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.

Bitcoin rebounds above $70,000 from $60,000 crash amid ongoing Fed nomination volatility

Imeripotiwa na AI Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Bitcoin surged past $70,000 on February 6, 2026, rebounding 17% from Thursday's 15-month low around $60,000 amid the prior sell-off triggered by President Trump's Federal Reserve chair nominee Kevin Warsh. The recovery liquidated $2.6 billion in leveraged positions and lifted crypto stocks like MicroStrategy (up 14-21%) and MARA Holdings (up 12%), signaling oversold conditions despite lingering market fears.

Derivatives markets indicate that bitcoin could rise 14% to $80,000 by the end of June, according to analysis from Derive.xyz. This optimistic outlook persists amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. MicroStrategy has added to its holdings by purchasing $1.3 billion worth of bitcoin.

The acquisition was made at an average price below $70,000 per Bitcoin, as announced on February 11, 2026.

Following a mid-week rally above $68,000, Bitcoin retreated toward $70,000 by early March 6, 2026, erasing $110 billion in market capitalization amid worsening Iran conflict, rising oil prices, and a strengthening U.S. dollar. The pullback occurs despite ongoing institutional adoption, with $2.6 billion in Bitcoin options set to expire, heightening volatility risks.
