When Strategy (MSTR), the largest publicly traded company holding bitcoin, first floated the idea of selling its bitcoin stash to fund its dividend obligations during its recent earnings call, it raised concerns among investors and the crypto community.

However, executive chairman Michael Saylor sat down with CoinDesk senior analyst James Van Straten at Consensus in Miami to explain, in his view,why the announcement was "inconsequential."

As the firm expands from a bitcoin treasury company into a full-spectrum capital markets operation, in a wide-ranging conversation with CoinDesk, Saylor discussed the company's potential sale of bitcoin to fund dividends, the mechanics of its preferred stock (called Stretch or STRC), and what critics get wrong about its trading strategy.

This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity. This is the first part of a series of stories from CoinDesk's interview with Michael Saylor

Michael Saylor: It's a big nothing burger from an economic point of view. If we were to fund all of our dividends exclusively by selling bitcoin over the next year, we would buy 20 bitcoin for every one we sold. So it's no different than buying 20 bitcoin and selling no bitcoin. And then from a market point of view, bitcoin has somewhere between $20 and $50 billion of liquidity today. If we were to fund all of our dividends with bitcoin, you would be talking about maybe $3 million; it's immeasurable. It's really inconsequential.Saylor: We use two metrics. The first is $BTC yield. What's the benefit to the common equity shareholder? If there's no yield, it's equity neutral. If there's a negative yield, it's dilutive. If there's a positive yield, it's accretive. The second metric is credit: what is the impact on the balance sheet? Does it create more risk?

For example, if we used all of our dollars to buy back

MARA stock has fallen 16% over the last 12 months, but has begun to mount a return this year as it has focused on pivoting to build artificial intelligence data centers.

The company reported its first-quarter losses were largely attributed to unrealized losses in its 38,689 Bitcoin treasury as the cryptocurrency fell 23% during the quarter. MARA said it sold more than 15,100 Bitcoin worth $1.1 billion in the final week of March.

MARA said that Bitcoin mining remains the company’s “operational foundation,” even as it continues expanding into AI and high-performance computing to pursue additional revenue streams.

MARA is one of several US-based Bitcoin miners that have seen profits turn into losses as challenging mining conditions continue to weigh on the sector.

Rising tensions between the US and Iran are pushing global markets into uncertainty, yet Bitcoin continues to show surprising strength. As fears grow over instability in the Middle East and potential disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, investors are closely watching safe-haven and alternative assets. Bitcoin briefly climbed above $82,000 before stabilizing near the $81K range, signaling strong market confidence despite geopolitical pressure. 

Analysts say Bitcoin’s resilience comes from growing institutional demand, expectations of future Fed rate cuts, and increasing belief that crypto can hedge against traditional financial instability. While oil prices surged above $100 after fresh US-Iran tensions, BTC managed to avoid a major sell-off that normally follows global conflicts. 

However, volatility remains high. Traders are now focused on upcoming US inflation data and Federal Reserve policy signals, which could decide whether Bitcoin breaks toward $90K or faces another correction. The market is entering a critical phase where geopolitical risks and macroeconomic trends are moving crypto prices together.

Huma Finance legacy V1 contract on Polygon exploited for $101,400 USDC

A logic bug in Huma's legacy V1 Polygon credit pools let an attacker drain about $101,400 in $USDC, but its Solana-based PayFi V2 and PST token remain structurally unaffected.

Huma Finance has disclosed that its legacy V1 contracts on Polygon were exploited, with roughly $101,400 in $USDC and $USDC.e drained from old liquidity pools that were already in the process of being wound down. The team stressed that no user deposits on its current PayFi platform are at risk, Huma's PST token was not impacted, and its re-architected V2 system on Solana is structurally separate from the affected contracts.
