Strategy's $200 million bitcoin buy lifts holdings to 720,750 BTC

Strategy has acquired $200 million (~2,985 BTC) in bitcoin at around $67,000 per coin, its third-largest purchase of 2026. This boosts total holdings from January's 709,715 BTC milestone to approximately 720,750 BTC, underscoring persistent accumulation amid lower prices.

Strategy, the bitcoin-focused treasury company formerly known as MicroStrategy, announced on March 8, 2026, its latest acquisition: $200 million in bitcoin purchased at prevailing prices near $67,000. This adds roughly 2,985 BTC to its reserves, elevating total holdings to about 720,750 bitcoin.

The buy ranks as the third-largest by Strategy this year, following earlier 2026 purchases that built on its January surpassing of 700,000 BTC (reaching 709,715). Despite a price dip from January averages around $95,000, the company maintains its aggressive strategy of systematic accumulation.

This aligns with growing corporate adoption of bitcoin as a treasury reserve. The announcement provided no specifics on exact timing beyond Monday or funding sources, but it reflects Strategy's commitment to expanding its digital asset portfolio amid market fluctuations.
