Strategy disclosed in an SEC filing on March 16 that it acquired 22,337 Bitcoin between March 9 and March 15, 2026. The company paid approximately $1.57 billion for the position at an average price of $70,194 per coin, inclusive of fees and expenses. Total Bitcoin holdings as of March 15 stand at 761,068 BTC, acquired for an aggregate cost of $57.61 billion at a blended average of $75,696 per coin.

The purchase was funded through Strategy’s at-the-market equity offering program.

During the same period, the company sold 11,818,467 shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock — ticker STRC — generating net proceeds of $1.18 billion. It also sold 2,833,668 shares of Class A common stock for an additional $396 million in net proceeds. Combined, the two offerings produced $1.576 billion, covering the full cost of the acquisition.
