Strategy signals resumption of Bitcoin buys after brief pause around Q1 earnings report

Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, indicated a return to Bitcoin purchases after a one-week pause surrounding its May 5 Q1 2026 earnings report. The company revealed it might occasionally sell small amounts of Bitcoin to fund dividends, a shift from its previous hold-only approach. Strategy holds 818,334 BTC valued at about $66.15 billion, with CEO Phong Le assuring any sales would be minimal and unlikely to impact Bitcoin's market price, given the large daily trading volume. Market watchers expect an official announcement of new Bitcoin acquisitions soon, signaling continued confidence in the cryptocurrency despite the new dividend funding strategy.
