Strategy officially sold 3,588 Bitcoins, cashing out $216 million to pay dividends on digital credit securities.
As of July 5, the company's Bitcoin reserves have decreased to 843,775 coins, while holding $2.55 billion in USD reserves. Previously, at the end of May, it sold 32 BTC to cover preferred stock dividends.
Amid pressure on Bitcoin prices and expanding unrealized losses, the company increasingly relies on selling part of its reserves to meet dividend obligations.

Strategy has been led by Michael Saylor since 2020 in using Bitcoin as a primary corporate reserve asset, having repeatedly increased its holdings at market lows, at one point holding over 250,000 coins, making it one of the largest Bitcoin holders among publicly traded companies. It has also leveraged funds for Bitcoin purchases through convertible bonds.
In terms of capital strategy, the company periodically sells small portions of its Bitcoin reserves to convert into USD liquidity, prioritizing dividend and debt obligations while retaining core positions as a long-term hedge against inflation. This approach balances short-term cash needs with a long-term holding strategy in a high-volatility Bitcoin environment.
This operation is similar to Tesla's 2021 sale of part of its Bitcoin reserves to address liquidity needs, or other companies using Bitcoin as a corporate reserve rebalancing at cyclical lows. Currently, Strategy is transitioning from aggressive expansion to sustainable cash flow management.
Essentially, this represents a transition of capital concentration towards restructuring the industrial chain: the adoption of Bitcoin as a corporate asset prompts traditional companies to reconfigure their balance sheets, achieving a dynamic balance of pricing power and liquidity through partial monetization during price pressure periods, encouraging more institutions to incorporate crypto assets into treasury strategies.

The larger the holdings, the more liquidity management becomes a core competitive advantage.
