Strategy Transfers 411 BTC to Coinbase Prime Amid Bitcoin Decline and Financing Scrutiny
Toasted just enough. A reliable bake, gently seasoned.
Summary
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) transferred 411.48 BTC (~$30.3M) to Coinbase Prime on May 29, its first direct deposit to an exchange-linked platform since 2024. The transfer occurred during a bitcoin decline, reviving speculation about a potential sale, though it could also reflect custody, collateral, or rebalancing.
