Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest public holder of Bitcoin, continued aggressively stacking BTC last week, bringing the company’s total reserves above 760,000 Bitcoin.
Strategy acquired 22,337 Bitcoin for $1.57 billion last week, according to a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The purchase ranks among the five largest Bitcoin acquisitions by Strategy on record, following a 17,994 BTC buy for $1.28 billion a week earlier.
The purchase was made at an average price of $70,194 per Bitcoin, below the company’s overall average acquisition price of $75,696, Strategy said. Bitcoin averaged $70,571 for the week of March 9–15 based on daily closing prices.
The acquisition brings its holdings to 761,068 BTC, acquired for a total cost of roughly $57.61 billion, the company said.
The purchase came as Strategy sold record amounts of its perpetual preferred equity, Stretch (STRC), after easing its sales rules on March 9. Bitcoin Quant founder Rohan Hirani noted this was the first week Strategy could run the STRC ATM in extended hours with a second broker.
According to STRC Live, the stock saw a record week, with an estimated 10,767 BTC bought across four active days. Strategy sold 11.9 million STRC shares for $1.18 billion during the week, with net proceeds accounting for 75% of the Bitcoin purchase. The company also sold 2.8 million Common A shares (MSTR), generating $396 million.
With Strategy now holding 761,068 BTC, the company would need to acquire 238,932 BTC to reach 1 million, an average of about 5,700 BTC per week over the remaining 42 weeks of 2026.
