Traders and on-chain analysts spotted MicroStrategy wallets moving BTC to Coinbase Prime days earlier, sparking intense speculation.
Arkham Intelligence and community trackers highlighted the unusual activity, which fueled a Polymarket bet on whether any sale would occur by May 31.

The last time MicroStrategy sold Bitcoin was in December 2022, when they disposed 704 BTC for tax-loss harvesting before repurchasing more of the pioneer crypto two days later.
Details from the latest filing, showing last week’s Bitcoin sales include:
Bitcoin traded near $72,000–$74,000 around the period, meaning MicroStrategy sold at a premium to recent levels.
The sale represents a tiny fraction (<0.004%) of holdings but marks a shift from pure accumulation.
MicroStrategy has aggressively grown its treasury via ATM equity and preferred stock raises, often buying thousands of BTC weekly.
This disciplined approach, selling selectively while replenishing via capital markets, aligns with executive comments on proactive treasury management.
Preferred dividends and debt service remain key priorities, backed by the dedicated USD reserve.
With Bitcoin volatility persisting and corporate treasuries under scrutiny, any larger sales or accelerated buys could influence sentiment.
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin-per-share metric and yield targets will likely remain central to its narrative as it balances growth, obligations, and long-term conviction in Bitcoin.
