(Background recap: Strategy invests another $1.28 billion to buy 17,994 Bitcoin! Total holdings surpass 738,000, Bitcoin price exceeds $68,000)
(Additional context: MicroStrategy is on a roll! Strategy invests another $200 million to acquire 3,015 Bitcoin, surpassing 720,000 in total holdings)
Led by Bitcoin enthusiast Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy once again demonstrates unwavering conviction in its strategy. According to the latest Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2026, Taipei time, the company has executed another aggressive Bitcoin accumulation plan within the past week.
Buying 22,000+ Bitcoin in a single week at an average price of $70,194
The filing details that between March 9 and March 15, 2026, MicroStrategy purchased approximately 22,337 Bitcoin with cash. The total expenditure for this acquisition was about $1.57 billion, with an average purchase price of $70,194 per Bitcoin (including fees and expenses).
Notably, the driving force behind MicroStrategy’s substantial purchasing power is its innovative capital market operations, especially the recent sale of its highly sought-after STRC Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, which has provided the company with a steady stream of liquidity.
Total holdings reach 761,068 Bitcoin, with a total cost of $57.6 billion
With this latest purchase of 22,000+ Bitcoin, MicroStrategy’s balance sheet has expanded further. As of March 15, 2026, the total Bitcoin held by the company and its subsidiaries has reached 761,068.
In terms of cost, the total expenditure to acquire over 760,000 Bitcoin is approximately $57.6 billion, raising the average cost basis to about $75,696 per Bitcoin. Given the current market price of Bitcoin around $72,000 to $73,000, MicroStrategy’s overall position is near break-even or slightly in a loss, but Saylor remains undeterred, continuing to execute his long-term dollar-cost averaging strategy.
Currently, MicroStrategy holds an absolute dominance in the corporate Bitcoin reserve race, far surpassing competitors. The market is closely watching how this “dual-helix growth” model—combining stock financing with crypto assets—will continue to influence the market cycle ahead.
