The firm increased its holdings by a rather impressive 146%. It currently holds a total of 198,283 shares. This position is worth approximately $28 million at press time.

Institutional FOMO
Rockefeller is far from the only major player heavily accumulating MSTR. Over the past two weeks, a flurry of institutional filings and market data have highlighted an intense wave of interest in the Bitcoin treasury firm:
In late February, Europe’s largest asset manager with $2.8 trillion under management disclosed a massive 373% increase in its MSTR position
Amundi bought an additional 3.77 million shares, bringing its total holdings to a staggering 4.79 million shares ($641 million)
A day prior, South Korea’s National Pension Service (NPS), the world’s third-largest pension fund, boosted its position by 20% to 614,409 shares ($83.2 million).
On March 2, Strategy announced a 25 basis point dividend increase on its perpetual preferred stock, Stretch ($STRC), bringing the yield to 11.5%.
The momentum has even caught the attention of high-net-worth executives. Former Sotheby’s CEO Tad Smith publicly noted on February 27 that he is “torn between selling $STRC to buy more $STRK and $MSTR right now.”

Miners are no longer mining Bitcoin; they are selling electricity to AI.
Written by: Cathy, Plain Language Blockchain
Mining one Bitcoin costs $87,000. When sold, the market only pays you $67,000.
For each Bitcoin mined, you net a loss of $20,000. It’s not just losing on fees or electricity fluctuations; it’s a solid loss—losing $20,000 for every Bitcoin produced. This is the reality in March 2026. Data from Glassnode and MacroMicro both point to the same conclusion: Bitcoin mining, at current prices, is a losing business.
But miners aren’t just sitting around waiting to die. They’ve made a choice that the entire market didn’t expect—they’re stopping mining and selling electricity to AI.
Specifically, it’s not “stopping mining,” but rather emptying the Bitcoin treasury and pouring all funds into AI data centers, relegating mining to a side gig.
