Analysis: Strategy sold off its first large-scale BTC transaction in five years, but the market did not show excessive panic.
According to BlockBeats, on July 7th, Crypto Quant analyst Axel Adler Jr. reported that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) recently sold 3,588 BTC, worth approximately $216 million, marking the company's largest Bitcoin sale in history. However, the market did not experience a significant drop, with the BTC price remaining around $63,000. This is Strategy's first large-scale net sale since December 2022. The sale was completed in two batches: 1,363 BTC were sold between June 29th and 30th at an average price of approximately $59,256, generating $80.8 million; 2,225 BTC were sold between July 1st and 5th at an average price of approximately $60,773, generating $135.2 million, for a total of approximately $216 million. This sale is primarily intended to pay preferred stock obligations and replenish dollar reserves, and does not represent a change in Strategy's long-term Bitcoin strategy. The company currently holds approximately 843,775 BTC and approximately $2.55 billion in dollar reserves. This sale represents only about 0.4% of its holdings, indicating more liquidity management than a signal of divestment. From the derivatives market perspective, the news of Strategy's sale led to a significant cooling of sentiment in the Bitcoin futures market. The composite market index fell from the bullish zone of around 80 on July 6th to 32.6, entering the bearish zone, and at one point approached 20, indicating that leveraged funds began to shift towards a defensive stance. However, the Bitcoin price reacted only moderately, currently remaining above its 30-day fair value. The market tends to view this sale as a passive liquidity operation rather than a systematic exit from Bitcoin by Strategy. The market is currently in a "neutral to cautious" state, with relatively stable price performance, but derivatives positions have clearly weakened. If the overall market index rises back above 55, it may indicate a recovery in market risk appetite; if it remains below 45 for an extended period, it could further drag BTC down below its fair value.
Strategy reduced its Bitcoin holdings by 3,588 coins to approximately 843,800 coins.
PANews reported on July 6 that, according to Solid Intel, STRATEGY's Bitcoin holdings decreased by 3,588 BTC, equivalent to approximately $226 million at the current price, with the latest holdings at 843,775 BTC.
Strategy, holding 847,363 BTC, was advised to generate income through lending or options rather than selling BTC.
According to a research report published on July 3rd by Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Odaily Digital, Strategy should explore generating revenue from its BTC holdings rather than directly selling physical BTC. Strategy previously launched a five-part Digital Credit Capital Framework, including a dollar reserve policy, a revised STRC dividend policy, a $1 billion preferred stock buyback mandate, a $1 billion MSTR stock buyback mandate, and a BTC monetization plan, increasing the STRC annual dividend yield from 11.5% to 12%. Strategy currently holds 847,363 BTC and has raised over $1 billion through common stock sales, extending its cash coverage period to approximately 17 months. Thorn stated that Strategy could use a small portion of its BTC for conservative lending or options strategies, generating revenue while retaining most of its upside exposure. Strategy still faces preferred stock obligations and $6.7 billion in outstanding convertible debt maturing in 2027 and 2028. (Bitcoin.com News)
