🚨 MICHAEL SAYLOR ANNOUNCES MAMMOTH 18,000 BTC PURCHASE AS STRATEGY HITS 738,000 BTC
Michael Saylor has announced yet another massive Bitcoin acquisition, further solidifying Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) as the world's leading corporate Bitcoin treasury. According to recent regulatory filings, the company purchased approximately 18,000 BTC for over $1.2 billion in early March 2026. This acquisition brings Strategy’s total holdings to a staggering 738,731 BTC, representing more than 3.5% of the total Bitcoin supply. 🏛️
The latest purchase was executed at an average price of approximately $70,946 per Bitcoin, totaling $1.28 billion. To fund this aggressive expansion, Strategy utilized its "at-the-market" (ATM) stock offering program, raising $1.27 billion in net proceeds by selling shares directly to the market. This strategy has effectively positioned the company as a "Bitcoin proxy" for institutional investors who seek exposure to the digital asset through traditional equity markets. 🛡️
Saylor continues to champion Bitcoin as the primary reserve asset for corporate balance sheets, arguing that it serves as the "digital gold of the internet era." With a total cost basis now exceeding $56 billion, Strategy’s unwavering accumulation underscores its long-term conviction in Bitcoin's scarcity. This move comes at a time of heightened institutional competition, as the firm narrows the gap with BlackRock’s IBIT ETF in the race to be the world's largest institutional Bitcoin holder. 📊🔥
