Strategy builds $1.44B reserve to silence fears of forced Bitcoin selling
Strategy CEO Phong Le says the company’s new $1.44 billion USD reserve is designed to eliminate fears that it might need to sell Bitcoin during downturns.
In an interview Friday, Le explained that the firm—one of the world’s largest BTC holders—wants to neutralize “FUD” around its ability to pay dividends and service debt if Bitcoin or Strategy’s stock price declines, reports Cryptopolitan.
The reserve, raised in just over a week through a stock sale, covers at least 12 months of preferred dividends and interest payments, with plans to extend that runway to 24 months. Le said the strategy lets the company operate through volatility without touching its 650,000+ BTC, purchased at an average price of $87,000.
New reserve aims to strengthen market confidence, counter short-seller pressure
Le described the reserve as a direct response to narratives claiming Strategy might be forced to liquidate Bitcoin to stay solvent. “It’s really this FUD,” he said—adding that such speculation encouraged “short Bitcoin bets” targeting the company. The reserve, equal to 21 months of obligations, is meant to prove Strategy can still raise capital even in a downcycle.
Le reiterated they would only consider selling BTC if Strategy’s stock traded below net asset value and the firm lost access to external capital. The company also released a “BTC Credit” dashboard, asserting it now holds enough assets to fund dividends for more than 70 years. This dual-reserve approach ensures Strategy stays aligned with its long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy while weathering short-term turbulence.
Corporate treasuries gain influence as miners face margin pressure
Strategy’s move comes as Bitcoin miners struggle with higher production costs following recent halvings. With miner margins tightening and volatility rising, analysts say large corporate BTC treasuries are becoming stabilizing forces in the market. Strategy’s massive holdings and new risk-management posture—shifting from pure accumulation to structured balance-sheet planning—signal a new phase in Bitcoin’s institutional adoption.
As miners reduce net supply and short-term trading grows more erratic, institutional balance sheets, not block rewards, increasingly shape investor confidence. By insulating itself from liquidity risk, Strategy is positioning corporate Bitcoin ownership as a long-term, professionally managed asset class rather than a speculative bet.
