#StrategyEndsBuyTheDip #StrategyEndsBuyTheDip Strategy confirmed on its Q2 earnings call (late July) that it's formally ending its "buy every dip" philosophy — new capital will no longer go 100% to Bitcoin purchases. Instead, fundraising splits between BTC accumulation and other uses, including repurchasing its own discounted STRC preferred shares (Strategy bought back $25M worth at $86.53, a 13% discount to $100 par, since CEO Phong Le says cutting future dividend obligations is now an attractive use of capital). This caps months of escalating signals: Strategy's first-ever net BTC sale (32 coins, late May), a resumed buying spree days later to calm markets, then a genuine four-week buying freeze through July, and now $218.4M in cumulative 2026 sales under a formal "BTC Monetization Program." Holdings sit around 843,775-847,363 BTC depending on the exact date, with the company sitting on billions in unrealized losses as Bitcoin trades well below its ~$75,500 average cost basis. Reaction is split: crypto analysts question why Strategy would pull back on buying with BTC trading well below its ATH, while others warn the pause itself signals stress in the treasury model — if investors read this as weakening conviction rather than prudent balance-sheet management, MSTR shares could face further pressure. Polymarket separately prices a 63% chance of MSCI index delisting by year-end, which would force additional passive selling regardless of Strategy's own choices.
