Over the past six years, this giant has systematically accumulated more than $65 billion worth of Bitcoin. Will it sell part of its holdings this year? Users on the prediction market platform Myriad are increasingly confident that it will.
The Virginia-based company has seen the percentage of Bitcoin sold from its treasury surge to 82% this year. Myriad—a product that decrypted—its parent company Dastan’s stock rose 69% in last week’s trading after the company’s outspoken founder and chairman, Michael Saylor, stated that the company “might” sell some Bitcoin.
“We might sell some Bitcoin to pay dividends, just to give the market a buffer—just to show that we did it,” said Caylor. In the strategic Q&A session of the first-quarter earnings call Strategy’s President and CEO, Phong Le, expressed a similar view, stating that the company would sell Bitcoin when it aligns with the best interests of the company and its shareholders.
“We will sell Bitcoin when it is beneficial for the company,” Le said on the earnings call. “We won’t just sit back and say, ‘We will never sell Bitcoin.’”
This message stands in stark contrast to the tone Seliger previously used on social media, urging fans to “never sell Bitcoin.” This Bitcoin bull had also posted that users should “sell their kidneys” if necessary, just to hold the top-tier crypto asset.
However, on Thursday, the head of Strategy stated on X: “There were more bitcoins bought than sold.”
The amount of Bitcoin bought is greater than the amount sold.

But do Seliger’s recent comments truly reflect a strategic shift by the company, or is he merely mocking the skeptics?
In the new comments, wealth Thaler’s remarks seem closer to the former, reinforcing the fact that his company—the so far solid bastion of Bitcoin—may ultimately sell the very assets that made it famous.
He told the media: “Those detractors... skeptics and short sellers don’t realize that we’re only selling Bitcoin derivatives, and we have the right to sell Bitcoin itself.” He added that to counter the false claim that the company would never sell, it must “prove that you can exchange Bitcoin for shares or use Bitcoin to repay debt.”
Strategy releaseFirst-quarter net loss of $12.54 billion Earlier this week, the company's stock was buoyed by massive unrealized losses on its Bitcoin holdings, following a sharp decline in Bitcoin's price from its all-time high of $126,080 set in October. Bitcoin is currently down 36.5% from that peak, trading at approximately $80,058 on Friday—essentially flat over the past 24 hours but up 12% over the past 30 days.
