Strategy Would 'Consider' Bitcoin Sales When Advantageous: CEO

Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy revealed a shift in its Bitcoin strategy during its Q1 earnings call, with CEO Phong Le stating that the company would "consider" selling BTC when advantageous. Chair Michael Saylor added that, "We'll probably sell some Bitcoin to fund a dividend just to inoculate the market—just to send the message that we did it.” The company's net loss of $12.54 billion in Q1 2026 was mainly due to Bitcoin's decline.
