Bitcoin Holdings Strategy Gap Narrows to 21,102 Coins for BlackRock's BGI
BlockBeats News, March 19th, according to Bitcoin Treasuries, Strategy has recently significantly increased its Bitcoin holdings, with its Bitcoin holdings expected to surpass BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). As of March 19, 2026, Strategy holds 761,068 BTC, worth approximately $56.2 billion, narrowing the gap with BlackRock's 782,170 BTC holdings to just 21,102 BTC.
Over the past two weeks, Strategy has acquired a total of 40,331 BTC, spending about $2.85 billion, marking the largest continuous purchase since January this year, significantly reducing the gap with BlackRock. At the current rate, Strategy is expected to surpass BlackRock in the next one to two weeks.
In terms of funding sources, this round of purchases has mainly relied on strong demand for STRC preferred shares. The STRC facilitated the larger purchase by raising $11.8 billion (covering approximately 75% of the cost, supporting the purchase of about 16,753 BTC) and contributed around 30% to the previous purchase (about $377 million, supporting the purchase of about 5,313 BTC). Chaitanya Jain, Bitcoin Strategy Manager at Strategy, referred to this pattern as "the most aggressive financial engineering feat to date, expanding the boundaries of Bitcoin's capital formation."

Pimco warns that the US 10-year Treasury yield may reach 6% for the first time since 2000
Pacific Investment Management Company (Pimco) has issued a warning that the world’s most important bond market remains volatile due to high oil prices, inflation concerns, and the US’s massive public debt. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury is at risk of reaching 6% for the first time since 2000. Pimco's Chief Investment Officer, Dan Ivascyn, stated that after several weeks of heavy sell-offs in the $32 trillion US Treasury market, investors such as hedge funds may be forced to close losing bond positions, making a significant further rise in the 10-year Treasury yield from its current level of 5.29% a “possible scenario.” In recent weeks, other investors have issued similar warnings: a “vicious cycle” is forming in the US Treasury market. Successive waves of sell-offs are pushing yields to certain levels, which in turn is prompting other market participants like Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) to also sell off bonds.
