Cryptocurrency Strategy Added 535 BTC to Its Portfolio After Signaling Possible Bitcoin Sales
  • Strategy continued expanding its Bitcoin holdings.
  • The company purchased an additional 535 $BTC, increasing its total portfolio to 818,869 $BTC.
  • Thanks to Bitcoin’s recent price growth, the investment portfolio has moved into significant unrealized profit territory.
  • Earlier, Strategy’s management indicated that the company may sell part of its Bitcoin holdings.

Strategy acquired another 535 $BTC worth approximately $43 million, bringing its total crypto holdings to 818,869 $BTC. The announcement was made by the company’s co-founder, Michael Saylor.

According to Saylor, the average purchase price for the latest acquisition was $80,340, which remains below the current market price. Across the entire portfolio, the average acquisition cost is even lower at $75,540.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $81,153. This places Strategy’s portfolio at approximately $5.4 billion in unrealized profit, driven by Bitcoin’s price appreciation over recent weeks.

Saylor stated that the return on these investments since January 1, 2026, stands at 9.4%.

It is worth noting that this marks Strategy’s first Bitcoin purchase since late April 2026.

Previously, during the company’s first-quarter earnings conference, Saylor said that Strategy may sell part of its Bitcoin holdings to pay dividends on STRC.

STRC represents preferred shares with a floating dividend rate, currently yielding 11.5%.

CEO Phong Le explained that the company is prepared to deviate from its long-standing “never sell Bitcoin” approach if selling a portion of its holdings helps cover obligations without diluting Bitcoin exposure per share.

In other words, Strategy would rather partially monetize its Bitcoin portfolio than raise additional capital through the issuance of common stock to cover dividend payments.

The company’s statements drew criticism within the cryptocurrency community.

Saylor later attempted to reassure the market, arguing that selling a small portion of Bitcoin reserves could allow the company to issue more STRC, improve the quality of its capitalization, attract additional capital, and eventually continue expanding its Bitcoin holdings again.
