Michael Saylor – Executive Chairman of Strategy and known for his "indefinite Bitcoin accumulation" stance – made some notable statements in an interview with journalist Natalie Brunell, for the first time not ruling out the possibility of the company selling a portion of its Bitcoin this year.
From "never sell" to "not impossible"
For many years, Saylor built his reputation on the philosophy of absolutely accumulating Bitcoin, never selling, only buying more. However, in his latest interview, he stated: “I think, between now and the end of the year, it’s not impossible that we’ll sell some Bitcoin” – a clear shift in wording from his previous stance.
In addition, Saylor also stated that Strategy is “very likely” to sell stocks and credit products, while proactively managing its cash and dollar-denominated assets, suggesting the company is considering greater flexibility in its overall portfolio management.
Why is this important?
Strategy is currently the world's largest holder of Bitcoin among publicly listed companies, with over 550,000 BTC on its balance sheet. Any signal of a potential partial liquidation could impact market sentiment, as Strategy has long been XEM the "hardest long-term holder" among large institutions, and Saylor's stance is often watched by the crypto community as a barometer of confidence in Bitcoin.
