Strategy Sells BTC, Eyes Bigger Buy
Strategy is navigating a crisis in its Bitcoin treasury model, oscillating between forced BTC sales, purchase pauses, and resumed accumulation as STRC preferred stock stress and unrealized losses reshape its capital framework.
Strategy sold 3,588 BTC for approximately $216 million, its largest single sale to date, following the introduction of its Digital Credit Capital Framework that ended the company's longstanding no-sell policy. Michael Saylor separately signaled a tactical nature to the sale with hints at a larger follow-on purchase, while Grayscale stated the sales should restore confidence in Strategy's financing structure and Jiang Zhuoer warned the full board-approved 20,000 BTC may ultimately be disposed of. Bitcoin's price fell up to 4% on the announcement before rebounding to $63,800, with the sale executed via OTC trades.
