Strategy Sells 1,638 Bitcoin to Fund STRC Dividends and Buybacks

The transaction signals a shift from steady accumulation to active capital‑structure management that could bring further Bitcoin monetization.

Overview

  • Company filings show Strategy sold 1,638 BTC between July 27 and Aug. 2, raising about $104.7 million that the firm says was split to pay preferred dividends and to repurchase STRC shares.
  • Strategy reported holding 842,138 BTC and a U.S. dollar reserve near $4.0 billion after the transactions, with equity ATM issuances also used this quarter to raise cash.
  • The BTC sold averaged roughly $63,957 per coin, which is materially below Strategy’s aggregate purchase price near $75,419 and means the company realized losses on those coins.
  • On‑chain analytics flagged a separate 1,030 BTC transfer linked to a Strategy wallet on Aug. 5 but the company has not confirmed that the movement was a sale.
  • The board approved a June Digital Credit Capital Framework that allows conditional monetization to cover dividends, reserves, or repurchases and markets are watching whether STRC’s below‑par trading and the 12% dividend rate force more sales.
