π΅οΈ Strategy CEO: Bitcoin Will Only Be Sold Under Two Conditions
On May 9, 2025, Strategy CEO Phong Le discussed the company's shift from a "never sell" approach to actively managing its Bitcoin holdings during an interview with CNBC.
Le emphasized a "math over ideology" strategy, stating that the company will sell Bitcoin only to pay dividends for STRC when it benefits "Bitcoin per share" more than issuing new equity, and for tax optimization, such as capturing or deferring tax gains and losses.

In an April 23 interview with When Shift Happens, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou explained that the company did not renew its Red Bull F1 sponsorship due to the declining commercial value and rising activation costs. He mentioned that maintaining the execution team could exceed the sponsorship fee, making renewal unlikely to break even. Zhou also highlighted issues with recurring guest invitations, which created "relationship management" challenges. Bybit is now seeking branding opportunities that offer better value.
