Key Takeaways
On June 14, Michael Saylor shared his signature “Orange Dots” chart, signaling Strategy may announce another Bitcoin acquisition soon.
CEO Phong Le clarified that the recent 32 BTC sale was conducted to test internal processes, not due to liquidity concerns.
The company currently possesses 845,256 BTC valued at roughly $54.36 billion following a 1,550 BTC purchase for $101.3 million during the June 1–7 period.
According to Le, a mandatory Bitcoin liquidation represents an “edge case” scenario connected to $3.5 billion in preferred obligations maturing in 2028.
Saylor launched the CEBE BPS measurement tool to provide investors with a clearer view of Bitcoin exposure after factoring in debt and preferred equity.
On June 14, Michael Saylor took to X to share his iconic “Orange Dots” visualization with a simple message: “Still adding dots.” For those tracking Strategy’s movements, this cryptic post serves as an unofficial signal that another Bitcoin purchase may be imminent.
When a community member questioned whether this represented “delusion or conviction,” Saylor’s single-word response was decisive: “Conviction.” The crypto community now widely anticipates that Strategy will announce a fresh Bitcoin acquisition within days.
Strategy’s most recent Bitcoin purchase occurred during the June 1–7 window, acquiring 1,550 BTC for approximately $101.3 million at an average cost of about $65,332 per bitcoin. This transaction brought the company’s total reserves to 845,256 BTC, presently worth approximately $54.36 billion.

Following this acquisition, Strategy also increased its U.S. dollar holdings to $1 billion, representing a $100 million increase from previous levels.
Prior to this major purchase, Strategy executed a smaller and more unexpected transaction. Between May 26 and May 31, the firm liquidated 32 BTC for roughly $2.5 million at an average price of $77,135 per coin.
This disposal sparked considerable discussion among investors. The SEC disclosure indicated that proceeds would likely support preferred stock distributions, prompting speculation about whether Strategy might be turning to its Bitcoin reserves to generate operating cash.
Company Leadership Addresses Liquidation Concerns
Strategy CEO Phong Le swiftly addressed these concerns. During a June 13 interview, Le characterized the 32 BTC transaction as a procedural test rather than a liquidity-driven decision.
He explained that the move helped “inoculate the market” to the concept of modest Bitcoin sales while simultaneously allowing the organization to validate its internal selling mechanisms. Le also highlighted that the transaction generated tax losses useful for offsetting future tax liabilities.
Le emphasized clearly: Strategy maintains multiple funding pathways for capital requirements, including equity offerings and preferred stock instruments. Bitcoin liquidation is not the primary option.
He further stated that the company would employ analytical reasoning, not ideological positions, in future choices. Should selling Bitcoin enhance Bitcoin per share for common stockholders more effectively than issuing equity, Strategy might pursue that approach. Otherwise, alternative methods would prevail.
Circumstances That Could Trigger Bitcoin Sales
Le outlined the specific circumstances under which a required sale might become necessary. Strategy faces approximately $3.5 billion in preferred obligations coming due in 2028. Should Bitcoin experience significant value deterioration while the stock price remains depressed, the firm could liquidate BTC to satisfy these commitments.
However, he characterized this possibility as an “edge case” rather than a probable outcome. Refinancing these obligations or converting them to equity represent viable alternatives.
Meanwhile, Saylor has been advocating for a fresh approach to evaluating Strategy’s Bitcoin position. He unveiled CEBE BPS, or Common Equity Bitcoin Exposure BPS, as the prudent risk assessment metric.
While Bitcoin Per Share monitors common equity expansion, CEBE BPS incorporates debt and preferred stock claims that take precedence over common shareholders. The differential between these two measurements can expand as Strategy accumulates additional senior obligations on its balance sheet.
