Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, has signaled that his company may return to buying Bitcoin (BTC) after a week of stopping buying ahead of its Q1 2026 earnings report.
In a post on the X platform, Saylor wrote ‘Back to work, BTC’ a message that has previously appeared before Strategy makes new Bitcoin purchases.
Strategy previously bought over 3,000 BTC in late April, bringing their total holdings to over 818,000 BTC, worth tens of billions of dollars.
The company’s average purchase cost is estimated at around $75,000 per Bitcoin, and currently their investment is still showing a profit of around 7–8%.
However, in the latest earnings call, Saylor also made a rather surprising statement when he said that the company may sell a small portion of Bitcoin periodically.
The purpose is to pay dividends to their credit instrument holders and manage the company’s finances.
This statement caused a debate in the crypto community because Strategy was previously known for its ‘never sell Bitcoin’ approach.
Some are concerned that this sale could put pressure on the price of BTC in the market.
However, Strategy management has clarified that any sales will only be made in specific situations, such as to pay dividends or other financial purposes, and not for active trading.
Strategy CEO Phong Le also stressed that with the huge daily Bitcoin trading volume in the market, any small sales from the company should not have a major impact on the overall price of BTC.
Strategy still remains one of the largest Bitcoin holders in the world, but now they are starting to open up the possibility of a more flexible approach, not just buying, but also selling in certain circumstances.
