On May 31, 2026, the strategy sold 32 BTC at $77,135 each, totaling $2.5 million. This marks the firm’s first public BTC market update involving a sale, reversing its “never sell” policy. MSTR shares fell over 6% in pre-market trading. Analysts suggest the move likely aims to manage liquidity or enhance BTC per share value. The community remains divided, with many noting the sale’s relatively small size compared to Strategy’s total holdings.

BlockBeats news: On June 1, Strategy sold 32 bitcoins last week at an average price of approximately $77,135 per bitcoin, raising around $2.5 million.


This is the company’s first-ever intentional public sale of Bitcoin, having previously been known for aggressive buying and long-term holding. Following the announcement, MSTR’s stock price dropped more than 6% in pre-market trading. Industry insiders believe this move may serve liquidity management, balance sheet optimization, or the “Bitcoin per share” strategy, rather than signaling a shift to a bearish outlook.


Real-time market hot comments: The classic joke "Buy high, sell low" — multiple posts directly complain about "buying high and selling low," "they finally hit the sell button," and even "the guru who never sells has been shaken."


@hiRavenCrypto stated, "Just a rounding error, no need to panic": Many investors noted that 32 coins are merely a "rounding error" compared to their 840,000+ holdings, and they remain steadfast holders. "Selling such a small amount could be a liquidity test or tax optimization."


@TreasuryStocks initiates discussion on strategy shift: Some associate this with the company’s recent statements (CEO Phong Le mentioned the possibility of actively managing Bitcoin to enhance "Bitcoin per share" value), suggesting a move from pure HODLing to dynamic capital allocation. Some speculate this could be to create room for larger future moves or to balance debt.


Saylor fan/questioner @kshitizkapoor said, “Believers in ‘Never sell your Bitcoin’ are watching,” “the cult is watching,” “Saylor finally sold—has the times changed?”


The overall discussion tone is playful yet cautiously optimistic, with most people believing this scale has negligible impact on Strategy’s Bitcoin empire, but signaling a potential shift from “never sell” to “sell smart.”
