Separately, Strategy Inc disclosed a pause in its weekly bitcoin acquisitions. For the week ending March 29 the company reported no bitcoin purchases, ending a 13-week streak of weekly acquisitions. That pause comes after an intense buying period: the company acquired roughly 45,000 BTC over the past 30 days, the largest 30-day total for Strategy since April 2025. The firm’s recent regulatory filing also reported a purchase of $76.5 million worth of Bitcoin, funded via sales of its common stock.
Analyst coverage cited in filings remains favorable on balance. Bernstein SocGen Group reiterated an Outperform rating for Strategy and kept a price target of $450.00, citing confidence in Bitcoin’s prospective direction. Texas Capital Securities newly initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $200.00 price target, pointing to Strategy’s position in digital asset treasury management. In their notes, the firm observed that Strategy’s share price has moved in step with Bitcoin’s volatility while emphasizing management’s stated commitment to increase Bitcoin per share.
The combination of an insider sale and concurrent option exercise, the temporary halt to weekly bitcoin purchases, and recent large-scale bitcoin acquisitions highlights several moving parts in Strategy’s capital allocation and insider activity. The exercised Director Stock Options are set to expire on May 31, 2026, and the company’s recent market activity continues to be characterized by wide price swings and notable institutional interest.
