Strategy shares fall after selling $2.5 million in bitcoin, its first sale since 2022

Between May 26 and May 31, Strategy sold 32 coins for $2.5 million, and at an average of $77,135 per coin, according to a Monday filing. The sale comes after the company said it will pivot from Saylor's longstanding "never sell" strategy in favor of actively managing its balance sheet if it strengthens the company's financial position.
