Last Monday, Strategy acquired 3,015 BTC at an average price of $67,700 per coin. This brought the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 720,737 BTC, with a total investment of about $54.77 billion. The current average price per coin stands near $75,985. Strategy remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally.

STRC Stock Sees Higher Trading

Strategy’s STRC preferred stock experienced a jump in trading volume earlier this week, reaching $260 million on March 6. Market observers link this increase to the company’s ability to fund additional Bitcoin purchases.

STRC preferred stock has been used to raise capital for previous Bitcoin acquisitions. Through at-the-market offerings, investor demand can be converted into funding for new purchases. Any new Bitcoin transactions would typically be disclosed through filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Bitcoin Market Conditions

Bitcoin was trading around $67,292, down about 0.5% over the last 24 hours. Prices recently fell from levels near $70,000, reflecting weakness across the broader cryptocurrency market.

Analysts point to macroeconomic pressures as a factor in market performance. Persistent inflation, rising unemployment, and tight liquidity have affected trading. The latest Nonfarm Payrolls report showed higher-than-expected job losses. Some institutions, including BlackRock, have limited investor withdrawals due to low liquidity.

Strategy’s Approach to Bitcoin

Saylor has emphasized Bitcoin’s limited supply, stating,

Strategy continues to rely on careful capital management and instruments like STRC preferred stock to fund purchases.

Even as market conditions remain challenging, Strategy’s activity shows ongoing interest in Bitcoin. Investors are closely watching regulatory filings and official announcements for updates on future purchases.
