Head of Strategy Indicates Potential Sale of Company’s Bitcoins for Market “Vaccination”, 2026/05/06 11:43:44
The founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, indicated that his firm, the largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin, might sell a portion of its Bitcoin holdings acquired over the past six years to “vaccinate the market against panic” and bolster investor confidence.

Strategy is contemplating a partial liquidation of its Bitcoin reserves to repurchase shares and reduce some debt, as well as to take advantage of tax benefits. Saylor described this move as a demonstration of the company’s resilience and the overall strength of the cryptocurrency market.
“We are likely to take this step for vaccination and to fund dividends just to make it clear: we did this. Everyone will understand that the organization is fine, Bitcoin is fine, the industry is fine, and the world hasn’t collapsed,” Saylor stated.
The head of Strategy mentioned that the company is highly optimistic about the success of its perpetual preferred stock, Stretch (STRC), which is currently being sold to finance Bitcoin purchases. According to the entrepreneur, this instrument has facilitated the acquisition of the majority of the capital needed to purchase 145,834 BTC since the beginning of the year. Saylor expressed the company’s intention to transform STRC into “the largest credit mechanism in the world.”
Strategy aims to aggressively increase its BTC purchases, the entrepreneur assured. He noted that with a loosening of the monetary policy by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), meaning cheaper loans, along with a further rise in Bitcoin’s price, the company is prepared to accelerate capital acquisition, actively issue STRC, increase leverage, and enhance its Bitcoin purchases.
Strategy reported a net loss of $12.5 billion for the first quarter, attributed to a 23.8% decline in Bitcoin’s price during the reporting period. The corporation’s unrealized losses on digital assets reached $14.46 billion. As of May 3, Strategy holds 818,334 BTC, which is a 22% increase compared to the start of the year. The average purchase price of the coin was approximately $75,537, and the total book value of the company’s crypto assets reached about $61.81 billion.
Previously, Michael Saylor stated that the first cryptocurrency could reach $10 million, but this would depend on the development of digital lending instruments.
