April 13th, 2026 was an unforgettable event that even the wildest bulls of STRC didn’t see coming so quickly.
Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock – ticker STRC – has just gone public $1 billion in one day sales. Not more than a week. Not rolling average. One piece.
And the thrower? 100% of the volume was removed above $100 at that levelmeaning that every unit that was sold was worth starting Strategy is what gives in the market. The ATM just didn’t work on Monday. It was fast enough.
We track this in real time with our own Picture of STRC ATMand even by the standards of what has been an astonishing stretch, today it stands alone.
The Confirmed Number: Last Week’s 8-K Was the Past
Before we get to today, let’s confirm 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 for Sale | 10,028,363 |
| Net Proceeds | $1.001 billion |
| Available BTC | 13,927 BTC |
| Avg BTC price | $71,902 |
| Recording Rate | 81% |
That’s it $1 billion in all ATMs over a week – the second time STRC exceeded that limit. The first was the week of March 9-15, when the program generated $1.18B and earned 16,815 BTC at a cost of $70,194.
But here’s what makes the week of April 6-12 different: the the number of hostages rose to 81%. In his words, the rate was 64% the week before (Mar 30–Apr 5), 61% the week before, and only 45% in early March. The line is steep, and it tells you that the Strategy desk is getting better at picking up the right volume – or that the market is making it easier to do so. Probably both.

Today’s Episode: The Billion-Dollar Monday
Now layer Monday on top of that. From the Picture of STRC ATM taken at 4:10 PM ET during trading hours:
- Volume: $1.06 billion
- % Above $100 Par: 100%
- Estimated ATM Earnings: ~ $ 796 million
- BTC Estimate EarnedPrice: ~ 10,834 BTC
- BTC Price for ExecutionPrice: ~$73,400
Let the number rest for a while. About 10,834 BTC in one day. The Bitcoin network mines about 450 BTC per day after half. This makes Monday available 2,408% of daily mining.
Strategy did not just buy Bitcoin more than the network created on Monday. It bought about 24 times.
Here’s a full overview of what’s going on today after the market closes:
Weeks Back Billion Dollars And The Third Is Opening
Look from a distance and the view is simple. Here’s how the last few guaranteed weeks stack up:
| A week | Net Proceeds | Available BTC | Recording Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 2-8 | $377.1M | 5,315 | 45% |
| March 9-15 | $1.18B | 16,815 | 61% |
| March 30 – Apr 5 | $329.9M | 4,871 | 64% |
| April 6-12 | $1.001B | 13,927 | 81% |
| Apr 13 (Only mine, est.) | $796M | ~ 10,834 | 81%* |
Using the most recent recorded vulnerability as a starting point.
The week of April 6-12 was a guaranteed billion dollar week. Today alone – Monday alone – is already tracking nearly 80% of last week’s total revenue. If STRC volume is anything close to this through Friday, we could be looking at the biggest single-week ATM performance in the program’s history.

Because 100% Above Par Matters
For anyone who doesn’t know the mechanics: STRC’s ATM program it only activates when shares are trading at or above $100 in value. Below, no new shares are issued, no coins are created, and no Bitcoin is bought. Volume above $100 is the entry metric for all systems.
On most working days, this number ranges between 80% and 95%. Monday, it was 100%. Every part that changed hands did so more or less slowly. There was no dead volume. The entire session was perfect for the ATM to be killed.
For a stock with $1 billion in daily returns, that’s an amazing market. It shows the steady demand for institutions and beyond – not trade-driven spikes that briefly touch $100 and resume.
The Picture of STRC ATM it breaks this every 15 minutes during the trading day. On days like Monday, the heat map is solid – no gaps, no dead zones.
Additional Image: 780,897 BTC and Growth
According to the most recent confirmation, the Strategy has approx 780,897 BTC at an average cost of ~$75,577 per investment. Total cost: about $59 billion.
STRC’s own ATM program has made a lot of progress $3.5 billion in total revenue across its ATM offering since its inception (as opposed to the $2.52B IPO), and helped get approx 47,705 BTC through the stock market.
And with the current week already on pace to add another 10,000+ BTC since Monday alone, the gap between Strategy and the rest of the Bitcoin industry in the world is widening.
What the Drawing Tells You
If there’s one metric that top STRC watchers should be looking at, it’s the volume of transactions – the amount of qualified volume (over $100) that the Strategy converts into ATM cash.
Here is the latest version:
- Early March: 45%
- In the middle of March61%
- Late March/early April64%
- Last week (confirmed): 81%
This is not noise. It is a deliberate, visible increase. Overcompensation means that the Strategy is offering shares in a large proportion of the volume available above. The ceiling is 100% – you can’t sell more shares than the market is willing to buy – but 81% is already incredibly aggressive by ATM standards.
For the capital markets experts reading this: that kind of growth on $1B+ volume means a lot of water, stability and more. Strategy is not chasing value. Requests are coming to them.
What Will Follow
Nine consecutive days of ATM sales over $100 par. Billions of dollars back to back billions of dollars confirmed by SEC filings. One Monday that equaled the total amount of the previous week. And the arrest rate has almost doubled in six weeks.
STRC’s ATM is not slow. If anything, the data suggests it’s reaching a whole new level of dominance — where billion-dollar weeks could be the foundation rather than the opposite.
We’ll be monitoring every session, every 15 minutes, as each 8-K file goes down.
