Net Buyer Despite Tactical Sales
Strategy (@MicroStrategy) CEO Phong Le (@phongle) says the company plans to resume buying $BTC later this year, pushing back against the idea that a run of recent sales signals a change in conviction.
In an interview with FOX Business, Le said Strategy had purchased around 175,000 Bitcoin since the beginning of the year while selling roughly 7,000 BTC, making the company a significant net buyer. The company has bought roughly 25 times more BTC than it has sold this year, despite the sales that drew scrutiny from the market.
Strategy's Bitcoin holdings currently sit at approximately 840,447 BTC, down from over 846,000 BTC earlier in 2026. That figure represents more than 4% of Bitcoin's total supply, a concentration that no other publicly traded company comes close to matching.
Sales Tied to Capital Management, Not a Change in Strategy
Fox Business reported that Le expects Strategy to return to Bitcoin accumulation as the company builds its US dollar reserve and supports its preferred stock products. Its US dollar reserves have increased to $4.65 billion.
Le characterized the sales as tactical moves designed to enhance the firm's capital structure, specifically to shore up its balance sheet and normalize the value of its STRC preferred stock product, which had drifted from where management wanted it.
Strategy aims to raise over $80 billion through a combination of debt and equity instruments, funding that would fuel further Bitcoin purchases and push the company toward its stated goal of holding 1 million BTC.
Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) is the world's first and largest Bitcoin Treasury Company, holding more Bitcoin than any other publicly traded entity. The company rebranded from MicroStrategy to Strategy as part of its pivot toward becoming a leveraged Bitcoin vehicle with a software business attached.
