Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc has completed its 101st bitcoin purchase, adding 3,015 Bitcoin (BTC) to its balance sheet as it continues to buy through market volatility.
In a Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company said it acquired the BTC between February 23 and March 1, 2026, spending approximately $204.1 million at an average price of $67,700 per BTC, inclusive of fees and expenses.
Total holdings rise to 720,737 BTC
Following the latest acquisition, Strategy now holds 720,737 bitcoin as of March 1, 2026.
The company has spent around $54.77 billion to accumulate its bitcoin position, with an average purchase price of $75,985 per BTC. The most recent buy came in well below that level, slightly lowering the firm’s overall cost basis.
Strategy remains the world’s largest known corporate holder of Bitcoin.
ATM sales fund the latest Bitcoin buy
Strategy confirmed that the purchase was funded using proceeds from its at-the-market offering program.
During the same period, the company sold:
- 1,730,563 shares of MSTR common stock, raising about $229.9 million in net proceeds
- 71,590 shares of STRC preferred stock, raising approximately $7.1 million
- The company said the proceeds were used directly to acquire bitcoin.
Dividend hike and cash payouts disclosed
Alongside the bitcoin update, Strategy announced a higher dividend rate on its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC), increasing the annual rate from 11.25% to 11.50%, effective for monthly periods starting March 1, 2026.
The board also declared cash dividends across multiple preferred share classes, all payable on March 31, 2026. Strategy expects the payouts to be treated as non-taxable return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes, depending on individual shareholder tax basis.
Buying continues after the century milestone
The 3,015 BTC acquisition marks Strategy’s 101st bitcoin purchase, coming shortly after the company publicly highlighted its 100th buy as a major milestone.
The filing reinforces that Strategy continues to execute its long-term bitcoin accumulation strategy, using equity market access to steadily grow its position rather than time short-term price moves.
With more than 720,000 BTC now on its balance sheet, Strategy’s bitcoin exposure remains one of the most significant corporate bets on the asset to date.
