Overview
- The company disclosed that it sold 3,588 BTC for about $216 million between June 29 and July 5 to pay distributions on its STRC preferred securities and top up its dollar reserve.
- After the transactions Strategy reported holding 843,775 BTC and a U.S. dollar reserve of roughly $2.55 billion while its $1.25 billion monetization capacity remains available.
- The firm reported an $8.32 billion second‑quarter digital‑asset loss that was almost entirely unrealized and the recent sales were executed below Strategy’s average acquisition cost of about $75,476 per coin.
- Markets reacted by trimming Strategy’s valuation and preferred securities prices, analysts flagged limited cash runway and dividend obligations as principal risks, and some sell‑side firms said forced liquidation remains unlikely.
- The moves formalize a shift from a strict buy‑and‑hold treasury policy to active balance‑sheet management that could reduce Strategy’s role as a consistent marginal buyer of bitcoin and increase scrutiny of its capital structure.
