- Strategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has paused its crypto purchases ahead of its Q1 earnings report this Tuesday.
- The company holds 818,334 BTC with an average price of $77,906 per coin, slightly below the current market price.
- Wall Street analysts expect the company to report a quarterly loss per share of $18.98, mainly due to Bitcoin accounting.
- Some analysts are concerned about the sustainability of the company’s 11.5% dividend yield on its STRC preferred security.
On Sunday, May 3, 2026, Strategy‘s Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced a temporary halt to the company’s Bitcoin purchases ahead of its first-quarter earnings report, according to a post on X. This pause follows a late-April purchase of 3,273 Bitcoin for $255 million, as detailed in an SEC filing. Consequently, the Tysons Corner-based firm now holds 818,334 BTC at an average cost basis of $75,537.
The company’s recent acquisitions contributed to Bitcoin’s 12% price surge in April. Meanwhile, data shows BTC was trading near $78,787 on Sunday. However, analysts expect Tuesday’s earnings to reveal a loss of $18.98 per share.
Some market observers have raised concerns about the company’s financial structure. For instance, economist Peter Schiff repeated his allegation that the firm’s model resembles a “Ponzi scheme,” questioning its ability to sustain the STRC dividend. Similarly, a Seeking Alpha blogger noted that cash reserves are insufficient for two years of dividends, according to a recent post. Despite this, TipRanks shows a consensus “Strong Buy” rating for Strategy‘s stock.
