  • The firm\u2019s total holdings reached 780,897 BTC acquired for US$59.02 billion, narrowing the gap with BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin ETF to roughly 8,000 coins.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Strategy disclosed US$14.46 billion in unrealised digital-asset losses for Q1 2026, with its average cost basis of US$75,577 sitting well above the current spot price.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Strategy disclosed it purchased 13,927 Bitcoin (BTC) for approximately US$1B (AU$1.45B) at an average price of US$71,902 (AU$104K) per coin, marking its fifth-largest acquisition of 2026.<\/p>\n

    The purchase increases the company\u2019s total holdings to 780,897 BTC, acquired for a cumulative US$59.02B (AU$85.58B) at an average cost basis of US$75,577 (AU$109,587).\u00a0<\/p>\n

    With Bitcoin trading near US$71K (AU$102.95K), the firm reported unrealised losses of US$14.46B (AU$20.97B) for Q1 2026 in a recent SEC filing.<\/p>\n

    The acquisition was fully funded through sales of Strategy\u2019s STRC preferred stock, a variable-rate perpetual instrument that requires roughly a 2.05% annual Bitcoin return to meet dividend obligations.<\/p>\n

    Outpacing BlackRock<\/h2>\n

    Strategy has added 89,599 BTC year-to-date through late March, compared with about 8,484 BTC accumulated by BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust over the same period. The difference between the two has narrowed to around 8,000 BTC.<\/p>\n

    In March alone, Strategy purchased 46,233 BTC, while miners produced roughly 16,200 BTC globally during the same period.<\/p>\n

    Price impact has been limited despite the scale of accumulation, and keep in mind Strategy accounts for about 7% of gross Bitcoin inflows, while broader capital outflows have offset buying pressure. Bitcoin\u2019s realised capitalisation has declined by US$29B (AU$42.05B) since February, and open interest in BlackRock\u2019s ETF products has fallen by more than US$4B (AU$5.8B).<\/p>\n

    The company has access to about US$49B (AU$71.05B) in remaining at-the-market equity capacity to fund further purchases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Strategy now holds roughly 3.7% of Bitcoin\u2019s circulating supply, estimated at around 20 million coins. Its shares fell about 2.5% in pre-market trading following the disclosure.<\/p>\n
