Bitcoin treasury company Strategy acquired an additional 17,994 BTC for approximately $1.28 billion at an average price of $70,946 per bitcoin between March 2 and March 8, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.
Strategy now holds a total of 738,731 BTC — worth around $49 billion — bought at an average price of $75,862 per bitcoin for a total cost of around $56 billion, including fees and expenses, according to the company’s co-founder and executive chairman, Michael Saylor.
That position represents more than 3.4% of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply and is currently sitting on roughly $7 billion in mark-to-market losses.
The latest acquisitions were made using proceeds from at-the-market sales of its Class A common stock, MSTR, and perpetual Stretch preferred stock, STRC.
Strategy’s STRK, STRC, STRF, and STRD perpetual preferred stock’s respective $21 billion, $4.2 billion, $2.1 billion, and $4.2 billion ATM programs are in addition to the firm’s “42/42” plan, which targets a total capital raise of $84 billion in equity offerings and convertible notes for bitcoin acquisitions through 2027.
STRD is non‑convertible with a 10% non‑cumulative dividend and the highest risk‑reward profile. STRK is convertible with an 8% non‑cumulative dividend, allowing equity upside. STRF is non-convertible with a 10% cumulative dividend, making it the most conservative option. STRC is a variable‑rate, cumulative preferred stock offering monthly dividends, with adjustable rates designed to keep it near par.
‘The second century begins’
Saylor gave his usual Sunday hint at the firm’s latest set of acquisitions ahead of time, sharing an update on Strategy’s bitcoin acquisition tracker, stating, “The second century begins” — referencing that the firm has now made over 100 sets of bitcoin acquisitions.
Last week, Strategy announced it had purchased another 3,015 BTC for approximately $204 million at an average price of $67,700 per bitcoin — taking its total holdings to 720,737 BTC.
According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, 193 public companies have adopted some form of bitcoin acquisition model. MARA, Tether-backed Twenty One, Metaplanet, Adam Back, and Cantor Fitzgerald-backed Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, Bullish, Riot Platforms, Coinbase, Hut 8, and CleanSpark make up the remainder of the top 10, with 53,822 BTC, 43,514 BTC, 35,102 BTC, 30,021 BTC, 24,300 BTC, 18,005 BTC, 15,389 BTC, 13,696 BTC, and 13,363 BTC, respectively.
However, the value of many of the cohort’s shares is down significantly from their summer 2025 peaks as their market cap-to-net asset value ratios sharply contracted, with Strategy itself down 71%, for example. Strategy’s mNAV currently sits at around 0.99, per Bitcoin Treasuries.
Strategy’s stock gained 3.6% overall last week, but dropped 4.5% on Friday to close at $133.53, according to The Block’s Strategy price page.
