Phong Le, president and CEO of Strategy, who oversees both the enterprise analytics business and the corporate Bitcoin treasury operations, sold 3,299 shares of the company’s Class A common stock this week, according to a recent SEC filing.
The shares were sold at an average price of $138, generating more than $456,000 in proceeds.
Le also disclosed the acquisition of 7,320 MSTR shares through the exercise of restricted stock units.

Strategy ended Wednesday up 2% at $139. The stock slipped 2% at market opening on Thursday and has fallen 8% so far this year, per Yahoo Finance.
The Virginia-based software company is a dominant player in the Bitcoin market. It currently holds 762,099 BTC, valued at around $53 billion, and is on track to surpass BlackRock in holdings.
Performance-linked pay accounts for 93.6% of Le’s total compensation, meaning most of his earnings are tied directly to the company’s stock price and, by extension, Bitcoin’s price.
These sold shares appear to have originated as vested restricted stock units. Le purchased approximately 2,500 shares of Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock, known as STRC, just days earlier, on March 19, for a total outlay of roughly $250,000.
Selling common equity while simultaneously buying into a related security suggests portfolio rebalancing rather than a loss of confidence in the company.
Strategy plans to accelerate its Bitcoin accumulation strategy by increasing capital-raising through multiple at-the-market programs, totaling over $44 billion in potential stock and preferred equity sales.
Proceeds will fund both corporate operations and digital asset purchases, supporting the goal of owning one million Bitcoins by year’s end.
