Debt Buyback Reduces Convertible Notes

Strategy completed the repurchase of $1.5 billion in 2029 convertible senior notes. The company paid about $1.38 billion in cash for the repurchase. Therefore, it retired the notes at an estimated 8% discount to par.

The transaction reduced the total outstanding convertible notes from $8.2 billion to $6.7 billion. Strategy said the move generated BTC Yield of 0.7% during the transaction period. It also reported BTC Gain of 4,391 bitcoin and BTC dollar gain of $333 million.

Year-to-date, Strategy reported a BTC Yield of 13.3%. The company also posted BTC Gain of 89,378 bitcoin and BTC dollar gain of $6.8 billion. These figures reflect its internal bitcoin performance metrics tied to common share exposure.

Cash Reserve Falls as Strategy Plans Rebuild

Strategy reported a USD Reserve balance of $871 million as of May 25, 2026. The company created the reserve in December 2025 for dividend and debt-related payments. The latest note repurchase used cash and reduced available reserves.

The firm said it plans to rebuild the reserve over time. It may use Digital Capital, Digital Credit, and Digital Equity sales depending on market conditions. Besides, management framed the reserve as part of its preferred stock and debt support structure.

Strategy also said it expects preferred equity distributions to qualify as return of capital. This view depends on its expectations around earnings and profits for tax purposes. Meanwhile, the company warned that future changes could affect tax treatment.
