Bitcoin Milestone: Strategy Tops 700,000 BTC After $2.1 Billion Accumulation

Bitcoin holdings by Michael Saylor’s company Strategy have broken yet another corporate treasury record, as the company now holds more than 700,000 BTC, following yet another acquisition worth $2.1 billion in the first quarter of 2026. This acquisition makes Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings one of the largest in the world.

Latest Acquisition and Holdings Growth

Strategy acquired 22,305 BTC, spending approximately $2.13 billion on it, as per documents filed in January 2026. Strategy acquired this amount over several days when the prices of BTC were in the mid $90,000 range. Strategy’s cumulative total now stands at 709,715 BTC, which has been acquired by Strategy over time at an average price of approximately $75,979 per BTC since it started its BTC acquisition process.

The company has been funding its unrelenting purchases through equity offerings and various issuances of preferred stocks via at-the-market programs, which enable Strategy to gradually sell shares to fund BTC purchases.

This latest acquisition is also the biggest weekly BTC purchase by Strategy in more than a year, marking a renewed acceleration in its accumulation strategy following a period where it made more moderate weekly acquisitions.

Corporate Bitcoin Strategy and Market Context

Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin stacking has been driven by a conviction, adopted by Michael Saylor, that Bitcoin symbolizes a better store of value than cash or other conventional assets.

Strategy’s CEO has frequently explained BTC as being less of a short-term trading asset and more of a strategic reserve asset capable of beating conventional asset holdings of equity over time in inflationary or macro-economic conditions. Past acquisitions have included tens of thousands of BTC acquired in a series of tranches in 2025.

The company’s stock (MSTR) has often been used as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure by institutional investors, as holding BTC directly may be cumbersome for some investment portfolios. The accumulation of BTC by Strategy’s BTC typically corresponds to periods when there is heightened institutional interest in BTC, as well as when BTC prices are rising.

With more than 3% of the total circulating supply of BTC, Strategy not only heads the corporate BTC treasury but also has a significant piece of the market share. This is an important indicator of how concentrated the corporate share of the market can become and how it impacts the market and investor sentiments.
