Michael Saylor: Even If Strategy Sells 1 BTC, It Plans to Buy 10 More

Strategy says any Bitcoin sales would be outweighed by larger BTC purchases and long-term accumulation.

Strategy plans to keep expanding its Bitcoin holdings, even if the company occasionally sells part of its reserve. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said any future sales would remain small compared to the firm’s continued purchases. Comments came after recent discussions about funding dividends tied to Strategy’s STRC perpetual preferred stock program.

Saylor Says Bitcoin Should Be Treated as Capital, Not for Liquidation

Fresh remarks from company executives also showed a more flexible approach toward using Bitcoin as a treasury asset. Rather than treating holdings as permanently untouchable, Strategy may use part of its reserve when conditions favor shareholders. Even so, leadership insists the company’s long-term direction remains focused on accumulation.

Speaking during a weekend podcast interview, Saylor said Strategy would continue adding Bitcoin at a much faster pace than any possible sales.

“In these periods, even if we were to sell one Bitcoin, we’d be buying 10 to 20 more Bitcoin,” Saylor said. “You should be a net accumulator of Bitcoin.”

Saylor added that Bitcoin should be viewed as capital rather than an asset meant for constant liquidation. According to him, companies should aim to finish each year holding more Bitcoin than they started with.

Saylor Softens ‘Never Sell Bitcoin’ Position Amid STRC Dividend Plans

The CEO’s remarks followed Strategy’s latest earnings call, where Saylor discussed ways to fund dividends for the STRC perpetual preferred stock offering. He explained that Strategy could temporarily pause sales of MSTR common shares and instead use limited Bitcoin sales to cover dividend obligations.

Recent comments mark a shift from Saylor’s earlier stance that Bitcoin should never be sold under any circumstances. Strategy now appears willing to treat part of its reserve as a financial tool when conditions make it beneficial.

During a separate interview with CNBC, Strategy CEO Phong Le said the company would only sell Bitcoin if doing so improves shareholder value.

“I believe in math over ideology,” Le said. “At the point where selling BTC versus selling equity to pay a dividend is better for our Bitcoin-per-share, we will do it.”

Le said management would focus heavily on Bitcoin-per-share metrics before making such decisions. Any move involving Bitcoin sales would still need to support long-term growth in holdings per shareholder.

Saylor also posted “Back to work. BTC.” on X. Similar posts from him have frequently appeared before new Bitcoin purchase announcements.

JPMorgan Predicts Another $30B in BTC Purchases From Strategy in 2026

Strategy currently holds 818,334 BTC, valued at roughly $66.2 billion at current market prices. Analysts at JPMorgan Chase recently estimated the company could purchase nearly $30 billion worth of BTC this year if buying activity continues at its current rate.

Beyond Bitcoin, Le also pointed to gains inside Strategy’s software division. In a post on X, he said the company’s software business recorded its strongest quarter in more than ten years.

Revenue from the segment rose 12% during the first quarter of 2026. Le credited growth partly to the company’s internal AI systems and data infrastructure.

Strategy has developed an AI-focused data platform called Mosaic. According to Le, the system creates a semantic layer for enterprise data and supports future AI agent applications.

Company leadership is also rebuilding internal workflows around multiple AI models. Le said many internal software systems could eventually be replaced through automation over the next year.
