Strategy (MSTR) is on an ambitious path to acquire 1 million bitcoins by the end of 2026. This target represents almost 5% of the total 21 million bitcoins that will ever exist. Currently, the company possesses 738,731 BTC, necessitating the acquisition of an additional 261,269 BTC to reach its goal.
Purchase Strategy and Timeline
With approximately 297 days remaining in 2026, Strategy would need to purchase around 6,158 BTC each week. If the average price of Bitcoin is estimated at $85,000, this translates to a weekly investment of about $523 million. In total, Strategy would need to commit around $22.2 billion to hit the 1 million BTC milestone.
Recent Activity
- Last week, Strategy bought 17,994 bitcoins.
- Future acquisitions this week are expected to be in the thousands.
- The issuance of STRC preferred stock from Monday to Thursday indicates potential purchases of about 11,000 BTC.
- This figure excludes additional common stock issuances that may lead to further bitcoin acquisitions.
Long-Term Accumulation Efforts
Since implementing its bitcoin treasury strategy in August 2020, Strategy has acquired an average of approximately 10,700 BTC monthly. This figure equates to around 128,000 BTC annually. Remarkably, in 2026 alone, the company has already secured about 64,948 BTC, significantly surpassing its historical accumulation rates.
Under the leadership of Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, the current purchasing pace indicates a strong commitment to their bitcoin investment strategy. As momentum builds, the prospect of reaching the historic 1 million bitcoin milestone seems increasingly achievable.
