Strategy Inc., the largest corporate Bitcoin holder with 843,738 BTC, plans to raise over $80 billion in 2026 to buy more Bitcoin, quadrupling last year's capital raising. CEO Phong Le signals a shift from the previous 'never sell' policy, indicating Bitcoin might be sold if it benefits shareholders more than issuing new equity. This aggressive accumulation could tighten Bitcoin supply and amplify market impact, making Strategy's stock a leveraged bet on Bitcoin's price movements. The company also aims to build cash reserves for operational needs, including preferred dividends.
