Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, reported a “BTC Gain” of 16,622 Bitcoin (roughly $1.2 billion) for the week ending March 15. The company purchased 22,337 BTC in that period, outpacing the entire mining network’s weekly production. Using its preferred shares to fund buys, Strategy is now exploring ways to generate yield from its massive Bitcoin holdings.
The corporate Bitcoin acquisition strategy led by Michael Saylor continues at a remarkable pace. For the week ending March 15, Strategy reported a “BTC Gain” of 16,622 BTC, valued at approximately $1.2 billion.
Saylor has described this metric as the closest equivalent to net income under a “Bitcoin standard.” The firm’s actual purchases totaled 22,337 BTC in that single week.
This accumulation speed exceeded the entire Bitcoin network’s production, which is roughly 3,150 BTC weekly. The company funded these purchases through its STRC perpetual preferred shares.
With around 760,000 BTC, Strategy is using its holdings as collateral for new financial activities. The firm is exploring Bitcoin lending, selling covered calls, and crypto repo markets to generate income.
Macro investor Satoxis remarked on this shift, “Strategy will become the world’s first public Bitcoin Bank.” The strategy contrasts with retail caution after Bitcoin’s near 40% drop from its all-time high.
Strategy has continued buying despite the downturn, purchasing at an average price around $70,194. Saylor has reiterated his philosophy, stating “There isn’t enough Bitcoin for everyone.”
While Bitcoin slipped slightly to around $72,749, Strategy’s stock moved opposite. The stock price of MSTR rose about 1.87% to $150.28.
By mid-March 2026, the company had completed 102 separate Bitcoin purchases. Its real endgame, building one of the most aggressive accumulation strategies, may still be unfolding.
