More to Strategy Than Just Bitcoin: Phong Le



Strategy CEO Phong Le believes there is more to the company than the Bitcoin (BTC) on its balance sheet. Le stressed that the company’s enterprise business model remains a key part of operations after it posted its strongest financial quarter in a decade.

Enterprise Software Remains a Core Part


Le believes that its enterprise software business remains a crucial part of the company’s long-term plans. The software business serves over 3,000 customers and 500,000 active users, along with Fortune 500 companies, leading banks, healthcare companies, retailers, and government agencies.

According to Le, the software side of Strategy’s business, comprising engineers, enterprise customers, cloud teams, compliance systems, and global operations, gives the company an edge over other digital asset firms. However, Le’s arguments can only hold if the software side of Strategy’s business continues growing while competing with its Bitcoin strategy for investor attention.

Record Financial Quarter


Le highlighted Strategy’s stellar Q1 2026 performance to back his argument. The Bitcoin treasury company reported $124.3 million in total Q1 2026 revenue, up 12% from $111.1 million a year earlier. Strategy also reported $83.4 million in gross profit with a 67.1% gross margin. Le stated that Q1 2026 was the company’s strongest quarter in over a decade, supported by a 12% revenue growth and a 59% growth in cloud revenue. Controllable margin increased by 27%, helping Strategy fund its Bitcoin operations.

Bitcoin Strategy Under Scrutiny


Strategy’s Bitcoin strategy has come under intense scrutiny in recent months as debt and losses mount. The company reported a $12.54 billion net loss, significantly higher than the $4.22 billion loss in the same period last year. Strategy raised over $25 billion in 2025 to fund its Bitcoin operations. Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor recently said during an earnings call that the company could strategically sell some of its Bitcoin holdings to fund dividend obligations. Saylor’s comments have worried investors about the impact of such a move on the asset’s price.

Le sought to calm market jitters, clarifying that the company will sell BTC only in specific cases, adding that it will sell a small portion of its holdings to pay dividends on its Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) and to offset taxes. The STRC pays 11.5% dividend to holders. Strategy currently holds 818,334 BTC, valued at around $66 billion.

Ethereum Foundation closes third OTC sale, moves 10,000 ETH to BitMine

The Ethereum Foundation has completed a third over-the-counter sale of ETH to BitMine Immersion Technologies, offloading 10,000 ETH at an average of $2,292 per coin — roughly $22.9 million. The move continues a pattern of regular Foundation exits into a single counterparty, with the latest transaction following a similar 10,000 ETH sale completed just a week earlier at $2,387 per ETH. In total, the Foundation has moved about $47 million worth of ETH to BitMine over the past week, according to an official post on X. The Foundation said the proceeds will support its core operations and activities, including protocol research and development, ecosystem development, and community grant funding. The disclosure comes after the Foundation unstaked 17,035 ETH last week, worth about $40 million, a move that appears to undercut a previously stated target of reaching 70,000 ETH staked. The evolution of the Foundation’s treasury activities has kept market observers watching how the ETH reserve is ...
