- Strategy Inc. now holds 761,068 BTC, spending $57.6B, representing 3.4% of total supply.
- Strategy continues aggressive Bitcoin buys, adding 23,134 BTC in 2026 for $1.65B so far.
- Global firms like Metaplanet and Capital ₿ also expand crypto treasuries amid rising institutional interest.
Strategy Inc. has ramped up its Bitcoin buying, snapping up 22,337 BTC between March 9 and March 13, 2026. CEO Michael Saylor shared on X that the purchases cost about $1.57 billion, with each coin averaging $70,194.
“Stretch the Orange Dots,” Saylor hinted, signaling the firm’s ongoing commitment to Bitcoin despite price fluctuations. The latest acquisition brings Strategy’s total holdings to 761,068 BTC, representing more than 3.4% of the fixed 21 million Bitcoin supply.
Strategy’s latest purchases cost the company about $57.6 billion in total, paying roughly $75,700 per coin on average. Considering that the current value of one bitcoin is $74,000, the actual value of their holdings is closer to $50 billion, thus indicating that the company is experiencing an unrealized loss compared to what they paid.
Last week, Strategy bought another 17,994 BTC for $1.28 billion, showing that the firm continues to aggressively add to its Bitcoin stash even as prices fluctuate. As of March 16, 2026, Strategy Inc. has bought about 23,134 BTC for $1.65 billion this year. In 2025, it purchased 101,873 BTC for $8.92 billion, growing its holdings from roughly 448,000 to 672,500 BTC.

Funding Strategy and Equity Instruments
Strategy paid for its recent Bitcoin purchases by selling shares and issuing preferred stock. The company used at-the-market programs for its Class A stock (MSTR) and its perpetual Stretch preferred shares (STRC).
It also offers other preferred stock programs—STRK, STRF, and STRD—designed for different types of investors. STRD carries a 10% dividend but doesn’t convert to regular shares, making it the riskiest option with potentially higher returns.
On the other hand, STRF provides a 10% cumulative dividend and takes a safer approach. STRC pays a variable monthly dividend, which helps keep its price close to the $100 starting value.
Global Corporate Bitcoin Moves
Strategy isn’t the only company boosting its Bitcoin holdings. Japan’s Metaplanet recently raised about $255 million from global investors to support a $531 million Bitcoin plan. The Tokyo-listed company also issued fixed-strike warrants, which could bring in an additional 44.5 billion yen if exercised.
Meanwhile, Europe’s Capital ₿ bought 8 BTC for €0.5 million, bringing its total holdings to 2,844 BTC valued at €264.4 million. Alexandre Laizet, Capital ₿ Board Director, said, “Capital ₿ has acquired 8 BTC for €0.5 million at €60,934 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 0.29% YTD.”
