Michael Saylor spent years telling anyone who would listen that Strategy would never sell its Bitcoin. In June 2026, CoinDesk reported that the company had sold for the first time since 2022.

By the middle of August, data compiled by CryptoQuant showed roughly 6,916 BTC sold across five transactions this year, with realised losses exceeding $102 million — every sale after the first executed below the company’s average cost basis of $75,385 per coin.
