Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) disclosed in an SEC Form 8-K that it purchased 1,031 bitcoin between March 16 and 22 at an average price of about $74,326 per BTC, spending $76.6 million. The company said the buys were funded entirely through at-the-market sales of common stock. It did not use preferred-share financing for this tranche. Strategy's total bitcoin holdings now stand at 762,099 BTC, acquired for an aggregate $57.69 billion at an average cost of roughly $75,694 per BTC. With bitcoin trading in the high $60,000s, the position implies around $5 billion in unrealized losses. The latest purchase marks a steep deceleration from recent weeks, when the firm added 22,337 BTC ($1.57 billion) and 17,994 BTC ($1.28 billion). At 1,031 BTC this week, that's about a 95% drop in weekly buying volume. Even with the slowdown, Strategy remains the world's largest corporate holder of bitcoin. For March, the company has added about 41,362 BTC for approximately $2.93 billion.

Strategy said it plans to raise $44 billion through an equity issuance, aiming to bolster its Bitcoin-buying program and fund additional purchases going forward.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs logged $95.18 million in net inflows for the week ending March 20, 2026, marking a fourth consecutive week of positive flows, according to SoSoValue data. The week's gain came almost entirely from the first two sessions. ETFs attracted $201.62 million on March 16 and another $199.37 million on March 17, for just over $401 million combined. That early strength was later pared back by three straight days of redemptions: $163.52 million on March 18, $90.19 million on March 19, and $52.11 million on March 20, a three-day total of $305.82 million. Cumulative net inflows across all Bitcoin ETFs rose to $56.23 billion. Total net assets ended the week at $90.30 billion, down from $96.74 billion at the March 17 close. Weekly trading value came in at $15.65 billion versus $17.78 billion the previous week. The latest weekly inflow follows prior weekly totals of $568.45 million, $767.33 million, and $401 million. Ethereum spot ETFs moved in the opposite direction, posting $59.94 million of net outflows for the week and snapping a three-week inflow streak. Cumulative net inflows for Ethereum ETFs slipped to $11.73 billion, while total net assets fell to $12.33 billion from $13.75 billion a week earlier. Outflows were heaviest midweek, led by $55.70 million on March 18 and $136.41 million on March 19, with another $41.97 million leaving on March 20. Beyond BTC and ETH, Solana ETFs recorded $21.10 million of net inflows for the week, keeping a broadly positive trend intact after inflows in five of the past six weeks. XRP ETFs edged back into positive territory with $0.64 million of inflows, after two consecutive weeks of outflows totaling more than $80 million, including $76.1 million and $4.09 million in the prior two weeks. Over the four-week stretch from late February through March 20, net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs totaled about $1.53 billion. That compares with the preceding five-week period, when the category saw roughly $3.0 billion of net outflows.
