April 13, 2026 marked a milestone that even the most aggressive STRC bulls didn’t see coming this fast.
Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock — ticker STRC — just printed over $1 billion in single-day trading volume. Not over a week. Not a rolling average. One session.
And the kicker? 100% of that volume cleared above the $100 par threshold, meaning every single share that traded was eligible to trigger Strategy’s at-the-market offering. The ATM didn’t just run on Monday. It ran at full capacity.
We track this in real time with our STRC ATM Tracker, and even by the standards of what’s been an extraordinary stretch, today stands alone.
The Confirmed Numbers: Last Week’s 8-K Was Already Historic
Before we get to today, let’s anchor in what we already know — because the SEC filing that dropped this morning tells a story of its own.
For the week of April 6–12, Strategy’s 8-K filing confirmed:
| Metric | Confirmed (8-K) |
|---|---|
| Shares Sold | 10,028,363 |
| Net Proceeds | $1.001 Billion |
| BTC Acquired | 13,927 BTC |
| Avg BTC Purchase Price | $71,902 |
| Capture Rate | 81% |
That’s $1 billion in net ATM proceeds in a single week — the second time STRC has crossed that threshold. The first was the week of March 9–15, when the program generated $1.18B in proceeds and acquired 16,815 BTC at a $70,194 average.
But here’s what makes the April 6–12 week structurally different: the capture rate surged to 81%. For context, that rate was 64% the week prior (Mar 30–Apr 5), 61% the week before that, and just 45% in early March. The trend line is steep, and it tells you that Strategy’s execution desk is getting more aggressive in capturing eligible volume — or that market conditions are making it easier to do so. Likely both.

Today’s Session: The Billion-Dollar Monday
Now layer Monday on top of that. From the STRC ATM Tracker taken at 4:10 PM ET during after-hours trading:
- Volume: $1.06 billion
- % Above $100 Par: 100%
- Estimated ATM Proceeds: ~$796 million
- Estimated BTC Acquired: ~10,834 BTC
- BTC Price at Execution: ~$73,400
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’s estimated acquisition at 2,408% of daily mining supply.
Strategy didn’t just buy more Bitcoin than the network produced on Monday. It bought roughly 24 times more.
Here’s a full snapshot from today’s projections after market close:
Back-to-Back Billion-Dollar Weeks And the Third Is Loading
Zoom out and the pattern is unmistakable. Here’s how the last several confirmed weeks stack up:
| Week | Net Proceeds | BTC Acquired | Capture Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 2–8 | $377.1M | 5,315 | 45% |
| Mar 9–15 | $1.18B | 16,815 | 61% |
| Mar 30 – Apr 5 | $329.9M | 4,871 | 64% |
| Apr 6–12 | $1.001B | 13,927 | 81% |
| Apr 13 (Mon only, est.) | ~$796M | ~10,834 | 81%* |
Using the most recent confirmed capture rate as baseline.
The week of April 6–12 was a confirmed billion-dollar week. Today alone — a single Monday — is already tracking at roughly 80% of last week’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’s history.

Why 100% Above Par Matters
For anyone unfamiliar with the mechanics: STRC’s ATM program 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.
On most active days, that number runs somewhere between 80% and 95%. On Monday, it was 100%. Every share that changed hands did so at par or better. There was no dead volume. The entire session was eligible for ATM execution.
For a stock with over $1 billion in daily turnover, that’s extraordinary market structure. It suggests consistent institutional demand at and above par — not retail-driven spikes that briefly touch $100 and retrace.
The STRC ATM Heatmap breaks this down in 15-minute intervals across the trading day. On days like Monday, the heatmap runs solid — no gaps, no dead zones.
The Cumulative Picture: 780,897 BTC and Growing
As of the latest confirmed data, Strategy holds approximately 780,897 BTC at an average cost basis of ~$75,577 per coin. Total cost: roughly $59 billion.
The STRC ATM program alone has generated over $3.5 billion in net proceeds across its ATM offerings since inception (separate from the $2.52B IPO), funding the acquisition of approximately 47,705 BTC through at-the-market sales.
And with the current week already on pace to potentially add another 10,000+ BTC from Monday alone, the gap between Strategy and every other corporate Bitcoin holder on the planet continues to widen.
What the Capture Rate Tells You
If there’s one metric that sophisticated STRC observers should be watching, it’s the capture rate — the percentage of eligible volume (above $100) that Strategy actually converts into ATM proceeds.
Here’s the recent trajectory:
- Early March: 45%
- Mid-March: 61%
- Late March / Early April: 64%
- Last Week (confirmed): 81%
This isn’t noise. It’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% — you can’t sell more shares than the market is offering to buy — but 81% is already remarkably aggressive by ATM standards.
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’t chasing price. The bid is coming to them.
What Comes Next
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’s proceeds. And a capture rate that has nearly doubled in six weeks.
The STRC ATM isn’t slowing down. If anything, the data suggests it’s reaching a new operating regime entirely — one where billion-dollar weeks may become the baseline rather than the exception.
We’ll be tracking every session, every 15-minute interval, every 8-K filing as it drops.
