Shares of Strategy (MSTR) snapped a nine-day losing streak on Monday, rebounding 12.6% to $92.68 after the Bitcoin-buying firm unveiled a new capital management framework. The move pared monthly losses and signaled that future Bitcoin sales would follow a formulaic approach, according to Yahoo Finance. The announcement came as investors had grown concerned over the company’s dwindling cash reserves.
Strategy, known for its massive Bitcoin holdings, typically begins each week by disclosing its latest Bitcoin purchases. Instead, the firm revealed that its USD Reserve had expanded to $2.55 billion, highlighting a new “BTC Monetization Program.” Under this framework, the company indicated it could generate up to $1.25 billion in proceeds by selling Bitcoin, strengthening its cash cushion to manage dividends and debt.
The framework also outlined conditions for share repurchases and issuance. Strategy said it may occasionally buy back common and preferred shares to capitalize on “market dislocations,” and would only issue common shares when the company is valued at a premium relative to its enterprise value. Additionally, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced the eighth dividend increase for Stretch (STRC), targeting an annual yield of 12% with semi-monthly payments.
STRC, Strategy’s preferred stock, rose 12.2% to $83.67 after falling to a record low of $71.25 last week. The product is designed to trade near its $100 par value, and when it does, Strategy issues more shares to purchase Bitcoin. The recovery in STRC helped stabilize investor sentiment, though the stock still traded below par.
Analyst Mark Palmer of Benchmark-StoneX described the framework as “robust” in a research note, reiterating a “Buy” rating and $570 price target. He called it a “direct, point-by-point answer to the concerns investors have been voicing,” and added that Strategy is now an active manager of both sides of its capital structure—a significant positive for shareholders.
Bitcoin traded around $60,200 on Monday, up 1.1% over the past day, according to CoinGecko. The digital asset had fallen as low as $58,200 last week amid the sell-off in Strategy’s stocks. Despite the rebound, Strategy’s common shares remained down nearly 42% from $149.93 over the past month, around the time it sold 32 Bitcoin for $2.5 million—its first sale since 2022.
Strategy’s Bitcoin stockpile remained unchanged at 847,363 BTC, valued at approximately $51 billion. The holding reflected about $13.1 billion in unrealized losses from the current market price. On the prediction market Myriad, traders placed a 15% chance that Strategy would hold over 1 million Bitcoin by year-end, up slightly from 14.5% a week ago. The framework provided clarity on future Bitcoin sales, but the company’s long-term outlook remains tied to the cryptocurrency’s performance.
