Strategy sold 1,638 BTC for roughly $105 million, cutting its Bitcoin treasury to 842,138 BTC, according to reporting dated August 3, 2026. The move marks a reduction rather than another purchase for the company long known for accumulating Bitcoin.
Strategy’s Bitcoin Sale Reduced Its Treasury by 1,638 BTC
The transaction was reported on August 3, 2026, when Reuters reported the 1,638 BTC sale for approximately $105 million. For related coverage, see Strategy Posts $8.22B Quarterly Loss as Bitcoin Decline Hits Results.
The sale stands out because Strategy has historically been a net buyer of Bitcoin rather than a seller. A disposal of this size represents a departure from that pattern, though the underlying details were disclosed through a corporate filing submitted to the SEC the same day.

Holdings Fell to 842,138 BTC After the Transaction
Following the sale, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings stood at 842,138 BTC, the figure the company reports on its treasury page. For related coverage, see Coldcard Vulnerability Enables Bitcoin Theft: What to Know.
That total reflects the treasury’s size after the disposal, keeping a clean line between the amount sold and the amount still held. The remaining balance leaves Strategy among the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin even after trimming its position.

Why the Reduction Matters for Bitcoin Treasury Watchers
Strategy remains one of the most closely watched corporate Bitcoin holders, so any change to its balance draws attention from investors tracking institutional demand. The company’s treasury moves are frequently read as a signal about corporate appetite for the asset.
Even after the sale, its holdings remain substantial, meaning the reduction does not materially change Strategy’s standing as a major Bitcoin holder. The company’s Bitcoin position has also weighed on recent results, as seen when Strategy posted an $8.22 billion quarterly loss tied to a decline in Bitcoin’s value.
No confirmed market reaction data was available to accompany this sale, so any read on price impact would be speculative. The broader trend of firms building Bitcoin treasuries continues, with American Bitcoin raising its BTC holdings 14% even while reporting a quarterly loss.
