The company argued that digital asset treasuries are operating companies and that MSCI indexes include businesses with a single-asset focus. Strategy, the largest Bitcoin treasury company, submitted feedback to index company MSCI on Wednesday about the proposed policy change that would exclude digital asset treasury companies holding 50% or more in crypto on their balance sheets from stock market index inclusion. Digital asset treasury companies are operating companies that can actively adjust their businesses, according to the letter, which cited Strategy’s Bitcoin-backed credit instruments as an example. The proposed policy change would bias the MSCI against crypto as an asset class, instead of the index company acting as a neutral arbiter, the letter said. Read more

On Dec. 8, Strategy revealed that it acquired 10,624 BTC last week for $962.7 million, its largest weekly outlay since July.

Strategy CEO Phong Le said his firm raised 21 months of dividend runway in just eight days to head off investor unease. Strategy CEO Phong Le said part of the reason for establishing a $1.44 billion USD reserve was to alleviate investor concerns over the company’s health amid a Bitcoin slump.  “We’re very much are a part of the crypto ecosystem and Bitcoin ecosystem. Which is why we decided a couple of weeks ago to start raising capital and putting US dollars on our balance sheet to get rid of this FUD,” said Le during CNBC’s Power Lunch on Friday. On Monday, Strategy announced the $1.44 billion US dollar reserve, funded through a stock sale. The reserve is intended to maintain an amount sufficient to cover at least 12 months of dividends, and will eventually expand to cover a runway of 24 months, the firm said. Read more

US-based financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald slashed its price target on Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin-heavy company, Strategy, but kept a bullish stance on the cryptocurrency’s long-term upside, downplaying fears of forced liquidation, according to the Financial Times.

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, is considering a pivot that would fundamentally alter the risk profile of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin treasury. For a decade, the company sold Wall Street on a singular thesis: it was a digital vault, offering unencumbered exposure to Bitcoin without the risks of custody or counterparty risk. That stand is changing […] The post Strategy’s yield hunt inadvertently helps the very hedge funds looking to short its Bitcoin premium appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Strategy is urging MSCI to retain MSTR in its indexes, despite raising its Bitcoin holdings to 650,000 BTC as it has lowered its 2025 targets. Michael Saylor’s Strategy is not giving up on efforts to keep its common A stock (MSTR) part of the MSCI indexes after the stock entered the MSCI World Index during the Bitcoin rally in 2024. Amid MSCI Global Standard Indexes holding consultations on whether to delete MSTR and other digital asset treasuries (DATs) from its indexes, Strategy’s Saylor said the company is communicating with the index provider about the issue, Reuters reported on Wednesday. “We’re engaging in that process,” the Strategy founder said, adding that he “was not sure” about the accuracy of JPMorgan’s reported estimations that a potential exclusion from the MSCI could trigger $2.8 billion of outflows.

A clear look at Strategy’s Bitcoin model, the conditions that could trigger sales and how to understand future updates within the proper context. Strategy is the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with roughly 650,000 BTC on its balance sheet. The company’s model hinges on raising capital and converting it into BTC while keeping its market-cap-to-Bitcoin value (mNAV) above 1. CEO Phong Le has described any Bitcoin sale as a “last resort” option that would be considered only if mNAV drops below 1 and access to new capital meaningfully deteriorates. Read more

On Dec. 1, the Tysons Corner-based firm revealed that it was prioritizing a $1.44 billion cash reserve and providing investors with detailed parameters for potential asset sales. This represents a pragmatic […] The post Strategy new ‘last resort’ to sell Bitcoin could trigger on 15% dip – sets $1.4B cash reserve contingency appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Strategy’s 649,870 BTC stash implies a value 78% above MSTR’s price, flagging a rare historical undervaluation zone.

Strategy funded a new reserve from stock sales to cover at least 12 months of dividends as it boosts its Bitcoin stash to 650,000 coins amid market volatility. Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest public Bitcoin holder, is creating a $1.44 billion US dollar reserve to support dividend payments on its preferred stock and interest on its outstanding debt.

Strategy CEO Phong Le says Bitcoin would only be sold if the company’s stock falls below net asset value and funding options disappear, calling it a financial decision. Strategy would consider selling Bitcoin only if its stock falls below net asset value and the company loses access to fresh capital, CEO Phong Le said in a recent interview. Le told the What Bitcoin Did show that if Strategy’s multiple to net asset value (mNAV) were to slip under one and financing options dry up, unloading Bitcoin becomes “mathematically” justified to protect what he calls “Bitcoin yield per share.” However, he noted that the move would be a last resort, not a policy shift. “I would not want to be the company that sells Bitcoin,” he said, adding that financial discipline has to override emotion when markets turn hostile.

Phong Le says Strategy has no near-term debt maturity risk and plans to continue using convertibles and equity to grow its bitcoin position over time.

The financial services giant has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a leveraged BTC financial product. Members of the Bitcoin community and supporters of Strategy, the largest corporate holder of BTC, are criticizing JPMorgan’s proposed Bitcoin-backed notes, accusing the bank of spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about Strategy and other crypto treasury firms. JPMorgan’s notes are a leveraged investment product tied to the price of Bitcoin (BTC). The product tracks BTC but amplifies the outcome, giving holders 1.5 times the gains — or the losses — through December 2028. The notes are slated for a December 2025 launch, according to an SEC filing.  The move drew sharp criticism from the Bitcoin community, with many saying that JPMorgan is now a direct competitor to BTC treasury companies and has an incentive to marginalize companies like Strategy to promote its own structured financial product.

Strategy said it has a 70-year dividend runway even after Bitcoin’s slide, rolling out a new credit rating metric to ease fears over DAT liquidation risks. Michael Saylor’s Strategy is attempting to calm investor concerns about its balance sheet after the recent Bitcoin market downturn and a sharp pullback in digital asset treasury (DAT) stocks. Strategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin (BTC) holder, has rolled out a new credit rating dashboard based on the company’s preferred stock notional value, and claims to have another 70 years’ worth of dividend payment runway to service its debt, even if Bitcoin’s price remains flat. “If $BTC drops to our $74K average cost basis, we still have 5.9x assets to convertible debt, which we refer to as the BTC Rating of our debt. At $25K BTC, it would be 2.0x,” said Strategy in a Tuesday X post. Read more

Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) spent 2025 building the largest corporate Bitcoin reserve the public markets have ever financed, but the scale of that ambition ended up colliding with the logic of its own stock.

Despite a steep drop in its share price, Strategy’s Bitcoin stack is in the green and it continues to outperform top tech equities over time. Update Nov. 24, 1:20 pm UTC: This article has been updated to add comments from Kyle Rodda, senior market analyst at Capital.com. Bitcoin investor Strategy is facing a rough stretch this year, prompting speculation that its high-conviction Bitcoin play is coming undone. A look beyond the one-year chart tells a different story.

The stock traded near $300 in October, before dropping to about $170 at the time of writing. Read more

The tension erupted following news that Strategy and other crypto treasury companies would likely be excluded from major market indexes. The backlash against financial services company JP Morgan from the Bitcoin (BTC) community and supporters of BTC treasury company Strategy continued to swell on Sunday as calls to “boycott” JP Morgan grew. The anger from the Bitcoin community followed news that the MSCI, formerly Morgan Stanley Capital International, an index company that sets criteria for index inclusion, is likely to exclude crypto treasury companies from its indexes in January 2026. JP Morgan shared the MSCI news in a research note. “I just pulled $20 million from Chase and suing them for credit card malfeasance,” real estate investor and Bitcoin advocate Grant Cardone said in response to a call to boycott the financial services giant.

Strategy remains poised for an S&P 500 inclusion in 2025, as the world’s largest Bitcoin holder is unlikely to have to liquidate its holdings to service its debt. The recent crypto market correction has reignited questions about the durability of corporate Bitcoin treasury plays, but Matrixport researchers say the largest of them, Strategy, still appears on track for possible S&P 500 inclusion. Despite recurring doubts about whether Strategy’s business model can withstand deep drawdowns, analysts argue that a forced, large-scale liquidation by the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin (BTC) holder is not a “near-term risk,” according to a Wednesday research report by Matrixport. Instead, the real pressure from the recent correction is on the stockholders who bought the stock at an inflated net asset value (NAV), who are currently suffering the impact of the company’s NAV compression.
