Corporate Bitcoin Treasury Raised Cash 13% by Selling Some BTC for Dividends

Strategy, the largest company holding Bitcoin, sold around 3,600 BTC to raise cash for dividends, increasing its dollar reserves to $2.55 billion. This affects investors by showing the company is managing its Bitcoin holdings more flexibly while continuing to build its overall Bitcoin assets.
Strategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin treasury, has grown its dollar reserves 13% over the past three months to $2.55 billion.

CEO Phong Le posted the update on X July 8, covering the period from April 6 to July 6. The company held roughly $2.55 billion in cash as of the end of that window.

To build that war chest, Strategy did something it had avoided since 2022: sell Bitcoin. Earlier this month, the company offloaded about 3,600 BTC to raise funds for dividend payments and other corporate needs. That came after a smaller June sale of 32 Bitcoin – the first cracks in a nearly four-year freeze on reducing its BTC stack.

Even with those sales, Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings have grown. The company held 843,775 BTC as of July 6, up 10% from three months earlier. The net increase suggests that ongoing share or debt issuance – and now selective BTC sales – are part of a more flexible capital management approach.

The twin moves – raising cash while adding more Bitcoin – send a clear indicator: Strategy is not abandoning its core Bitcoin bet. But it is no longer treating its BTC holdings as strictly untouchable. Selling into strength to cover dividend obligations is a pragmatic shift, especially as the company’s market cap and Bitcoin stash have ballooned alongside BTC’s price.

Traders will watch for two things: the pace of future BTC sales and whether this quarter’s cash build is a one-off or a new rhythm. The company has not announced any change to its long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy. For now, Le’s numbers show a firm that is both adding to its core asset and balancing short-term liquidity needs.

The next quarterly filing, expected in early August, will give a fuller picture of how Strategy funded its cash growth – and whether the Bitcoin sales continue.
