Strategy Inc. has disclosed the purchase of an additional 3,015 bitcoin, lifting its total holdings to 720,737 BTC as of March 2, 2026. The latest acquisition, funded through recent share sales under its at‑the‑market (ATM) programs, brings the company’s cumulative bitcoin investment to approximately 54.77 billion at an average purchase price of 75,985 per coin.
Details of the new purchase
In a Form 8‑K filing and related disclosures, Strategy reported that it bought 3,015 bitcoin between February 23 and March 1, 2026. The company stated that the coins were acquired for about 204.1 million in cash, at an average price of roughly 67,700 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses.
Company chairman Michael Saylor highlighted the transaction in a post on X, saying that “Strategy has acquired 3,015 BTC for ~204.1 million at ~67,700 per bitcoin.” In the same message, he reiterated the updated size of the firm’s bitcoin position as of March 1, 2026.
Updated bitcoin holdings
Following the latest purchase, Strategy now holds 720,737 bitcoin in its corporate reserves. According to the company’s disclosure, those holdings were accumulated for a total of approximately 54.77 billion, implying an average acquisition cost of about 75,985 per BTC.
These figures were repeated across the company’s regulatory filing and third‑party summaries that cited the same 8‑K, confirming both the total number of coins and the aggregate cost basis. Saylor’s social‑media post mirrored the filing, using the same totals for bitcoin held and total dollars spent as of the March 1 reporting date.
Share sales used to fund purchases
Strategy’s filing shows that the company financed the new bitcoin acquisition through its ongoing ATM equity programs. Between February 23 and March 1, 2026, the firm sold 71,590 shares of its STRC preferred stock and 1,730,563 shares of its MSTR common stock.
These sales generated net proceeds of about 237.1 million, after commissions and expenses. Strategy reported that it used approximately 204.1 million of those proceeds to acquire 3,015 bitcoin, with the remaining funds earmarked for general corporate purposes.
Dividend and preferred share updates
Alongside the bitcoin purchase disclosure, Strategy announced changes to the dividend terms on its STRC preferred shares. The company said it was raising the annual dividend rate on the STRC series to 11.50 percent.
Strategy also declared cash dividends payable on March 31, 2026, for several preferred series, including STRF, STRC, STRE, STRK, and STRD. According to the filing, the company currently expects these dividends to be treated as a non‑taxable return of capital for many U.S. holders, subject to each investor’s tax situation.
