Strategy Inc (MSTR) is now on track to achieve a historic milestone: 1 million BTC by the end of 2026—if the current pace holds, the company would control nearly 5% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
As of Monday, Strategy holds 761,068 BTC, valued at approximately $53.2 billion, solidifying its position as the world's largest corporate Bitcoin treasury. Recent data from bitcointreasuries.net reveal that the company has already acquired roughly 88,571 BTC in the first months of 2026, including major purchases such as 22,337 BTC announced on March 16 and 17,994 BTC earlier in March.
This early-year momentum is remarkable: Strategy has already bought about 39% of the total BTC it acquired throughout all of 2025—in just the first 74 days of 2026. In 2025, the company added approximately 226,097 BTC over the full year, a pace that was already aggressive. The current rate far outpaces last year's accumulation, signaling an even more accelerated strategy this year.
Prominent Bitcoin analyst Adam Livingston projects that Strategy could reach the 1 million Bitcoin mark even earlier—by the end of September this year—driven by continued issuance of both MSTR common shares and STRC preferred shares. In a conservative model assuming modest 5% month-over-month growth in digital credit sales, Livingston forecasts the company could hold approximately 1.59 million BTC by December 2026. He emphasized that “the Bitcoin stack can rise faster than the denominator gets diluted,” noting how capital raised through equity and digital credit is rapidly converted into more BTC, creating a recursive growth engine that offsets share issuance concerns.
From its current holdings, Strategy would need to add approximately 239,000 BTC over the remaining months to hit the milestone. This equates to a sustained average of around 6,000+ BTC per week, a rate the company has often surpassed in recent bursts through opportunistic buys funded by common stock sales and the popular STRC preferred share program.
Maintaining this velocity would require deploying tens of billions in capital, likely via continued equity and preferred issuances amid fluctuating Bitcoin prices. The STRC mechanism, in particular, has proven highly effective, channeling investor demand into rapid treasury expansion even during periods of market volatility.
If the current trajectory holds, 2026 could see Strategy Inc not only maintain its dominance among corporate holders but achieve an unprecedented landmark in corporate Bitcoin ownership. This relentless strategy continues to captivate markets, framing corporate Bitcoin adoption as one of the decade's most transformative financial trends.
