Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, signaled the company will resume its Bitcoin purchases this week. In a Sunday X post, he wrote "Back to work, BTC," a message that has historically preceded a new BTC acquisition, typically announced the following day.
This comes after a one-week pause ahead of Strategy's first quarter 2026 earnings call. During that call on Tuesday, Saylor said the company may periodically sell portions of its Bitcoin holdings to pay dividends to holders of its credit instruments, a shift from its previous stance of never selling.
Critics argue the potential sales could introduce selling pressure on Bitcoin's price. However, Saylor described the move as a way to "inoculate the market," while Strategy CEO Phong Le emphasized that the company's transactions are too small relative to Bitcoin's $60 billion daily trading volume to have a significant impact.
Strategy last purchased Bitcoin on April 27, buying 3,273 coins for about $255 million, bringing its total holdings to 818,334 BTC, worth about $61.8 billion at the time.
