Strategy Buys Just 1,031 Bitcoin After Two Weeks Of $1B+ Purchases: What Changed?

The Slowdown Explained

Strategy funded last week’s purchase entirely through common stock sales rather than STRC preferred shares, marking a return to smaller acquisition sizes typical of periods when the company relies solely on equity offerings.

Total holdings now stand at 762,099 Bitcoin acquired for approximately $57.69 billion, or an average price of $75,694 per coin. 

With Bitcoin trading just under $70,000, Strategy’s holdings sit below cost basis.

The previous two weeks saw purchases exceeding $1 billion each as Strategy took advantage of STRC preferred share issuance. 

The company acquired 22,337 Bitcoin for $1.57 billion the week ending March 15, followed by another…

Dogecoin To Get Its Own ‘Windows’? Here’s How DogeOS Could Work

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) could gain new utility and yield opportunities through DogeOS, an app-layer project designed to expand its use beyond payments while preserving its meme-driven identity.

Building Utility With DogeOS

In an interview with Crypto India Magazine, DogeOS CEO and co-founder Jordan Jefferson said Dogecoin remains one of the most underutilized assets in crypto despite its large market cap of around $15 billion and cultural reach.

The goal, Jefferson said, is to bring Ethereum-like functionality to Dogecoin while maintaining its core identity. “It will always be a meme coin,” he said.

Meme Status With Growing Opportunity

Jefferson said Dogecoin’s culture and humour are key…

The Usage Thesis

Bayston drew a parallel to Warren Buffett buying Dairy Queen stock because he consumed Dairy Queen products. 

“I don’t think yet a lot of institutions understand how they can use these distributed ledger technologies inside of their information-based businesses,” he said on the Paul Barron podcast.

The breakthrough moment arrives when companies start using the XRP network to solve actual business problems—creating efficiencies or new opportunities. 

When businesses need to use XRP to append records onto the network and recognize the total addressable market potential, that’s when institutional investment follows.

Franklin Templeton reached this conclusion by…
