Bitcoin Holdings Strategy Gap Narrows to 21,102 Coins for BlackRock's BGI

2 hours ago

March 19 — Strategy has recently ramped up its Bitcoin holdings, putting it on track to overtake BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) soon, per Bitcoin Treasuries data. As of March 19, 2026, Strategy holds 761,068 BTC (valued at ~$56.2B), narrowing its gap with BlackRock’s 782,170 BTC to just 21,102 BTC. Over the past two weeks, Strategy has acquired 40,331 BTC for ~$2.85B—its largest consecutive Bitcoin buys since January 2026—shrinking the gap significantly. At the current pace, Strategy is poised to overtake BlackRock within 1-2 weeks. Funding for the purchases has come primarily from strong demand for STRC preferred shares. STRC raised $11.8B to support the latest buys (covering ~75% of costs, enabling ~16,753 BTC) and contributed ~30% ($377M) to prior buys (~5,313 BTC). Chaitanya Jain, Strategy’s Bitcoin Strategy Manager, called the move “the most aggressive financial engineering feat to date, pushing the boundaries of Bitcoin capital formation.”

Gold Plunges on Central Bank Tightening Outlook, Currency Devaluation Trade Thesis Erodes

Gold prices plunged 7% on Thursday, March 19, marking their seventh straight day of losses. Rising energy prices tied to the Middle East conflict have stoked inflation fears, while markets anticipate major central banks will keep interest rates elevated. TD Securities commodity strategist Daniel Ghali noted: “Gold has become a widely held asset among institutional investors, riding the momentum of currency debasement trades over the past year. But that trade’s foundation is now weakening. In the short term, we still see downside risk in the market. Gold has meaningful downside potential, yet it still holds support from the uptrend of its bull market phase.” (Source: FXStreet)

Opera intends to acquire 160 million CELO to become a significant stakeholder in the Celo network

CoinDesk reported on March 19 that Opera—Nasdaq-listed browser company—has filed a proposal with the Celo governance forum to convert a prior cash transaction into a distribution of 160 million CELO tokens. Once approved by token holders, Opera will become a major stakeholder in the Celo network. The 160 million CELO tokens represent roughly 27% of Celo’s current circulating supply (about 600 million tokens) and 16% of its total maximum supply (1 billion tokens). The tokens will be transferred in a one-time batch from the unreleased treasury to a Safe wallet controlled by Opera. To preserve governance balance, the proposal caps the voting power of these tokens at 10% of total staked CELO—excluding protocol emergency scenarios. CELO is currently trading at around $0.07, a sharp drop from its late-2021 peak of over $6.
