<p>Michael Saylor's Strategy has deposited 411.48 <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$BTC</a>, worth approximately $30.3 million, into Coinbase Prime, according to onchain analytics platform Lookonchain. <cite>A wallet tracked within the broader Strategy onchain footprint moved Bitcoin to Coinbase on May 29, immediately feeding debate across prediction markets and trading desks.</cite></p>
<p><cite>The transfer does not prove a sale. Large corporate holders can move assets for custody, collateral, rebalancing, operational routing, or exchange-related settlement without liquidating the position.</cite> Strategy has issued no official statement explaining the deposit.</p>
<p><cite>Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has previously acknowledged that eight of the top 10 publicly traded companies with Bitcoin on their balance sheets use Coinbase Prime</cite>, making the platform a standard choice for institutional custody rather than a signal of imminent selling.</p>
<h2 id="prediction-markets-price-in-an-84-chance-of-a-sale">Prediction Markets Price In an 84% Chance of a Sale</h2>
<p><cite>On Polymarket, traders priced the chance of Strategy selling any Bitcoin by the end of 2026 near 84%, with roughly $33 million in trading volume tied to the question.</cite> That marks a dramatic shift in sentiment. <cite>Polymarket had previously priced in just a 10% chance that the company would sell Bitcoin before the end of 2026, a probability that has since jumped to 84%.</cite></p>
<p>The backdrop matters. <cite>CEO Phong Le told analysts the company would consider selling Bitcoin to retire debt or boost its per-share Bitcoin metric whenever it proves accretive, after Strategy reported a net loss of $12.54 billion in Q1 2026, driven primarily by unrealized mark-to-market losses on its Bitcoin treasury position.</cite></p>
<p><cite>Strategy has been one of the largest corporate Bitcoin accumulators since 2020, using the digital asset as a primary vehicle for treasury management.</cite><cite>For four years, Michael Saylor's refrain was unambiguous: Strategy would never sell its Bitcoin.</cite> Whether the Coinbase deposit signals a change in that posture remains unclear, and no sale has been confirmed.</p>
