Deutsche Bank AG has increased its holdings in Strategy Inc. (MSTR) to 784,919 shares by the end of Q1 2026, up from 731,704 shares at the end of 2025. Despite the increase in shares, the value of the holdings decreased to approximately $98 million from $111 million due to a decline in Strategy's stock price, which fell from over $150 to nearly $125. This move provides Deutsche Bank with indirect exposure to cryptocurrency, as it prepares to launch crypto custody services in partnership with Bitpanda and Taurus. Strategy Inc. reported its first-quarter earnings, revealing a 22% increase in Bitcoin holdings to 818,334 BTC as of May 3. The company achieved a 9.4% BTC yield and nearly $5 billion in BTC gains year to date. Despite a quarterly net loss of $12.5 billion due to unrealized losses on digital assets, Strategy saw revenue growth to $124 million and maintained over $2.2 billion in cash reserves. The firm continues to expand its Bitcoin treasury and digital credit operations, with STRC stock attracting significant market interest.
