Key Takeaways
CryptoSlate reports Strategy's $250 Bitcoin-themed Air Jordans sold out within days, expanding its corporate identity into consumer merchandise.
According to CryptoSlate, Strategy’s $250 Bitcoin-themed Air Jordans sold out within days of their Sept. 4 launch, with all nine advertised sizes becoming unavailable by Sept. 8. The company did not disclose the total inventory offered or when supplies ran out.
Led by Michael Saylor, Strategy holds 845,050 BTC, which equals about 4.02% of Bitcoin’s total supply. The sneaker release extends the firm's Bitcoin identity beyond its balance sheet and securities business into consumer merchandise. The mid-top sneakers, inspired by the original Air Jordan 1, were sold alongside other items like a Bitcoin Strategy Game, a Strategy hoodie, and an organic cotton shirt.
While the merchandise capitalizes on the audience built around Strategy's Bitcoin strategy, Bitcoin was notably absent from the storefront's displayed payment methods. Instead, the online store listed conventional options such as American Express, Apple Pay, Mastercard, and Visa. Strategy has not announced a restock date, leaving it unclear if the sneakers were a limited drop or the beginning of recurring sales.
