What to know:

  • Strategy (MSTR) has sold common stock to fund a $1.44 billion cash reserve to fund dividends on its preferred stock.
  • The company sizably cut its full-year profit and BTC yield targets given the sharp recent declines in bitcoin's price.
  • The company added modestly to bitcoin holdings last week, bringing its total stack to 650,000 coins.

Facing questions from critics about its ability to fund dividends on its various classes of preferred stock, Strategy (MSTR) and its Executive Chairman Michael Saylor early Monday announced the formation of $1.44 billion U.S. dollar reserve.

The reserve was funded via the sales last week of common stock and the company initially intends to keep enough money in the reserve to fund at least twelve months of dividends, according to a press release. Strategy further intends to add to the reserve with the ultimate goal of covering 24 months or more of dividends.

CEO Phong Le noted the reserve currently covers 21 months of dividends.

New targets

Given the reality of the recent plunge in bitcoin BTC$85,807.64 prices (down another 5% to $86,000 on Monday morning) against company expectations for $150,000 at year-end, Strategy also adjusted its full-year profit and bitcoin yield targets.

Now assuming a year-end price range of $85,000-$110,000, Strategy is guiding to a full-year net income ranging from a loss of $5.5 billion to gain of $6.3 billion.

The so-called bitcoin yield target has been cut to a range of 22%-26% versus the previous target of 30%.

The full-year bitcoin dollar gain target has been cut to $8.4 billion to $12.8 billion against the previous target of $20 billion.

Fresh bitcoin buys

The company also announced modest new bitcoin buys of 130 coins for $11.7 million, or $89,860 per BTC. That brings Strategy's stack to 650,000 BTC acquired for $48.38 billion, or $74,436 per coin.

The purchase was funded via last week's sales of 8.214 million shares of common stock, which raised $1.478 billion. The bulk of that money went to fund the previously mentioned dollar reserve.

MSTR shares are lower by 4.4% in premarket trading alongside bitcoin's steep overnight price decline.

This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks

The post This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. United States Representative Cloe Fields has seen his stake in Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock return over 200% in just a matter of weeks. According to congressional trade filings, the lawmaker purchased a stake in the online real estate company on July 21, 2025, investing between $1,001 and $15,000. At the time, the stock was trading around $2 and had been largely stagnant for months.

OPEN’s stock rally Notably, Opendoor’s rally has been fueled by major corporate shifts and market speculation. For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit.  Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter. Beyond leadership changes, Opendoor’s surge has taken on meme-stock characteristics. In this case, retail investors piled in as shares climbed, while short sellers scrambled to cover, pushing prices higher.  However, the stock is still not without challenges, where its iBuying model is untested at scale, margins are thin, and debt tied to…
