Strategy has made clear its commitment to remaining a net purchaser of bitcoin regardless of any potential sales. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor revealed the company would acquire “10 to 20” bitcoin for every single unit sold. These statements followed the earnings announcement as Strategy evaluates different approaches to funding STRC dividend payments, including potential bitcoin sales.
Strategy reinforces commitment to net bitcoin growth
Saylor explained the company’s strategy in interviews published over the weekend. He emphasized that Strategy might conduct bitcoin sales occasionally, while always purchasing significantly more than it divests.
“In these periods, even if we were to sell one bitcoin, we’d be buying 10 to 20 more bitcoin,” he stated.
He emphasized the importance of long-term accumulation in his messaging.
“You should be a net accumulator of bitcoin,” Saylor explained. He continued, “You don’t want to be a net seller of bitcoin because bitcoin is capital.”
During the latest earnings call, Saylor discussed the company’s funding options. He mentioned Strategy can halt MSTR common stock issuance when necessary. He further indicated the company could use bitcoin sales to cover STRC preferred dividend payments.
He made clear that any such sales would maintain overall holdings growth over time. He stated the company targets finishing each year with increased bitcoin quantities. He emphasized that replenishing any bitcoin sold remains a core principle of the strategy.
Strategy’s current bitcoin treasury consists of 818,334 BTC. This position represents approximately $66.2 billion in value at current market prices. JPMorgan analysts projected last week that the company’s purchases might total $30 billion throughout this year.
Evaluating bitcoin sales versus equity offerings
Strategy CEO Phong Le discussed the dividend funding approach during a CNBC interview. He indicated the company will evaluate bitcoin sales alongside equity issuance options. He positioned the decision around maximizing bitcoin-per-share metrics.
“I believe in math over ideology,” Le commented. He explained the company would pursue bitcoin sales when that approach better enhances bitcoin-per-share ratios. He added that the decision framework centers on benefiting common shareholders.
Le clarified that Strategy will analyze which funding method delivers superior accretion. When bitcoin sales demonstrate better performance than equity offerings, the company will execute that option. He underscored that shareholder value drives every decision.
Saylor shared “Back to work. BTC.” on X this past Sunday. Similar social media posts have historically signaled upcoming bitcoin acquisitions in recent weeks. The company has yet to confirm any new purchase at this time.
Strategy’s Nasdaq-traded shares finished up 4.31% at $187.59. The equity has advanced 41.7% over the last month. The stock has declined 18.9% across the past six months.
Le also drew attention to expansion beyond the bitcoin treasury. He noted the first quarter of 2026 represented the strongest software performance in ten years. The software division achieved 12% revenue growth during this timeframe.
He referenced the company’s AI data platform, Mosaic. He described Mosaic as creating a semantic layer for enterprise data systems. He also revealed Strategy aims to automate numerous internal processes throughout the coming year.
