Strategy Dominates Corporate Bitcoin Treasury Buying

2 reports · First detected 2026-03-26 · Last active 2026-04-07

Michael Saylor-led Strategy has fueled the digital asset treasury, or DAT, model by issuing common and preferred stock to buy Bitcoin. Several companies followed suit when Bitcoin traded above $110,000 in July and August 2025. After the cryptocurrency fell below $70,000, however, high-cost holdings came under pressure and buying became concentrated in a single company, increasing market-liquidity and balance-sheet risks.

CryptoQuant said on March 26, 2026, that Strategy had bought about 45,000 BTC over the previous 30 days, while other companies purchased only about 1,000 BTC. Strategy held 76% of the Bitcoin in corporate treasuries. Data as of April 6 showed that it had added 46,233 BTC since March 2, nearly three times the 16,200 BTC in new supply over the same period. The company also raised $102.6 million through STRC to help fund more than $330 million in Bitcoin purchases.
