Saylor had said at the Bitcoin 2026 conference that any sale would be offset by larger purchases: \u201cEven if we were to sell one Bitcoin, we\u2019d be buying 10 to 20 more Bitcoin.\u201d Strategy currently holds 818,869 BTC, acquired at an average cost of approximately $75,537 per coin.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why this buyback matters<\/h2>\n<p>The 2029 notes were originally issued in November 2024 at a $3 billion notional size, with a conversion price of $672.40 per MSTR share. The current MSTR share price of approximately $183 sits far below that conversion threshold, meaning bondholders have little incentive to convert and are selling back at a discount instead.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy has been accumulating Bitcoin at pace throughout 2026, adding 535 BTC as recently as May 10. JPMorgan analysts have projected total Strategy Bitcoin purchases for 2026 could reach $30 billion. The buyback is part of a multi-year plan Saylor has described as \u201cequitizing\u201d the firm\u2019s $8.2 billion debt stack.<\/p>\n<p>As crypto.news reported, Strategy has generated 63,410 BTC in \u201cBitcoin Gain\u201d so far in 2026, worth roughly $5.1 billion at current prices. MSTR shares were down approximately 2% in pre-market trading alongside Bitcoin\u2019s pullback to around $80,400.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strategy bonds worth $1.5 billion are being repurchased as Michael Saylor\u2019s firm lists Bitcoin sales as a potential funding source.
