Saylor’s Strategy Builds $1.44B Cash Reserve as Bitcoin Holdings Hit 650,000

  • Michael Saylor’s Strategy established a $1.44 billion US dollar reserve, funded by selling Class A common stock, to cover at least 21 months of dividends on preferred stock and outstanding debt interest.
  • The reserve is intended to complement its Bitcoin holdings, reassure creditors and shareholders, and help the company manage short-term market volatility.
  • Strategy simultaneously doubled down on its Bitcoin holdings, disclosing a purchase of 130 BTC, bringing its total stash to 650,000 BTC, representing roughly 3.1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy is creating a US$1.44 billion (AU$2.20 billion) reserve to help fund dividends on its preferred stock and interest on outstanding debt, while continuing to grow its Bitcoin holdings.

The company said the reserve is funded through sales of Class A common stock under its at-the-market offering program. It also stated that the goal is to keep enough cash to cover at least 12 months of dividends and ultimately extend that to 24 months or more. 

The reserve currently covers about 21 months of dividend payments and will serve as the primary source for future dividends and debt service.

This comes as the company recently doubled down on Bitcoin with a new US$50 million purchase (AU$77.4 million), despite investors’ concerns and MSTR stock falling about 50% from its peak.

Strategy Builds US$1.44 Billion Cash Reserve

The reserve represents about 2.2% of Strategy’s enterprise value, 2.8% of its equity value and 2.4% of the value of its Bitcoin holdings, according to a company update. Strategy said it raised the US$1.44 billion (AU$2.20 billion) in less than nine trading days by selling MSTR shares.

Alongside the announcement, Strategy disclosed it bought another 130 Bitcoin for US$11.7 million (AU$17.90 million), bringing its total to 650,000 BTC. The company says it has spent US$48.38 billion (AU$74.02 billion) acquiring that stash, which it estimates is roughly 3.1% of Bitcoin’s eventual 21 million-coin supply.

Saylor called the creation of a US dollar reserve a complement to Strategy’s Bitcoin reserve that is intended to help the company manage short-term market volatility and reassure creditors and shareholders. 

CEO Phong Le said the move reflects the firm’s role in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem and is designed to strengthen the position of its preferred stock, debt and common equity.

Strategy now holds 650,000 bitcoin, about 3.1% of the 21 million bitcoin that will ever exist.  In recognition of the important role we play in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem, and to further reinforce our commitment to our credit investors and shareholders, we have established a USD Reserve that currently covers 21 months of Dividends. We  intend to use this reserve to pay our Dividends and grow it over time.

Phong Le, President and CEO of Strategy.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…
