Strategy has sold 3,588 Bitcoin for $216 million to fund dividends on its Digital Credit securities. This sale is part of a wider capital plan that allows limited Bitcoin monetization for liquidity needs. The company still holds 843,775 BTC in reserves and $2.55 billion in USD reserves. The sale comes after Strategy sold 32 BTC in May to support preferred stock distributions. This sale is larger and happens during a sensitive time for Bitcoin traders. Strategy’s Bitcoin monetization plan allows up to $1.25 billion in sales under certain conditions. The company aims to balance its Bitcoin accumulation strategy with active balance sheet management. Bitcoin sentiment remains fragile after a tough June for the cryptocurrency. Strategy’s model faces scrutiny as its stock premium weakens. Michael Saylor defends the limited Bitcoin sales as necessary for liquidity management.
