But the timing of the development, i.e. during a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/traders-push-bitcoin-back-above-73000-after-352m-liquidation-sweep\/\">weeklong bitcoin slide<\/a>, has been enough to lift the odds of a Strategy <span>bitcoin<\/span> sale before Dec. 31, to 84% on the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">decentralized <span>prediction market<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> Polymarket.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight:400\">A Dividend Bind, Not Just a Transfer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The deposit landed as Strategy faces fresh scrutiny over how it is financed, as Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer at digital-asset manager Arca, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jdorman81\/status\/2060063924582830127\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote on May 28<\/a> that the MSTR story had \u201cgotten out of hand,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">pointing to roughly $15 billion in outstanding <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">perpetual preferred stock<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> that carries about $1.5 billion in annual dividend obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Those preferred shares, issued under tickers such as STRK, STRF, STRD, and STRC, were sold aggressively on expectations of a major <span>bitcoin<\/span> rally, Dorman argued. The warning lands against a jittery backdrop, given that U.S. spot <span>bitcoin<\/span> exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have bled cash for days, and <span>bitcoin<\/span> has slipped well below its all-time high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Strategy has met every distribution so far, paying out hundreds of millions of dollars across more than 20 consecutive payments since early 2025. The open question is what happens if <span>bitcoin<\/span> keeps falling and dividend coverage tightens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Why a Sale Would Sting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Strategy\u2019s stockpile <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/strategy-cuts-1-5b-in-convertible-debt-and-grows-bitcoin-holdings-to-843738-btc\/\">stood at 843,738 <\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> earlier this week, by far the largest of any public company. A forced sale from that position would not only dent the firm\u2019s own balance sheet; it could add heavy selling pressure to a market already on the back foot, hammering the price of the very asset that underpins Strategy\u2019s equity story. Dorman framed it as a three-sided \u201cbind\u201d between the company, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a>, and preferred shareholders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Saylor has fueled the debate himself since, in recent weeks, the chairman has floated selling a fraction of the stack to help service dividends, a striking shift for an executive who built his reputation on a \u201cnever sell\u201d ethos and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/saylor-posts-back-to-work-signal-as-strategy-eyes-more-bitcoin-after-one-week-pause\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">near-weekly purchases<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">For now, the 411 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a> sitting in Coinbase Prime remains just a transfer, not a trade. Whether it marks the start of Strategy\u2019s first-ever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> sale or routine treasury housekeeping will likely hinge on the price action ahead and on how comfortably the company can keep covering its dividend bill. Traders, judging by Polymarket, are bracing for the former.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/strategy-moves-411-btc-coinbase-prime-polymarket-sell-odds-2026\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways The 411 BTC transfer is Strategy\u2019s first direct Coinbase Prime deposit since 2024, per Lookonchain.
