Strategy has expanded its Bitcoin position once again, acquiring 592 BTC for approximately $39.8 million at an average price of $67,286 per coin, according to an update shared by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.

As of February 22, 2026, the company now holds a total of 717,722 BTC, accumulated at an aggregate cost of roughly $54.56 billion. The average acquisition price across its full treasury stands near $76,020 per Bitcoin.

Breakdown of the Latest Purchase

The most recent acquisition represents a relatively modest addition compared to Strategy’s historical buys, but it reinforces the firm’s continued accumulation approach during market weakness.

  • New BTC acquired: 592
  • Capital deployed: ~$39.8 million
  • Average purchase price: ~$67,286
  • Total BTC held: 717,722
  • Total cost basis: ~$54.56 billion
  • Average cost basis overall: ~$76,020

At current market levels, Strategy remains one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin globally.

Accumulation Below Average Cost

The latest purchase was executed well below the company’s average cost basis of $76,020. This effectively lowers the blended cost of its treasury and aligns with Strategy’s long-standing strategy of buying into drawdowns rather than chasing strength.

With Bitcoin having corrected significantly from its October 2025 all-time high near $126,000, Strategy appears to be continuing its accumulation during a broader risk-off environment.

Market Implications

While 592 BTC is not a market-moving size on its own, the signal effect often carries weight. Strategy’s continued buying during periods of volatility reinforces its conviction in Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset.

The company now controls over 717,000 BTC, representing a substantial share of circulating supply. As Bitcoin’s supply remains fixed and issuance continues to decline post-halving cycles, sustained corporate accumulation can gradually tighten available liquidity over time.

For now, the move underscores a consistent theme: Strategy is still buying dips, not waiting for momentum confirmation.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…

(Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Getty Images St. Louis Cardinals lifer Adam Wainwright is a pretty easygoing guy, and not unlikely to talk with you about baseball traditions and barbecue, or even share a joke. That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…
