The company also sold 801,994 shares of common stock, raising $128.3 million, in the same period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Strategy shares fell 5.85%. Bitcoin fell 2% on the news to its lowest level since April 13.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">This is the second time Strategy has ever sold bitcoin and comes soon after the company announced a pivot from Saylor&#8217;s longstanding\u00a0&#8220;never sell&#8221;\u00a0strategy in favor of actively managing its balance sheet. That includes potentially selling bitcoin if it improves bitcoin-per-share metrics, pays dividends or strengthens the company&#8217;s financial position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">&#8220;We want to be net aggregators of bitcoin \u2013 increasing our total bitcoin, but more importantly, increasing our bitcoin per share because we think that is what is going to be most accretive long term for MSTR,&#8221; Strategy CEO Phong Le said on the company&#8217;s earnings call in early May.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.5em auto;text-align:center;max-width:min(100%,720px)\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"http:\/\/newsdailyhub.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/108310450-17793665881779366584-46082933958-1080pnbcnews.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"display:block;margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">A big part of the company&#8217;s new focus is STRC, a yield-paying security issued by Strategy that lets investors earn income backed by the company&#8217;s bitcoin-heavy balance sheet instead of buying bitcoin directly. The aim is to turn its bitcoin holdings into a credit engine, where investor demand for income products allows Strategy to grow its bitcoin stack faster than simply buying and holding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The last time Strategy sold bitcoin was in December 2022, during a bitcoin bear market marked by rate hikes, the collapse of FTX and widespread crypto contagion stemming from interconnected lending platforms and hedge funds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Bitcoin is more than 42% from its all-time high over $126,000.
