As of March 19, 2026, Strategy holds 761068 BTC worth approximately $56.2 billion, narrowing the gap with BlackRock's holdings of 782170 BTC to only 21102 BTC. In the past two weeks, Strategy has purchased a total of 40331 BTC at a cost of approximately $2.85 billion, marking the largest consecutive buying since January this year and significantly narrowing the gap with BlackRock.
