Wall Street anticipates a significant loss in Strategy’s upcoming earnings report, with analysts projecting a loss of $18.98 per share. This is a downturn compared to the previous year's loss of $16.49. The report is set for release on Tuesday, May 3, 2026, amid heightened scrutiny of the company’s financial strategies.
In preparation for this report, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced a temporary halt on Bitcoin purchases, stating “No buys this week” in a recent post on X. This decision follows Strategy's recent acquisition of 3,273 BTC for $255 million, which occurred between April 20 and 26. The company currently holds 818,334 BTC at an average purchase price of $77,906 per coin.
Strategy's previous Bitcoin purchases, along with inflows from US spot price exchange-traded funds, contributed to a 12% increase in Bitcoin's price in April, which was last recorded at approximately $78,787.08. Concerns regarding the sustainability of the STRC dividend, yielding 11.5%, have been echoed by critics, including economist Peter Schiff, who continues to question the company's financial structure.
Saylor is scheduled to speak at the Consensus industry conference in Miami Beach, Florida, on Wednesday.
