strc-atm-tracker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>STRC ATM Tracker<\/strong><\/a> taken at 4:10 PM ET during after-hours trading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Volume<\/strong>: $1.06 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>% Above $100 Par<\/strong>: 100%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Estimated ATM Proceeds<\/strong>: ~$796 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Estimated BTC Acquired<\/strong>: ~10,834 BTC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>BTC Price at Execution<\/strong>: ~$73,400<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let that number breathe for a moment. An estimated 10,834 BTC in a single day. The Bitcoin network mines approximately 450 BTC per day post-halving. That puts Monday&#8217;s estimated acquisition at <strong>2,408% of daily mining supply<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy didn&#8217;t just buy more Bitcoin than the network produced on Monday.

Today alone \u2014 a single Monday \u2014 is already tracking at roughly 80% of last week&#8217;s total proceeds. If STRC volume holds anything close to this pace through Friday, we could be looking at the largest single-week ATM execution in the program&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We publish these numbers weekly. <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinforcorporations.com\/strc-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sign up for the free STRC Weekly data report<\/strong><\/a> to get confirmed 8-K data, tracker estimates, and context delivered to your inbox every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why 100% Above Par Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For anyone unfamiliar with the mechanics: <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/bitcoin-for-corporations\/strc-the-bitcoin-dca\">STRC&#8217;s ATM program<\/a> only activates when shares trade at or above the $100 par value. Below that, no new shares are issued, no proceeds are generated, and no Bitcoin is purchased. The percentage of volume above $100 is the gating metric for the entire machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On most active days, that number runs somewhere between 80% and 95%. On Monday, it was <strong>100%<\/strong>. Every share that changed hands did so at par or better. There was no dead volume. The entire session was eligible for ATM execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a stock with over $1 billion in daily turnover, that&#8217;s extraordinary market structure. It suggests consistent institutional demand at and above par \u2014 not retail-driven spikes that briefly touch $100 and retrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinforcorporations.com\/strc-atm-tracker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>STRC ATM Heatmap<\/strong><\/a> breaks this down in 15-minute intervals across the trading day. On days like Monday, the heatmap runs solid \u2014 no gaps, no dead zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Cumulative Picture: 780,897 BTC and Growing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JUST IN: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Strategy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Strategy<\/a> ($MSTR) acquired 13,927 BTC for ~$1.00B at an avg price of ~$71,902 per BTC<br><br>ATM activity (net proceeds):<br>\u27a4 $1,001.3M via STRC ATM<br><br>\ud83d\udfe0 Total holdings: 780,897 BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FDoutT9wUj\">pic.twitter.com\/FDoutT9wUj<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bitcoin For Corporations (@BitcoinForCorps) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BitcoinForCorps\/status\/2043669080431804701?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 13, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of the latest confirmed data, Strategy holds approximately <strong>780,897 BTC<\/strong> at an average cost basis of ~$75,577 per coin.

It&#8217;s a deliberate, observable escalation. A higher capture rate means Strategy is issuing shares into a larger portion of the available above-par volume. The ceiling is 100% \u2014 you can&#8217;t sell more shares than the market is offering to buy \u2014 but 81% is already remarkably aggressive by ATM standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the capital markets professionals reading this: that kind of capture rate on a $1B+ volume day implies deep, sustained liquidity at and above par. Strategy isn&#8217;t chasing price. The bid is coming to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Comes Next<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nine consecutive trading days of ATM activity above $100 par. Back-to-back billion-dollar volume weeks confirmed by SEC filings. A single Monday that nearly matched all of last week&#8217;s proceeds. And a capture rate that has nearly doubled in six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The STRC ATM isn&#8217;t slowing down. If anything, the data suggests it&#8217;s reaching a new operating regime entirely \u2014 one where billion-dollar weeks may become the baseline rather than the exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ll be tracking every session, every 15-minute interval, every 8-K filing as it drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Track the STRC ATM live<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinforcorporations.com\/strc-atm-tracker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bitcoinforcorporations.com\/strc-atm-tracker\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Get the weekly data report in your inbox<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinforcorporations.com\/strc-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bitcoinforcorporations.com\/strc-report<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong>&nbsp;This content was prepared on behalf of&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinforcorporations.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bitcoin For Corporations<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;for informational purposes only.
