Michael Saylor Reveals When He Plans to Sell Bitcoin

Michael Saylor, one of the most influential figures in the cryptocurrency world, shared MicroStrategy’s critical shifts in its Bitcoin strategy and future vision in an exclusive interview at the Consensus 2026 conference in Miami.

Saylor, known for years for his motto “Never sell your Bitcoins,” stated that the company’s 818,000 Bitcoins are completely “free.” He made this striking statement, explaining that not using this massive liquidity would harm the company’s value, which is represented by this asset at 98%.

“If we say we will never take advantage of this liquidity, we would be diminishing the asset’s value. We could sell 20 basis points (0.2%) of our Bitcoin holdings in a month; however, we would likely buy five or ten times more Bitcoin in the same month.”

Saylor argued that this was not a “sale” but a “mechanical operation,” stating that their goal was to receive 10 new Bitcoins for every 1 Bitcoin sold.

One of the most striking points Saylor made in the interview was about “STRECH,” a digital lending instrument developed by MicroStrategy that offers an annual dividend yield of around 11.5%. Saylor described Bitcoin as “digital capital” and this new product as “digital credit.”

The renowned CEO stated that they have isolated Bitcoin’s volatility with this system, offering “a bank account paying 11-12% interest” for investors seeking low-risk returns, such as retirees and institutional treasury managers.

Saylor reiterated his unwavering confidence in the Bitcoin price, stating that they would continue buying regardless of the price.

“I will continue to buy Bitcoin at its peak forever. I will be happy buying it at $60,000, $120,000, or even $16 million. The market will determine the price, and we will just keep accumulating.”
