Accurate strategy (MSTR) did not add to its Bitcoin position last week, according to on-chain data and the absence of CEO Michael Saylor’s usual buy signal on Sunday on X — ending a 13-week buying streak that began in late December 2025.
The pause is the first break in what has become a weekly programmatic supply offering, during which the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company took in roughly 90,831 bitcoins.

Thirteen weeks, 90,831 Bitcoin: what the MicroStrategy Bitcoin line represents
The buying spree that ended last week was not an accidental accumulation, but rather a structured acquisition program funded by capital markets carried out with near-automated regularity.
Beginning in late December 2025, MicroStrategy deployed capital over 13 consecutive weeks, financing Bitcoin purchases through a combination of common stock sales, convertible note proceeds, and the proceeds of a series of perpetual preferred stock: the STRK, STRF, and Stretch (STRC) offerings that launched in early 2026.

Individual weekly purchases rose significantly. The week of March 2-8 saw the strategy acquire 17,994 BTC at an average price of approximately US$76,000, funded by US$900 million in sales of Class A common stock and US$377 million in discounted STRC shares. The following week – March 9-15 – produced the year’s largest single-week addition, recording $1.57 billion in Bitcoin purchases. By March 23, the pace was already starting to click: the strategy added just 1,031 BTC for an average of $74,326, a fraction of the volume of the previous two weeks.
The company’s treasury now holds 762,099 BTC at an average holding price of $75,694 per token, representing more than 2.8% of the total BTC supply. This focus made Strategy’s weekly buy announcement a structural event for market participants tracking the dynamics of liquid supply – not just a corporate disclosure.
Without weekly supply, one of the most consistent sources of programmatic buy-side pressure in the spot market subsides.

Why the STRC funding drive stopped
The structural explanation for the pause centers on the offering of STRC’s preferred stock. STRC is designed to raise capital to purchase BTC by attracting yield-focused retail investors – a mechanism that only works while stocks are trading at or above par value. By the week ending March 23, STRC had fallen below $100, effectively closing the issuance window and removing the funding vehicle that supported many of the larger weekly additions.
With STRC sidelined, Strategy’s remaining capacity appeared limited to $76.5 million in ATM sales of MSTR common stock last week — insufficient to fund the range buying that characterized the chain’s peak weeks.

The company simultaneously announced a new $4.2 billion perpetual preferred offering from STRD that carries an annual yield reset of 11.5% per month, making it what Saylor described as the “fourth cog” of the BTC funding stack. The strategy also disclosed $2.25 billion of US dollar reserves covering an estimated 60-100 days of preferred dividend obligations.
Saylor addressed the hiatus directly, posting, “Some weeks you just need to HODL” — framing the hiatus as an intentional suspension rather than a strategic retreat. CEO Phuong Le emphasized that 2026 remains a pivotal year for both countries Strategy for increasing the company’s capital and Bitcoin broadly, citing a $65 billion BTC balance despite MSTR shares falling nearly 60% over the previous year.
Closing the STRC funding window does not cancel the accumulation plan. It stops one gear of it.
