Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, bought 1,550 more BTC for about $101.3 million (average ~$65,332) between June 1–7, lifting its total to 845,256 BTC (roughly $53.5 billion). The purchases were funded via ATM sales of MSTR stock, the firm’s USD reserves rose to $1 billion, and the stake now accounts for just over 4% of Bitcoin’s supply, implying about $10.5 billion in paper losses at current prices.
Strategy's executive chairman Michael Saylor posted a BTC acquisition tracker on X with the caption 'A good time to add more dots,' a signal that a fresh bitcoin purchase may be disclosed this week. Strategy holds about 843,706 BTC at an average cost of $75,699 as of May 31, leaving the treasury roughly $11.7 billion underwater at current prices as BTC trades around the $61k level. The signal follows Strategy's June 1 disclosure that it sold 32 BTC (May 26–31) for about $2.5 million to fund the STRC dividend, and it comes one day before the June 8 annual meeting vote on moving STRC dividend payments from monthly to twice monthly. If a new buy is disclosed, it would fit Saylor’s pattern of signaling purchases ahead of 8-K filings, amid a broader market backdrop of weak prices and ETF outflows.
Bitcoin extended its longest losing streak since August, sliding to around $61,300 as bearish momentum and a week of record ETF outflows weighed on sentiment. Ether dropped to its lowest since April 2025, and a rare sale by Michael Saylor's Strategy Inc. added pressure, even as tech stocks rallied.
Strategy Inc., built to buy and hold Bitcoin, now faces a three-front squeeze as Bitcoin slides, the stock falls, and its STRC preferred shares trade below par. The firm just sold 32 Bitcoin for about $2.5 million—its first sale since 2022—raising the question of whether it can simultaneously protect Bitcoin holdings, support the stock, and maintain confidence in the preferred shares; analysts say one group may have to bear the pain to protect the others.
Strategy sold 32 BTC for about $2.5 million and used $2 billion from STRC to buy 24,869 BTC, draining cash ahead of a monthly dividend. The move breaks the long-running “never sell” narrative, sparks concerns of a structural crack in Strategy’s Bitcoin yield flywheel, and coincides with STRC depegging and about $1.76 billion in liquidations as BTC trades near the mid-$60k range. Analysts split: some see it as balance-sheet leverage friction rather than a death spiral, while others see potential for further equity raises or dividend tweaks and possible more BTC sales. The path forward remains uncertain amid volatile price action and shifting institutional dynamics.
Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor disclosed selling 32 BTC between May 26–31 at an average of about $77,135 (roughly $2.5 million), marking the first Bitcoin sale by the company since December 2022. Proceeds will fund distributions on STRC preferred stock, even as STRC carries roughly $13.5 billion in preferred obligations with about $871 million in cash, raising questions about future selling and dividend coverage. The news coincides with a Bitcoin dip to around the $69k area and has spurred a Polymarket dispute over whether the May sale qualifies, highlighting investor uncertainty about Strategy’s ongoing crypto exposure.

Bitcoin traded around the $90k–$97k range amid volatility, while Strategy’s stock has fallen sharply and the company says it holds about $2.2 billion in cash.
