Strategy’s stock is trading below the value of its own Bitcoin<\/a> holdings \u2014 an unusual position for a company that has built its entire identity around the cryptocurrency’s rise.<\/p>\n

A Streak That Keeps Going<\/h2>\n

The Virginia-based firm added 17,994 BTC to its reserves last week, paying roughly $1.28 billion at an average of $70,946 per coin. It was the company’s 102nd Bitcoin purchase and the 11th straight week it has bought more.<\/p>\n

Strategy’s total Bitcoin stash<\/a> is now valued at approximately $52.65 billion, yet its market capitalization sits closer to $47 billion. The gap tells a story investors are watching closely.<\/p>\n

Chairman Michael Saylor took to X on Thursday with a message that many read as a direct response to growing impatience. Don\u2019t expect Bitcoin to surge immediately after a big corporate purchase, he said \u2014 the gains usually show up later.<\/p>\n

The post spread fast, pulling in a wave of reactions \u2014 some supportive, some skeptical, and a few that referenced older memes tied to Saylor’s years of Bitcoin advocacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

You know there\u2019s a delay between the time we buy the Bitcoin and the time Bitcoin goes to the moon.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Michael Saylor (@saylor) March 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bitcoin was trading around $70,800<\/a> at the time of writing. That price leaves Strategy sitting on approximately $3.35 billion in unrealized losses across its holdings.<\/p>\n

Saylor Makes The Case For Holding<\/h2>\n

The losses have not shaken Saylor’s public stance. In a recent Fox Business interview, he laid out a scenario where Strategy continues paying dividends as long as Bitcoin appreciates at least 1.25% annually.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He also said that if prices stay flat for years, the company would have roughly eight decades to rework its capital structure \u2014 a timeframe most public companies would never cite as a comfort measure.<\/p>\n

His longer-term projection is more aggressive. Saylor has said he expects Bitcoin to grow around 30% per year over the next two decades. That outlook underpins the company’s decision to keep buying regardless of short-term price swings.<\/p>\n

Analyst Notes Strength In Market Activity<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some cryptocurrency analysts flagged a recent uptick in the Coinbase Premium \u2014 a metric used to gauge spot demand among US-based buyers. Based on that view, if Bitcoin holds above $70,000, the next resistance level to watch is around $74,000-$75,000.<\/p>\n

That figure is close to the average price Strategy paid across all of its Bitcoin purchases. For the company and many traders tracking its moves, it carries weight beyond a simple technical level. Whether the price reaches it soon \u2014 or much later, as Saylor suggests \u2014 remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
