- • Strategy now holds 846,842 Bitcoin worth $56.9 billion, maintaining its position as the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder, while simultaneously increasing its US dollar reserve by $100 million to $1.1 billion.
- • The acquisition follows a rare Bitcoin sale of 32 BTC ($2.47 million) earlier in June—Strategy's first sale since 2022—signaling a strategic shift after years of Saylor's public messaging to "never sell" Bitcoin, though Saylor had previously signaled such sales could occur to fund dividends.

- • The dual strategy of simultaneous buying and dollar reserve accumulation demonstrates Strategy's confidence in Bitcoin while maintaining balance sheet flexibility, with Saylor framing the rare sale as a messaging action to "inoculate the market."
Summary
Michael Saylor's Strategy executed a $100 million Bitcoin acquisition between June 8 and June 15, 2026, purchasing 1,587 BTC at an average price of $63,024 per coin. The transaction represents the firm's second consecutive substantial acquisition, following a $101 million purchase of 1,550 BTC the previous week at an average of $65,332 per coin. These back-to-back purchases demonstrate accelerated accumulation activity after a three-week pause in buying activity.
The recent acquisitions follow an unexpected development: Strategy's sale of 32 Bitcoin for $2.47 million earlier in June, marking the firm's first BTC sale since 2022. This sale represented a notable tactical shift for a company whose executive chairman has spent years publicly advocating against Bitcoin sales. However, Saylor had previously telegraphed this possibility during an earnings call, indicating the firm would "probably sell some Bitcoin to fund a dividend just to inoculate the market—just to send the message that we did it." This framing positions the sale as a strategic communication action rather than a loss of conviction.
Following the latest $100 million acquisition, Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings reached 846,842 BTC valued at $56.9 billion at the time of the filing. Concurrently, the firm increased its US dollar reserve by $100 million to $1.1 billion, maintaining enhanced liquidity while substantially expanding its Bitcoin position. Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally and was the first publicly traded company to adopt BTC as its sole treasury reserve asset.
Market response to the announcement proved positive, with Strategy's stock gaining 8% on June 15 and 9% over the preceding week, though the shares remain down 24% over the previous month. Bitcoin itself rose 5% on June 15 and 6% over the seven-day period, coinciding with Strategy's accumulation activity. The firm's dual strategy of aggressive Bitcoin acquisition coupled with dollar reserve expansion signals management confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value while preserving operational flexibility.
