Saylor Defends Strategy’s Bitcoin Sales and Sees Bull Market Ahead

Michael Saylor told Bloomberg Crypto that Strategy’s bitcoin sales were part of normal operations, not a shift in strategy. The first batch of 32 BTC was sold at the end of May 2026 for $77,140 each. Between late May and mid-August the company offloaded a total of 6,948 BTC, mostly in the $59,000–$64,000 range.

Saylor said the strong market reaction to the initial sale was overblown. He had previously spoken about a “hold” approach only for his personal holdings. Strategy, he stressed, functions as a structured finance vehicle that can freely trade bitcoin, shares, or debt instruments whenever it benefits shareholders.

CEO Phong Le called the moves the right call. Saylor added that repeated sales helped investors get used to the idea and made the company more mature.

He also argued that bitcoin is entering a bull phase. The price has moved to a roughly 25 % premium above the 200-week moving average as tighter trade and monetary policies ease.
