BREAKING: Michael Saylor and Strategy Announce They May Sell Bitcoin

Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor made noteworthy statements during the live broadcast announcing the company’s first-quarter 2026 financial results. While sharing Strategy’s capital market principles, Saylor stated that selling Bitcoin could be considered if it proved advantageous for the company.

The presentation stated that one of Strategy’s core objectives is to “create long-term value by increasing the amount of Bitcoin per share (BPS).” The company also announced plans to grow demand for its $STRC product, reduce convertible debt based on market conditions, and adjust USD reserve size according to credit risk.

One of the most striking clauses was the statement, “selling $BTC when it is advantageous for the company.”

Michael Saylor said, “We will probably sell some Bitcoin to pay dividends. We will do this to send a message to the market and to show that we can do this.”

Strategy announced that it held 818,334 Bitcoin on its balance sheet as of the first quarter, and that its $BTC return since the beginning of 2026 has reached 9.4%. The company also reported that its $STRC program reached a size of $8.5 billion in 9 months and that it has raised a total of $11.6 billion so far in 2026, making it the largest publicly traded stock issuer in the US.
