Strategy Shifts Bitcoin Policy, Sells BTC for Dividends and Reserves

Strategy has shifted its Bitcoin management approach to allow sales of BTC to support broader financial needs. This change comes after a tough quarter with large unrealized losses on Bitcoin holdings, prompting a more flexible use of BTC as liquidity.

The company recently sold $218.4 million in Bitcoin to fund dividends and replenish reserves. This move signals a shift away from only buying Bitcoin with new capital, which was the previous strategy.

Future stock offerings may no longer automatically lead to Bitcoin purchases but could strengthen liquidity or fund buybacks instead.
