As Bitcoin faces downward pressure and market uncertainty grows, concerns surrounding companies tied to the crypto ecosystem have intensified. Responding to this environment, Strategy made a decisive move by establishing a substantial 1.44 billion USD cash reserve. According to CEO Phong Le, the initiative aims to reinforce investor confidence and dispel speculation regarding the firm’s ability to maintain its dividend commitments.
Addressing Dividend Concerns Before They Escalate
In an interview with CNBC, Phong Le explained the motivation behind raising such a large amount in a short period. He noted that recent market discussions, particularly on social platforms, had cast doubt on Strategy’s capacity to sustain its dividend payments during a period of Bitcoin weakness.
Le emphasized that these claims had also fueled the perception that the company might be forced to liquidate part of its Bitcoin holdings. He rejected this notion, stressing that Strategy had no immediate need to sell any assets. To quiet the growing uncertainty, the company raised the equivalent of 21 months’ worth of dividend obligations in only eight days. Management also revealed plans to extend this reserve to cover 24 months in the near future.
Bitcoin Sales Considered Only Under Exceptional Conditions
Although Strategy maintains sizable Bitcoin reserves, Le reiterated that selling these assets is not part of the firm’s operational plans. Such a step, he explained, would only be considered under rare circumstances—specifically if the company’s stock were to fall below its net asset value and access to fresh capital were no longer available. Until then, the firm intends to preserve its long-term Bitcoin strategy.
Demonstrating Long-Term Dividend Stability
Following the announcement, Strategy introduced a new “BTC Credit” dashboard to further reassure stakeholders. According to the company’s calculations, its current asset position could theoretically support dividend payments for more than 70 years.
This strategic move signals the firm’s intent to remain resilient through market cycles while strengthening trust in its financial stability and long-term vision.
