Strategy acquired an estimated 1,762 BTC over two days this week, including 1,000 BTC on Tuesday alone, its largest single-day accumulation since the automated buying program launched in July 2025, according to CoinDesk.
That follows a separate purchase of 3,015 BTC on March 2 for approximately $204.1 million at an average price of $67,700 per coin.
The March 2 buy is confirmed directly by Strategy’s own post: 3,015 BTC at roughly $67,700 each, totaling approximately $204.1 million. The Tuesday and Wednesday purchases add an estimated 1,762 BTC on top of that.
Combined, Strategy acquired roughly 4,777 BTC across three days at a total cost somewhere in the range of $325 million, depending on the execution prices for the Tuesday and Wednesday tranches.
As of March 1, Strategy’s total holdings stood at 720,737 BTC, acquired for approximately $54.77 billion at an average price of $75,985 per coin. At today’s price of $72,702, the entire position sits underwater relative to that average cost basis by roughly $3,283 per coin, a total unrealized loss of approximately $2.37 billion across the full stack. That number moves significantly with price. A sustained move above $75,985 flips the entire position to unrealized profit.
This is the part that confuses observers who apply traditional portfolio logic to what Saylor is doing. A conventional fund manager sitting on a $2 billion unrealized loss would be reducing exposure, not adding to it. Strategy is doing the opposite, and the reasoning is not irrational even if it is aggressive.
The average cost basis of $75,985 was built over years of purchases at various prices. Each new purchase at current prices below that average pulls the cost basis down. The 3,015 BTC bought at $67,700 on March 2 reduced the overall average slightly. The Tuesday purchase at whatever price was executed does the same. If Bitcoin eventually trades above the blended average, the entire accumulated position generates a profit. The strategy only fails permanently if Bitcoin never recovers above the average entry price, which is the risk Saylor is explicitly accepting.
The 1,000 BTC single-day purchase being the largest since July 2025 is a signal worth noting. It suggests the buying program accelerated specifically when price was in the high $60,000 range, treating the dip as an opportunity rather than a warning.
720,737 BTC represents approximately 3.43% of Bitcoin’s total capped supply of 21 million coins. One company controls that concentration. The $54.77 billion cost basis makes Strategy one of the largest holders of any single asset class among publicly traded companies globally, measured by conviction relative to company size.
That concentration creates a feedback loop that is hard to model cleanly. Strategy buying drives price up, which increases the paper value of its existing holdings, which supports its ability to raise more capital to buy more Bitcoin. It also works in reverse. A sustained price decline pressures the balance sheet, potentially constraining future purchases at exactly the moment the strategy would call for buying more.
Today’s Bitcoin move to $72,702 partially closes the gap to Strategy’s $75,985 average. Whether it closes it entirely depends on how March finishes, and the seasonal data from earlier today suggests caution about assuming the month ends where it is now.
