MicroStrategy’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation continues amid increased institutional investor exposure, despite dilution concerns.

STRC Stock Dominates Market Action

Strategy has emerged as one of the largest holders of Bitcoin globally, alongside major entities such as Satoshi Nakamoto, BlackRock, and Coinbase. According to market observers, Strategy’s preferred share program, STRC, has accelerated the company’s Bitcoin accumulation.

The firm is currently acquiring an estimated 1,940 BTC per day. These purchases have occasionally surged to roughly 5,700 BTC on peak acquisition days. If the current pace of accumulation persists, analysts like Lark Davis noted that Strategy could potentially surpass the estimated Bitcoin holdings attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto by March 2027.

The Series A preferred stock STRC pays a variable cash dividend every month. The current annual rate (as of March 2026) is 11.50% on the $100 stated amount. Moreover, dividend rate is adjusted every month specifically to keep the share price trading tightly around $100. This “stretch” mechanism helps curb most volatility.
