The Strategy Bitcoin purchase has come up again this week after executive chairman Michael Saylor tweeted a cryptic message hinting another acquisition. A post on X included the company’s popular Bitcoin accumulation chart, along with the phrase “The Second Century Begins.” This has fueled speculation that the firm is about to reveal yet another Bitcoin buy.
Based on latest reports, Strategy has 720,737 BTC in its Treasury and is now the largest publicly traded holder of it.
At the same time, the wider crypto market is under renewed pressure. Bitcoin has had a hard time of holding above the $70,000 psychological level and is trading around $67,200.
In spite of the turbulence, Strategy has not halted its buying spree. The firm has just executed the 101st Strategy Bitcoin acquisition adding thousands of coins to its treasury. Geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran have also weighed on investor sentiment, making Saylor and his company’s next move closely watched.
Strategy Makes Its 101st Bitcoin Buy
The most recent purchase Strategy Bitcoin has made was affirmed via a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As per the disclosure, between February 23 and March 1, 2026, the company purchased a total for $204.1 million worth of BTC or about 3,015 BTC. The coins were bought at an average price of roughly $67,700 per Bitcoin.
The purchase was the firm’s 101st acquisition of Bitcoin since it started building up its position in the asset in August 2020. Post-transaction, Strategy’s holding climbed to 720,737 BTC worth creating an approximate $47-48 billion based on price action.
The last Strategy Bitcoin purchase was revealed in a public post by Michael Saylor, who wrote:
“Strategy has purchased 3,015 BTC for $204.1M at an average price of $67,700/bitcoin. “For 3/1/2026, we hodl 720,737 BTC purchased for $54.77 billion at an average of $75,985 per Bitcoin.”
The company currently has a total investment in Bitcoin of approximately $54.8 billion at an average purchase price of about $75,985 per coin.
Beyond Bitcoin’s immutable supply limit of 21 million coins, Strategy now owns over 3.4% of the eventual total on a fixed basis, an incredible concentration for a single publicly-traded company.
Bitcoin Price Drops as Global Tensions Weigh on Risk Assets
Where Strategy keeps collecting, the wider market has not been so accommodating in recent days.
Bitcoin has found it difficult to sustain upward movement above $70,000 a price point roughly considered by traders as a psychological line of support. Having touched that threshold on multiple occasions and failed to break through, the market now treats that line as a resistance zone.
In the most recent session, Bitcoin traded around $67,200, which means it’s trading below Strategy’s average purchase price. This means that the firm’s aggregate position is now under water on paper.
One thing weighing on market sentiment is rising geopolitical tension between the United States and Iran. Rising tensions between the two nations have unsettled global financial markets, sending investors back to caution and triggering sell-offs of risk-sensitive assets including cryptocurrencies.
Market Reaction and Investor Sentiment
Even with its Bitcoin holdings, Strategy’s stock performance tends to get whipsawed by market swings.
The price of Strategy shares closed about 4.5% lower on March 6, possibly as investors registered weakness in Bitcoin prices and worsening geopolitical uncertainty.
The company’s value is commonly evaluated with a metric called basic NAV, which compares the total Bitcoin treasury it holds to its market cap. Strategy’s NAV recently sat under 1, meaning the company’s stock was trading at a discount to the value of its Bitcoin holdings.
This phenomenon had become familiar during periods when Bitcoin traded below the company’s average acquisition cost.
Another line of concern analysts often cite is the company’s dependence on external capital to support its accumulation model. Strategy brings traditional capital markets to Bitcoin purchases by issuing equity and preferred shares.
Critics say it takes on even more financial risk if Bitcoin prices plummet. Supporters say the company is creating one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries ever.
Conclusion
Michael Saylor flashes a possible sign that the next Strategy Bitcoin purchase could be closer than most think
As of today, with 720,737 BTC on its balance sheet strategy, it retains the title as the largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin. The firm’s 101st purchase brought in another 3,015 coins for $204 million, underscoring its long-term accumulation strategy.
Bitcoin’s price, meanwhile, has struggled to stay above $70,000 and was down toward $67,500 amid geopolitical tensions and cautious investor sentiment.
There has continued to be volatility and Strategy’s approach hasn’t changed since 2020: raise capital, liquidate that into bitcoin, and grow the treasury within the company.
