Fact Check
The evidence provided strongly and consistently supports the statement that Michael Saylor has publicly stated MicroStrategy's strategy is not to sell its Bitcoin. The highest authority sources, Yahoo Finance and MarketWatch, are explicit on this point. Yahoo Finance describes Saylor's well-known 'buy-and-never-sell attitude' toward Bitcoin, while the MarketWatch source directly attributes the policy of 'don't ever sell your bitcoin' to the company and a specific 2020 statement to Saylor that the company would 'never sell $BTC.' The lower-authority sources, including other Facebook pages and a Reddit thread, corroborate this narrative, indicating that the 'never sell' strategy is a widely understood public position. There are no contradictions among the provided sources. The consistency across all sources, from high-authority financial news outlets to social media discussions, builds a very strong case for the statement's truthfulness.
Summary
Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor dismissed speculation about forced Bitcoin sales, confirming continued quarterly Bitcoin purchases. The company recently acquired 1,142 BTC for $90 million, bringing total holdings to 714,644 BTC at an average purchase price of $76,056. This move reinforces Strategy’s commitment to maintaining and expanding its Bitcoin reserves as part of its corporate treasury strategy.
