Michael Saylor Denies Bitcoin Never-Sell Claim, Says Strategy Plans to Stay Net Buyer

Michael Saylor said Strategy has never committed to a “never sell” Bitcoin policy, and that the company’s Bitcoin monetization program does not require it to sell any BTC. He added that Strategy expects to remain a net buyer of Bitcoin over time ^[1].

Saylor’s comments followed circulating reports that Strategy had received authorization to sell up to $5 billion of Bitcoin after posting a quarterly loss. In response, Saylor said the $5 billion figure related to authorizations under the previously announced BTC monetization program, and other coverage also asserted that no new approval had been granted ^{[2] [3] [4]}.

Across the statements and follow-up reporting, Saylor reiterated that Strategy’s disclosures allow for potential BTC monetization but does not amount to a pledge to never sell, and that the company anticipates remaining a net buyer in the long run ^{[1] [3]}.
