Fact Check
The core of the claim—that Michael Saylor's firm (Strategy/MSTR) set a single-day record for Bitcoin acquisition via its STRC equity vehicle on March 9, 2026—is confirmed by multiple authoritative sources including CoinDesk and Crypto News. The specific figure of 1,360 BTC is widely reported by secondary news outlets and tracking accounts like BTCtreasuries, though CoinDesk's more detailed analysis suggests the figure could be as high as 1,420 BTC based on trading volume. The 'record' status is consistent across all reports.

According to STRC.live, the sale proceeds from that activity could fund roughly 1,420 BTC purchases on March 10.
