The largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Strategy, reported a loss of $12.5 billion for the first quarter of 2026. Strategy founder Michael Saylor suggested that the company might sell some of its reserve Bitcoin to pay dividends.
On May 5, Strategy announced that for the first three months of the year, it recorded a net loss of $12.54 billion. At the same time, unrealized losses from the company's digital assets amounted to $14.46 billion.
Strategy is building a Bitcoin reserve by raising funds to purchase them through the issuance of common Class A shares (MSTR) and perpetual preferred shares STRC with an current rate of 11.5% annually. The company's annual dividend obligations amount to $1.5 billion.
During the discussion of quarterly results, Saylor suggested that Strategy might completely abandon selling MSTR shares to raise capital and instead finance dividends by selling cryptocurrency. According to him, even with this model, the company plans to buy more Bitcoin over time than it sells to pay dividends on STRC, which has already been issued at $8.5 billion.
"Yes, we might sell a little Bitcoin to pay dividends, just to give the market some immunity, to show that we did it. Listen, everything is fine with the company. Everything is fine with Bitcoin. Everything is fine with the industry. The world hasn't collapsed. If you're betting on a decline and think the company will have to sell shares to pay dividends, I would gladly, you know, clip your wings," Saylor said.
According to CEO Fong Le, Strategy intends to continue increasing its Bitcoin reserve, but it is much more important for the company to increase the number of Bitcoin per share.
Statements about possible sales deviate from Saylor's long-standing position that Strategy "will never sell Bitcoin." After the first quarter discussion, Strategy's shares fell more than 4% in off-exchange trading, and Bitcoin dropped below $81,000, CoinDesk reported. As of 11:00 a.m. Moscow time on May 6, BTC price recovered to $81,400.
Ahead of the quarterly report, Strategy skipped a week of Bitcoin purchases. As of May 3, Strategy owned 818,334 BTC (about 4% of the total supply), purchased at an average of $75,537 and valued at the beginning of the month at $64 billion. Since 2020, the company has spent about $61.8 billion on their acquisition.

The Toncoin (TON) exchange rate hit a six-month high, rising above $2.2 for the first time since early November 2025. In the last 24 hours, the native cryptocurrency of the TON ecosystem has increased by 25%, and over two days — by 65%.
The coin has risen to 17th place in the list of the largest cryptocurrencies. Over the past day, it overtook Stellar (XLM), DAI (DAI), and Canton (CC) in this ranking. TON's market capitalization exceeded $6 billion.
The growth of Toncoin began after Telegram founder Pavel Durov on the evening of May 4 called to "make TON great again" and stated that the messenger would become the largest validator of the TON blockchain.
Validators are participants in the blockchain network who confirm transactions and support the operation of the blockchain. To do this, they lock their own coins in staking and receive rewards for processing transactions and creating new blocks. The more coins a validator has staked, the greater its influence on the network’s operation.
On the evening of May 5, Durov wrote that turning Telegram into the largest validator of the TON blockchain promotes decentralization. This allows other major players to join the validator pool without centralizing the network — with Telegram as a counterbalance, he wrote.
By that time, the TON exchange rate had stopped its sharp rise, but after Durov’s new post, the upward movement resumed. As of 12:00 Moscow time on May 6, Toncoin is trading at around $2.26.
There are a total of 400 validators in the TON network. According to blockchain explorer Tonscan, since the end of April, Telegram has already directed over 200 million TON ($446 million at the current rate) through several dozen of its validator nodes into staking and continues to do so.

A forecast of Bitcoin's market capitalization until 2030 has been made. Growth of more than ten times will be driven by the accelerated spread of BTC among major business representatives and the evolution of cryptocurrencies into a class of assets present in investment portfolios worldwide, according to analysts.
ARK Invest specialists compared Bitcoin's market capitalization with the gold market, which is estimated at approximately $12 trillion. According to analysts, properties such as limited supply and transparency make the first cryptocurrency an alternative to traditional savings means. If Bitcoin can capture about 40% of the gold market, this could add around $10 trillion to its market cap and potentially push the price above $730,000, investment experts suggested.
Overall, the cryptocurrency market, according to ARK Invest, is capable of growing from the current $2.7 trillion to $28 trillion, with the first cryptocurrency maintaining a dominant share. At the same time, analysts consider ongoing risks important, including potential legislative restrictions, technological vulnerabilities of the industry, and competition from other assets.
All these factors could hinder the growth of the crypto market's capitalization. However, the development of blockchain technologies and infrastructure will enable rapid overcoming of existing limitations, ARK Invest analysts assured.
Earlier, Benjamin Cowen, founder of Into the Cryptoverse, stated that despite the growth of major altcoins' prices, during later stages of the market cycle, liquidity is always absorbed by Bitcoin.

In the Arbitrum statement, it is said that funds were moved to an "intermediate frozen wallet." They are no longer accessible to the original owner and can only be unlocked by a network governance decision — provided proof of non-involvement in the hack.
The company noted that the decision was made with the participation of law enforcement agencies. According to Arbitrum, the actions did not affect users and network applications.
Security council member Griffin Green (Griff Green) wrote on social media X that 9 out of 12 participants voted for the freeze. He did not disclose additional details, only clarifying that "the decision was not easy."
Some users criticized Arbitrum's actions, pointing to possible contradictions with decentralization principles.
An attack on the liquid staking protocol Kelp occurred on April 18 through a LayerZero-based cross-chain bridge. The damage amounted to at least $293 million. The attackers used rights to stolen tokens to obtain loans on lending platforms, including Aave. The platforms considered the collateral valid despite the assets already being under the attackers' control. This led to the formation of unsecured debts: Aave alone had $200 million in debt.
In the wake of the incident, investors withdrew over $13 billion from DeFi projects over the weekend.
