Strategy (MSTR) planning to sell BTC to fund dividend
Posted on 5/8/26 at 1:13 pm
Posted on 5/8/26 at 1:13 pm
quote:
Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor signalling a potential bitcoin sale to cover $1.5 billion in annual dividend obligations.
quote:
Saylor framed the move as a feature of the model rather than a break from it.
quote:
"You buy bitcoin with credit, you let it appreciate, and then you sell bitcoin to pay the dividend."
quote:
That is a different sentence than every prior Strategy quarter, where the playbook was to issue more debt or equity to fund obligations rather than touch the BTC stack
Interesting on the pivot.. running out of lenders it seems

They've raised ~$3 billion in the last month what do you mean they've run out of lenders

Yep and they spent it all in Bitcoin and paying dividends.
Except now they are saying instead of borrowing they are going to sell Bitcoin... Wonder why

If you listened to the call, they said they would sell if accretive to the share price. I.e. common trading below accretive MNAV, selling high priced tranches to book tax loss with repurchasing due to no wash sale rules, etc. They didn't come out and change their philosophy and the market agrees with that since BTC price hasn't moved. If the largest single holder came out and said they are going to start selling BTC to pay the dividends, price would tank.

Bitcoin has been held up by this guy. Unless he's secretly funded by the fedgov (which wouldn't be surprising)

I mean I took the actual saylor quote from a coin desk article. It is not even an anti crypto outfit.

Right...its a single quote without context of the rest of the discussion around it

This sounds Ike a debt fueled ponzi scheme. What am I missing?
