Strategy has acquired 13,927 Bitcoin for approximately $1 billion, pushing its total holdings to 780,897 BTC and cementing its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world.
The purchase was executed at an average price of $71,902 per bitcoin, according to an announcement by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor on X. As a result, the latest acquisition brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin investment to $59.02 billion, with a blended average purchase price of $75,577 per coin.
The company now holds approximately 3.8% of Bitcoin’s entire circulating supply. This concentration dwarfs any other publicly traded entity. By comparison, the next largest corporate holder, Twenty One Capital, holds just 43,514 BTC.
Strategy Bitcoin Holdings Need Just 2% Growth to Cover Dividends
Ahead of the purchase, Saylor disclosed a striking financial metric. Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings need to appreciate by just 2.05% annually to cover all preferred stock dividends indefinitely, without issuing new common shares.
The company’s dashboard shows approximately 48.7 years of dividend coverage at current reserve levels. This figure underscores the long term sustainability argument Saylor makes for the model. At 2.05%, the threshold sits far below Bitcoin’s historical annualized returns.
Strategy funds its Bitcoin purchases primarily through STRC, its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, which currently yields 11.5% annually. The instrument trades near its $100 par value and pays monthly cash dividends. Proceeds directly finance additional Bitcoin acquisitions.
Strategy Continues Buying Despite $14.5 Billion Unrealized Loss
The latest purchase comes despite significant financial headwinds. Strategy reported $14.5 billion in unrealized losses on its digital asset portfolio for Q1 2026. A roughly 20% decline in Bitcoin’s price pushed its value below the company’s average cost basis of $75,577.
Nevertheless, the firm also reported a BTC Yield of 5.6% year to date for 2026. This key performance metric measures the strategy’s effectiveness on a per-share basis.
The acquisition follows Saylor’s now familiar Sunday signal on X, where he posted “Think Bigger” alongside the company’s cumulative BTC purchase chart. This pattern has preceded every major Bitcoin acquisition since 2020 and historically signals a Monday 8K filing disclosing a new purchase.
Strategy Absorbs Three Times More BTC Than Miners Produce
Strategy has made over 105 Bitcoin purchases since beginning its accumulation strategy in August 2020. The company continues buying at a pace that far exceeds new supply.
In March 2026 alone, Strategy absorbed nearly three times the BTC that the entire global mining network produced. Miners generated approximately 16,200 BTC during the month. Strategy acquired 46,233 BTC in the same period.
Meanwhile, remaining at the market offering capacity across all share classes now totals over $57 billion. This provides ample firepower for continued accumulation.
Path to One Million Bitcoin
With this latest purchase, Strategy moves closer to the symbolic threshold of one million Bitcoin. Some analysts project the company could reach this milestone as early as November 2026 if current acquisition rates hold.
At a monthly investment rate of approximately $2.3 billion and BTC prices near current levels, the math supports the projection. However, continued access to capital markets remains essential.
The stock currently trades at approximately 1.10 times its net asset value. This means investors still pay a premium above the underlying Bitcoin holdings. Whether that premium holds depends on Bitcoin’s price trajectory and Strategy’s ability to continue raising capital through its various financing programs.
For now, Saylor’s message remains consistent: think bigger.
