Why is it masculine?

Acquisti is masculine because it derives from the Latin noun "acquisitus" (acquisition), which belonged to the second declension and carried masculine gender. In Latin, second declension masculine nouns typically ended in -us. When Italian evolved from Latin, these masculine nouns ending in -us generally retained their masculine gender and underwent a sound change where the final -us became -o, resulting in "acquisto."
