Strategy Abandons 'Never Sell' Bitcoin Policy, Signals Willingness to Liquidate Holdings

May 8, 2026

Strategy abandoned its long-standing 'never sell' Bitcoin policy on May 6, 2026, after reporting its third consecutive quarterly loss. Michael Saylor stated during the Q1 2026 earnings call that Strategy will probably sell some Bitcoin to pay a dividend to inoculate the market, reversing years of hardline rhetoric against liquidating its Bitcoin holdings.
