Strategy, the company led by Michael Saylor, has sold 32 Bitcoins for approximately $2.5 million, according to a recent SEC filing. The transaction was completed between May 26 and May 31 at an average price of $77,135 per BTC, marking the company\u2019s first Bitcoin sale since its 2022 tax-loss harvesting trade. This ends the Saylor buy-and-hold strategy for the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Why Did Strategy Sell Bitcoin After Years of Buying?<\/h2>\n

According to the SEC filing,<\/a> the sale involved 32 Bitcoin at an average price of $77,135 per coin. While the transaction is relatively small compared to the company\u2019s massive Bitcoin holdings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company said the proceeds from the sale are expected to be used to help fund dividend payments on its preferred stock.<\/p>\n

The move was not entirely unexpected. During the company\u2019s first-quarter earnings call, Saylor suggested that selling<\/a> a small amount of Bitcoin could help improve the firm\u2019s Bitcoin-per-share metric over the coming years.<\/p>\n

CEO Phong Le also indicated that any sales would likely occur near the company\u2019s cost basis, allowing Strategy to avoid significant tax consequences while maintaining its long-term Bitcoin strategy.<\/p>\n

How Much Bitcoin Does Strategy Still Own?<\/h2>\n

Despite the sale, Strategy remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, holding 843,706 BTC<\/a> worth more than $61 billion at current prices. The 32 BTC sale reduced holdings by only about 0.004%, making it largely symbolic compared with the firm\u2019s aggressive accumulation strategy.<\/p>\n

The firm acquired its holdings at a total cost of $63.87 billion, with an average purchase price of $75,699 per Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

In fact, Strategy has added approximately 171,000 Bitcoin during 2026 alone, reinforcing its position as the largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s (MSTR) Stock Fall 5%<\/h2>\n

The announcement came as Strategy\u2019s stock faced additional pressure.<\/p>\n

Shares of MSTR fell around 5%<\/a> to roughly $151 after investors digested both the Bitcoin sale and the company\u2019s latest stock issuance activity.<\/p>\n

Between May 26 and May 31, Strategy sold 801,994 shares through its at-the-market offering program, raising approximately $128.3 million in net proceeds.<\/p>\n

The combination of share sales and Bitcoin sales fueled concerns among some investors about how the company plans to manage capital going forward.<\/p>\n

Polymarket Trader Turns $19K Bet Into Potential $200K Win<\/h2>\n

The sale has also created an unexpected winner. A Polymarket trader known as \u201cSurprised-Legacy\u201d reportedly<\/a> turned a $19,610 wager into a potential $200,000 payout by betting that Strategy had sold Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The prediction market remains unresolved as participants await final confirmation through additional company filings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
