JPMorgan: Strategy’s $1.7B Annual Dividend Load May Drive More Bitcoin Sales

JPMorgan said Strategy’s plan to cover about $1.7 billion in yearly dividend obligations could influence crypto markets in the second half of 2026. The bank pointed to Strategy’s sale of 32 BTC for roughly $2.5 million between May 26 and May 31—its first disclosed bitcoin sale since 2022—as a test of whether further disposals might be used to fund payouts.
