Strategy Announced $2.55 Billion Reserve Shield and Bitcoin Monetization Program on June 29
Strategy said June 29 that it adopted a Digital Credit Capital Framework to strengthen preferred securities, improve liquidity, preserve long-term bitcoin exposure and support shareholder value. The plan includes a USD reserve policy, STRC dividend changes, Digital Credit Securities repurchases, MSTR buybacks and a BTC monetization program.
The BTC monetization program allows bitcoin sales to build reserves, fund or replenish dividends and interest payments, or support repurchases. Strategy said it is not required to sell bitcoin. Any sale depends on market conditions, liquidity needs, taxes, accounting, legal rules and management's view of shareholder value.
Saylor stated: 'Strategy remains committed to bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset.' The executive chairman added that Digital Credit needs liquidity, discipline and active capital management, and that the framework is meant to improve credit quality, lower preferred dividend costs when beneficial, and preserve Strategy's long-term bitcoin exposure.
The company reported about $2.55 billion in USD reserves as of July 5, equal to roughly 17.4 months of expected preferred dividends and interest expense. With $1.25 billion in board-authorized BTC monetization capacity, total liquidity coverage rises to about $3.80 billion, or 25.9 months.
