Strategy Now Owns Nearly 4% Of All Bitcoin

Business intelligence firm Strategy has added another large batch of Bitcoin (BTC) to its treasury, continuing its aggressive accumulation tactic. The company confirmed the latest purchase in a post by executive chairman Michael Saylor. The move further strengthens Strategy’s position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.

Strategy Adds 17,994 Bitcoin

Michael Saylor announced that Strategy acquired 17,994 BTC for approximately $1.28 billion, paying an average price of around $70,946 per Bitcoin.

The purchase significantly increases the company’s already massive Bitcoin treasury, which has grown steadily through a series of acquisitions over the past several years.

Following the latest transaction, Strategy now holds 738,731 BTC in total.

According to Saylor’s X post on March 9, the firm has spent approximately $56.04 billion accumulating its Bitcoin position. The company’s average purchase price now sits around $75,862 per BTC across all acquisitions.

Largest Corporate Bitcoin Treasury

Strategy’s approach to amassing Bitcoin has made it the largest publicly known corporate holder of the digital asset. The company began accumulating Bitcoin in 2020 as part of a treasury reserve strategy designed to hedge against inflation and currency debasement.

Since then, Strategy has repeatedly expanded its holdings through a mix of cash purchases, debt financing, and equity offerings. This game plan has turned the firm into one of the most closely watched institutional players in the cryptocurrency market.

Large purchases by Strategy are often closely tracked by investors and analysts because they can signal institutional confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term outlook.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is currently trading at $68,873.30, gaining 2.4% in the last 24 hours, advancing 2.3% across the week, and reducing to 0.5% the losses accumulated over the past month, per the latest data.

Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation Continues

Strategy’s ongoing accumulation tactic reflects a broader trend of corporations and institutional investors exploring Bitcoin as a treasury asset.

Supporters argue that Bitcoin’s fixed supply and decentralized design make it an attractive hedge against monetary expansion. Critics, however, continue to highlight the volatility risks associated with holding large amounts of cryptocurrency on corporate balance sheets.

Despite those concerns, Strategy has consistently maintained its long-term commitment to Bitcoin.

With nearly 740,000 BTC now on its balance sheet, the company remains one of the most influential institutional participants in the Bitcoin market.
