description: "Michael Saylor's recent tax strategy mirrors a previous move by Strategy, which sold 704 BTC in December 2022 to realize tax losses and then quickly repurchased 810 BTC. This tactic aimed to offset capital gains and secure tax benefits. As Bitcoin fell 23% in Q1 2026, Strategy reported a $12.54 billion unrealized loss and established a $2.2 billion deferred tax asset to mitigate future gains."
