Michael Saylor Defends His Bitcoin Stance as Fresh Strategy Sales Spark Renewed Criticism

Aug 4, 2026By ClusterWire.news· AI-assisted news brief

Michael Saylor has pushed back on renewed criticism tied to Strategy’s recent Bitcoin selling activity, responding to backlash that revisits his well-known “Never Sell Your Bitcoin” messaging. In a post on X, he defended his position amid the discussion, according to reports summarizing his comments [1].

Separately, Saylor reiterated that he has not sold any Bitcoin from his personal holdings. Multiple outlets report his statement that he has “never sold a single satoshi” of personal Bitcoin, reinforcing his long-term bullish posture toward the asset [2] [3].

Other coverage also describes activity associated with Strategy, including claims that Strategy has resumed Bitcoin sales and mentions an amount of BTC cited in the reporting. The reports frame the renewed Saylor-related debate around whether the “never sell” stance applies in practice [4].

Saylor’s comments and reiterated “never sold” claim are being circulated alongside ongoing coverage of Strategy-linked BTC sales, keeping the “Never Sell Your Bitcoin” debate in focus [1] [2] [4] [3].
