MSTR’s Bitcoin Obsession: Will They Own 1M by 2026? (Spoiler: No!)

What to know:

  • Though the markets howled like a wolf in winter and the stock’s price plummeted like a stone into a well, Strategy (MSTR) persisted, adding to its holdings with the vigor of a man chasing a ghost.
  • Under the sagacious leadership of Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, the company now boasts 738,731 BTC-a number so large it could fill a small cathedral.
  • To reach the coveted million, it would require acquiring another 261,269 BTC-equivalent to the wealth of a minor kingdom-by year’s end.

Is it not within the realm of possibility that Strategy (MSTR) could become the proud owner of a million bitcoins-nearly 5% of the 21 million that will ever exist-by the end of 2026? A dream as lofty as a pigeon’s flight.

The company currently holds 738,731 BTC, meaning it would need to acquire another 261,269 to reach the milestone. With 297 days remaining, that translates to a weekly acquisition of 6,158 BTC-a pace that would make even a well-oiled machine envious.

At an average price of $85,000 per Bitcoin, Strategy would need to deploy a staggering $523 million weekly, a sum that would make a tsar blush. Yet, with its recent purchases, this feat may yet be achieved-though one wonders if the company’s coffers are made of gold or mere paper.

Led by Saylor, the company’s recent purchases suggest this pace may be achievable. Last week, it added 17,994 BTC-enough to buy a village. This week’s acquisitions (likely to be disclosed on Monday) are rumored to be equally grand. The STRC preferred stock issuance alone hinted at 11,000 BTC, while common stock may have funded even more-though one might question if the company is trading in coins or confetti.

Since its Bitcoin treasury strategy began in August 2020, Strategy has averaged 10,700 BTC monthly-a pace that would make a snail weep with envy. By 2026, it has already acquired 64,948 BTC, placing it well ahead of its historical average-a feat that would make a racehorse jealous.

So far in 2026, the company has already acquired about 64,948 BTC, putting it well ahead of its historical annual average pace of accumulation.
