The price of Bitcoin rose more than 5% in the evening on April 13, rising near the level of $ 75,000 and marking its strongest daily movement in several weeks as traders responded to a mix of high pressure and technical stagnation.
The rally follows several days of choppy trading, with the price of bitcoin holding a tight range between support around $68,000 and resistance at $75,000 amid political tensions related to US-Iran developments over the past few weeks.
At the beginning of the week, the commodity fell to $ 70,000 after the collapse of diplomatic talks and the blockade of the American naval forces in the Strait of Hormuz, which caused oil prices to rise and put risks at risk.
The move also comes as broader markets remain under pressure. Oil prices rose above $100 per barrel following rising tensions in the Middle East, while expectations of an imminent Federal Reserve rate cut eased amid persistent inflation. Despite these storms, bitcoin has shown resilience, holding above $70,000 for most of the past week.
Bitcoin Price and Accumulation Strategy
The price of Bitcoin started the day’s trading near $70,000 and rose to close on Monday. Analysts have flagged a large pool of short positions above $72,000–$73,500, creating conditions for a quick move when resistance levels are broken. As prices rose through that band, the shutdown accelerated the rally, sending the price of bitcoin to the top of its multi-week range.
On top of this, the Strategy’s STRC at-the-market (ATM) program reached a new milestone on April 13, 2026, as its preferred stock recorded more than 1 billion in one-day trading volume, with all activity occurring above the $100 price required to trigger a share issuance.
This enabled the company to fully utilize its ATM system throughout the process.
Based on tracker ratings from Bitcoin for companiesvolume generated an estimated $796 million in one day, supporting a potential purchase of 10,834 BTC at an estimated price close to $73,400.
That number represents more than 24 times the daily Bitcoin mining supply following the recent halving.
The crackdown follows a total of $1.001 billion in ATM withdrawals during the week of April 6-12, according to the latest SEC filing.
During that time, Strategy received 13,927 BTC for an estimated value of $71,902. The company’s capture rate – the share of the fair trade value converted into profit – rose to 81%, from 45% at the beginning of March, indicating a very strong execution and strong market demand.
Recent weeks have shown a clear acceleration, in times of billions of dollars and increased performance in capital expenditure. Monday alone accounted for close to 80% of the previous week’s gross, putting the current week on track to be the biggest in the show’s history.
The strategy now holds approximately 780,897 BTC, which has been acquired at a total value of 59 billion dollars. STRC’s ATM program has generated more than $3.5 billion in revenue to date, solidifying the company’s position as the largest Bitcoin business operator and demonstrating the continued expansion of its fundraising strategy.
