Bitcoin experienced a surge in accumulation during the week of March 10, 2026, driven by both spot Bitcoin ETFs and significant corporate purchases. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led ETF inflows with $109.31 million on Monday, contributing to a cumulative inflow exceeding $62.58 billion, while total U.S. spot BTC ETF inflows reached $167.03 million. Fidelity’s FBTC also saw substantial inflows of around $60.09 million. Simultaneously, Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, continued its aggressive acquisition strategy, purchasing 17,994 BTC for $1.28 billion and increasing its total holdings to 738,731 BTC – nearly 3.7% of all circulating tokens. Several reports indicate record-breaking daily purchases by Strategy, exceeding 1,360 BTC on some days, funded through stock offerings. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong predicts AI agents will soon dominate financial transactions, favoring crypto due to its accessibility. Nasdaq is also exploring blockchain integration with Kraken. These developments signal a growing convergence between traditional finance and the crypto space.
