Saylor Defends Strategy’s 32-Bitcoin Sale as Separate From ‘Never Sell’ Advice
Michael Saylor said at BTC Prague that Strategy’s sale of 32 Bitcoin did not contradict his long-running advice that holders should never sell the token. Saylor said the message was directed at individuals and that he had never said the company would not sell its Bitcoin, adding that he would not “destroy a hundred billion dollar company” to avoid a sale.
The comments draw a distinction between Saylor’s personal Bitcoin rhetoric and Strategy’s corporate treasury decisions. His explanation came after questions over whether the company’s sale was inconsistent with his earlier messaging.
