Strategy Sells 3,588 Bitcoin For $216M To Fund Dividend Payments

Strategy, the Bitcoin treasury powerhouse led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, announced on July 6, 2026, that it sold 3,588 BTC for approximately $216 million.

The proceeds will cover quarterly dividends on its suite of Digital Credit securities, including $STRF, $STRE, $STRK, $STRD, and the full June monthly dividend for $STRC.

The sale represents a roughly 0.4% fraction of its holdings while Strategy still maintains a substantial Bitcoin reserve of 843,775 BTC and holds $2.55 billion in USD cash reserves, as per latest 8–k filing with US SEC.

The transaction aligns with Strategy’s recently introduced Digital Credit Capital Framework, approved by the board. This framework permits selective Bitcoin sales up to $1.25 billion to support liquidity, dividend payments, share repurchases, and cash reserve building.

Bitcoin will evolve by changing less at the protocol layer and mattering more everywhere else.

The base layer will harden.
The capital markets will deepen.
Digital Credit will expand.

The world will build on Bitcoin. $BTC https://t.co/2ptwt4XJdu

Just hours before Strategy’s BTC sale announcement, Saylor shared a detailed, essay-length post on X outlining his vision for Bitcoin’s evolution over the next decade. In the post, he argued that Bitcoin’s greatest progress will come from changing less at the protocol layer while mattering more across capital markets, applications, and institutions.
