Summary
Strategy Inc. announced a comprehensive Digital Credit Capital Framework on June 29, 2026, designed to stabilize equity valuations, enhance liquidity, and preserve long-term bitcoin holdings while strengthening credit quality across its portfolio. The framework represents a multi-pronged approach to capital management in response to market conditions affecting both common and preferred stock performance.
The centerpiece of the initiative is a Board-Approved USD Reserve policy establishing $2.55 billion in liquid reserves, representing 17.4 months of dividend coverage. This reserve is restricted to dividend payments and serves as a strategic tool to reduce expected preferred stock dividend obligations over time. Alongside the USD Reserve, Strategy Inc. disclosed holdings of 847,363 BTC, which are integrated into the overall capital framework in tandem with the $2.55 billion cash position and additional $1.25 billion in BTC-linked commitments.
The framework's five components include the USD Reserve policy, a revised STRC dividend policy with preferred dividends set at 12%, authorization for Digital Credit Securities issuance, authorization for Digital Credit repurchase programs, and a BTC monetization program. Additionally, the company authorized $2 billion in repurchases of MSTR common stock, signaling management confidence in enterprise valuation. These provisions are intended to reduce equity volatility while maintaining capital discipline and strategic optionality in bitcoin accumulation and digital credit expansion.
By tying liquidity reserves, cryptocurrency holdings, and capital allocation policies into a unified framework, Strategy Inc. aims to address investor concerns regarding dividend sustainability and equity stability while preserving flexibility for long-term bitcoin monetization and digital credit growth initiatives.
