Strategy may restart its Bitcoin purchases this week after a short pause in buying activity. Michael Saylor signaled the move on Sunday through an X post. The message followed the company’s first-quarter earnings call on Tuesday.
Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, posted “Back to work, BTC” on X. Similar posts from him have often come before company purchases. Strategy has usually disclosed new Bitcoin buys shortly after those messages.
The company last bought Bitcoin on April 27. It purchased 3,273 BTC for about $255 million. That deal raised its total holdings to 818,334 BTC.
Bitcoin Treasury Debate Grows After Strategy Earnings Call
Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings were worth about $61.8 billion at the time of publication, according to the company’s website. The firm remains one of the largest corporate holders of BTC. Its buying activity continues to draw attention from traders and investors.
The latest signal came after Strategy paused its buying streak for one week. The pause happened before its first-quarter 2026 earnings call. During that call, Saylor said the company may sell portions of its Bitcoin treasury from time to time.
Saylor said some sales could help fund dividends for holders of Strategy’s credit instruments. He said the company may sell some Bitcoin to fund a dividend. He also said the move could show the market that Strategy has that option.

The comment drew attention because Strategy had often presented a long-term holding stance. Critics said periodic sales could add pressure to the market. They argued that selling from a major corporate holder could affect Bitcoin sentiment.
Bitcoin Community Split Over Strategy’s Sale Plan
The reaction from the Bitcoin community was split. Strategy investor Adam Livingston explained that occasional sales can be useful in pursuing the treasury strategy of the company. It can finance future BTC purchases, according to him.
Samson Mow, another Bitcoin advocate, supported the company’s flexibility in its strategy and emphasized that the flexibility of actions is vital. In his opinion, the possibility to sell gives Strategy more opportunities in financial markets.
Some social media users were skeptical about the new strategy. They claimed that the BTC sales by Strategy and credit instruments might push the spot market for Bitcoin. As a result, there might be a “doom loop” for the price of BTC.
Phong Le, the CEO of Strategy, made it clear that the firm will make BTC sales under certain conditions. The conditions are related to the distribution of dividends and tax deferrals.
Le stated that Strategy’s transactions will not influence the market price of Bitcoin. The average daily trading volume exceeds $60 billion. The market can handle $1.5 billion of dividends annually.
