Strategy now stands as the largest publicly listed Bitcoin holder globally, widening the gap between itself and other digital asset treasury companies.
Buying Pace Accelerates in 2026
The latest transaction represents Strategy largest Bitcoin purchase since February 2025, when the company acquired 20,356 BTC for roughly $2 billion.
Earlier this year, Strategy disclosed a 13,627 BTC purchase valued at around $1.3 billion on January 12, which at the time marked its biggest acquisition since July of the prior year.
The renewed buying pace follows a quieter stretch through much of 2025, when digital asset treasuries faced volatility and skepticism after a strong summer rally that some market observers labeled excessive.

Market Reaction and Index Backdrop
Strategy stock moved higher alongside the Bitcoin rally. Shares of MSTR climbed past $185 on Wednesday, according to TradingView data, roughly matching Bitcoin move to a multi-month high above $97,000.
The price action also followed a decision by Morgan Stanley Capital International earlier in January not to remove digital treasury companies from its market index. The move removed a potential overhang for firms whose balance sheets center on crypto assets.
Share of Bitcoin Supply Grows
With 709,715 BTC on its balance sheet, Strategy controls roughly 3.37 percent of the maximum 21 million Bitcoin supply. The holding represents about 3.55 percent of the approximately 19.98 million Bitcoin currently in circulation, based on data from Blockchain.com.
