It is reported that Strategy spent about $1.28 billion to acquire the new batch, with an average purchase price of around $70,946 per Bitcoin ($BTC).

Traditionally, the publication of official data was preceded by a hint from Michael Saylor, who posted a chart of cryptocurrency accumulation with the caption about the beginning of the “second century.” Recently, the company completed its 100th purchase.

As of March 8, 2026, the corporation holds 738,731 $BTC. The company spent a total of approximately $56.04 billion to build this portfolio.

According to internal reports, the average acquisition cost of all held coins is $75,862 per BTC.

Meanwhile, data from the analytics service SaylorTracker estimates this figure slightly higher — around $75,985 per BTC.

Market pressure

According to analysts, the current market environment creates certain pressure for investors, as the price of Bitcoin is currently below Strategy’s average purchase price.

In technical analysis, the $76,000 level has formed as a strong psychological barrier, as traders associate this level with the “break-even point” of the largest institutional investor.
