Crypto Giant MicroStrategy Goes Ballistic: Snags Massive $1.6 Billion Bitcoin Haul!

Strategy Inc. has once again demonstrated its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy, recently completing a significant purchase of over 22,000 BTC. This latest addition to its corporate treasury involved an aggregate expenditure of a staggering $1.57 billion. The company executed this massive accumulation phase between March 9 and March 15, 2026, acquiring precisely 22,337 Bitcoin. According to official filings, Strategy managed to secure these digital assets at an average purchase price of $70,194 per Bitcoin.
To finance this multi-billion-dollar acquisition, Strategy utilized its at-the-market (ATM) offering program. Through this program, the company successfully sold millions of shares of its own stock, raising approximately $1.576 billion in net proceeds during the same week-long period. This strategic financing approach allowed the company to fund its substantial cryptocurrency investment without incurring significant debt.
As a result of this latest purchase, Strategy Inc.'s total Bitcoin holdings officially reached an impressive 761,068 BTC as of March 15, 2026. The aggregate cost basis for this colossal corporate treasury now stands at $57.61 billion. Consequently, Strategy's lifetime average purchase price for its Bitcoin portfolio has adjusted to $75,696 per Bitcoin, reflecting its consistent investment in the leading cryptocurrency.
The news of this substantial Bitcoin acquisition has positively impacted Strategy's stock, MSTR. The stock surged by more than 4% in pre-market trading, a rally primarily fueled by Bitcoin's recent price recovery. MSTR is currently pushing against local resistance in the $145.00 - $147.00 zone, as it attempts to form a higher low compared to its early March peak, indicating potential for continued upward momentum.
