Strategy records $102M loss selling Bitcoin below cost to fund dividends and buybacks in 2026

Strategy has realized over $102 million in losses from selling Bitcoin below its average purchase price in 2026 to meet dividend and buyback obligations. The company still holds about 840,000 BTC with unrealized losses near $10.6 billion due to Bitcoin prices staying below its cost basis. Despite losses, Strategy prefers selling Bitcoin over issuing new shares as its stock trades below net asset value. The firm’s preferred-stock dividend obligations have surged to $1.2 billion annually, pressuring it to continue monetizing its Bitcoin holdings while also making smaller purchases to manage liquidity. Investors are watching closely as the company’s stock has dropped nearly 40% this year amid ongoing sales and significant unrealized losses.
