Strategy Inc., an organization with the largest corporate ownership of Bitcoin globally (over 820,000 units), is signaling a material change in managing its vast inventory of Bitcoins. The Executive Chairman, Michael Saylor, indicated during the company’s Q1’2026 earnings call that he may need to liquidate a small fraction of its massive inventory to pay for dividends and demonstrate to its shareholders that it can manage its financial obligations.

Strategy Inc. incurred a net loss of $12.542 billion during the Q1’2026 period. However, it is essential to recognize that the majority of that loss was generated by accounting losses associated with the decline in the price of its massive Bitcoin inventory. As a result, when the value of Strategy’s Bitcoin inventory decreased, the accounting rules required them to report the entire amount of that decrease as a loss, regardless of whether any of their coins had been sold.

Although Strategy suffered a huge “headline” loss due to a large decrease in the price of its Bitcoin inventory, they continued to accumulate additional Bitcoins. On May 3, 2026, they owned approximately 818,334 Bitcoins, which represents approximately 3.9% of all existing Bitcoins. The weighted average cost per Bitcoin purchased by Strategy is estimated to be approximately $75,537 and they have generated a Bitcoin yield of approximately 9.4% through Q2’2026.

As a result of Strategy’s extensive purchases of Bitcoins, they have entered into numerous substantial financial obligations to finance such purchases. Specifically, Strategy has financial obligations totaling approximately $1.5 billion annually for dividend payments and interest payments on its preferred equity and debt instruments. At present, Strategy has sufficient liquidity to cover substantially all of these obligations for over 18 months. Mr. Saylor noted that having the ability to sell Bitcoins from time-to-time would provide the company with yet another potential alternative should it become necessary.
