Strategy MSTR Stock Sees $219M Buy From $142B Canadian Firm Amid Bitcoin Conference
Highlights
- Strategy's MSTR stock has bagged a massive investment from Canada's AIMCo.
- The firm bought nearly $219 million worth of Strategy's shares, according to a recent filing.
- The MSTR share price marked a slight uptick in the pre-market trading session today.
A Canadian government-backed investment firm has injected fresh capital into Michael Saylor’s Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) stock. With this, the MSTR stock has received an influx of nearly $219 million amid the Bitcoin Conference 2026.
Strategy Bags Massive Investment From AIMCo
A recent filing reveals that Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), which manages approximately $142 billion in assets, bought 1.38 million shares of Strategy. The acquisition is worth about $219 million.
The acquisition represents its first foray into a Bitcoin treasury company. Hence, it’s safe to say that AIMCo is seeking Bitcoin exposure via investing in the MSTR stock.
Amid this declaration, the MSTR share price gained 1.03% to $159.82 in the premarket session on Thursday. Earlier, the Strategy stock dropped 4.54% on Wednesday, April 29, closing at $158.19.
Moreover, the Canadian fund isn’t alone in this move. Earlier, last week, Capital Group increased its investment in MSTR via its American Funds Fundamental Investors (ANCFX) fund.
At the time, it purchased 4.32 million shares of Strategy, investing $747 million in the MSTR stock. As a result, its holding increased to 10.33 million shares or almost $1.63 billion in value currently, according to regulatory disclosures.
Other filings suggest a surge in interest from index funds too. In April, the $12 trillion Vanguard Group also purchased more than 1.2 million shares of Strategy worth $195 million at the time.
It now owns just over 2 million shares, which is now worth around $323 million via its VOE ETF. Data from the company’s portfolio shows it now accounts for a 0.73% holding in one of Vanguard’s VOE ETF.
Michael Saylor Continues Buying Bitcoin
The share build-up comes at the same time Strategy continues to buy up Bitcoin. The company, led by Michael Saylor, bought 3,273 BTC for about $255 million in late April. The average price was $77,906 per Bitcoin, in line with its earlier acquisitions of the month.
Strategy’s filings reveal the firm now owns 818,334 BTC purchased at a cost basis of over $61.8 billion. The company maintains a lead against BlackRock, which holds 810,077 BTC, per on-chain crypto tools.
Meanwhile, Saylor remained optimistic on Bitcoin’s future, according to his speech at the Bitcoin Conference 2026.
