Strategy Halts Bitcoin Buying This Week
Strategy has paused its weekly Bitcoin purchases this week.
Michael Saylor, Founder and Chairman, announced on X: “No buys this week. Back to work next week.”
This is the company’s second pause in 2026. The previous break was during the week of March 23–29.
Strategy’s Massive Bitcoin Holdings
Strategy now holds 818,334 BTC, equal to nearly 3.9% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Last week, it added 3,273 BTC at an average price of $77,906 per coin. Bitcoin is currently trading at $80,101, up 20% in the last 30 days.
Q1 2026 Earnings Release on Tuesday
Strategy will release its first-quarter 2026 earnings on Tuesday. Analysts expect a loss of $18.98 per share, compared to a $16.38 loss in Q1 2025.
STRC Funding and Market Concerns
Strategy funds Bitcoin buys mainly through sales of MSTR stock and perpetual preferred shares like STRC.
STRC currently offers an 11.5% annualized dividend. Some analysts warn of structural risks and call it a potential “Ponzi scheme,” while others describe it as a smart, durable model to gain long-term Bitcoin exposure.
