BREAKING: Michael Saylors Strategy Moves Bitcoin to Coinbase Crypto Exchange

In the Q1 earnings call earlier this month, Michael Saylor announced the company may sell some of its Bitcoin holdings to fund dividends. Markets saw a shift from the strict “never sell” narrative to “probably sell some Bitcoin.” The company plans to maximize BTC per share.

As CoinGape reported earlier, Strategy used cash reserves to repurchase $1.5 billion of its 0% convertible senior notes due in 2029. While it has reduced total convertible debt from $8.2 billion to $6.7 billion, cash reserves dropped to $871 million.

In addition, Strategy CEO Phong Le confirmed in a Thursday interview that the company will increase Bitcoin per share. He also claimed the company will continue to acquire BTC.
