Strategy Inc has purchased 17,994 bitcoin at an average price of $70,946 per coin, spending about $1.28 billion. The company now holds 738,731 BTC, acquired for a total of $56.04 billion at an average price of $75,862 per bitcoin.

The bitcoin purchases were funded by proceeds from the company’s at-the-market (ATM) stock program. Strategy continues to use this program to acquire bitcoin in stages, maintaining transparency through SEC filings and public disclosures.

Stock Sales Under ATM Program

Between March 2 and March 8, 2026, Strategy sold 3,776,205 shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) and 6,327,541 shares of Class A common stock (MSTR) through the ATM program. These sales generated net proceeds of $1.28 billion, which were used to fund the recent bitcoin purchases.

The company maintains an online dashboard that provides updates on BTC holdings, stock sales, and key financial information, ensuring that investors have clear access to the latest data.

Changes to Sales Agreement

Strategy amended its Omnibus Sales Agreement to allow a second agent to handle sales outside normal trading hours. This change allows additional agents to execute sales before 9:30 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. New York time, or handle block sale transactions.

The amendment offers flexibility for executing ATM sales while staying within regulatory requirements. Multiple financial institutions serve as agents to manage the company’s stock offerings.

Potential for Additional Bitcoin Purchases

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, stated on X that the company “may buy more Bitcoin” after the recent purchase. He added, “The Second Century Begins,” suggesting that Strategy could continue adding to its bitcoin holdings.

The company continues to provide regular updates through its SEC filings and online dashboard, giving investors a clear view of its bitcoin and stock strategies.
