The company purchased 46,233 BTC in March alone, compared with roughly 16,200 BTC mined during the same period. This imbalance effectively absorbs newly issued Bitcoin while further concentrating supply within a single corporate entity.<\/p>\n<p>The gap between Strategy and other corporate holders remains substantial. Twenty One Capital, the second-largest holder, controls 43,514 BTC, representing a small fraction of Strategy\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Bitcoin,Michael Saylor,Microstrategy#Michael #Saylor #Signals #Bitcoin #Buys #Prices #Pull #Local #Highs #73K1776071319<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor posted his trademark \u201cThink bigger\u201d chart and \u201cBack to Work\u201d signal on Sunday, patterns his followers associate with imminent Bitcoin purchases.
