  • Michael Saylor shared a
    cryptic “Bitcoin Tracker” update on X, a historical precursor to
    Strategy’s official purchase disclosures.
  • The
    firm recently acquired 22,337 BTC for approximately
    $1.57 billion, bringing its total treasury to
    761,068 BTC.
  • Market analysts suggest the company
    is on a trajectory to hold 1 million BTC by the end of
    2026, requiring an average weekly buy of 6,158
    BTC
    .

Michael Saylor,
executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy),
has once again signaled an imminent
Bitcoin acquisition
through his signature social media messaging. Over the weekend, Saylor
posted an update to the firm’s “Bitcoin Tracker” on X, a move that has
consistently preceded regulatory filings confirming large-scale purchases
on the following Monday. This latest hint comes as the company continues
one of its most aggressive accumulation phases since adopting its digital
asset treasury policy in 2020.

Just last week, Strategy disclosed
the purchase of 22,337
BTC for approximately $1.57 billion
, marking its fifth-largest
acquisition by coin volume. These purchases were primarily funded through
the issuance of STRC (Stretch) perpetual preferred stock
and MSTR common stock. As of March 22, 2026, the company
holds a staggering 761,068 BTC, representing more than
3.5% of the total circulating supply.

The firm’s current
acquisition pace suggests a strategic push toward a 1 million
BTC
milestone. To reach this goal by the end of the year, Strategy
would need to acquire roughly 238,932 additional bitcoins, or an average of
6,158 BTC per week. Despite recent market volatility and
Bitcoin trading near the firm’s average cost basis of
$75,696, Saylor remains steadfast in his “forever”
buying approach.

“Bitcoin is the apex property of the
human race. Our strategy is to pivot to a digital gold standard, and we are
designed to outperform the asset itself over the long term,” Saylor noted
in a recent discussion regarding the firm’s leveraged
model.

The market’s eyes are now on the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings expected
early this week, which will likely confirm whether the latest social media
“ping” translates to another billion-dollar entry on the balance sheet.
Investors are also monitoring the performance of STRC preferred
shares
, which saw record trading volume of $260
million
earlier this month, providing the necessary liquidity for
these massive capital deployments.
