JPMorgan highlighted that Strategy Inc.'s need to fund $1.7 billion in annual dividends could influence the crypto market's second half of 2026. Strategy sold 32 BTC in late May, its first bitcoin sale since 2022, to cover preferred dividends, raising concerns about potential future sales. While the sale was small relative to its holdings, it marked a shift from the company's previous 'never sell' stance. JPMorgan also noted less than a 50% chance of the CLARITY Act passing this year, reducing regulatory clarity and potential market catalysts. The key question remains how Strategy will fund upcoming dividends—through dollar reserves, capital raises, or further bitcoin sales—which could impact market sentiment.
