Recall

Despite growing criticism and online FUD, Saylor’s brainchild Strategy continues to focus on BTC, but the new move is quite different.
Instead of announcing a new bitcoin purchase, the firm’s former CEO noted on X that the company has launched the Digital Credit Capital Framework to strengthen its digital credit, enhance liquidity, preserve long-term BTC exposure, and support long-term value creation.

Saylor’s first message reassured the public that the company has increased its USD reserve to $2.55 billion, which should cover the dividend payments for 17.4 months. The greenback stash can be used only for dividends and interest expense, and “will be maintained at a minimum of 12 months.”
Strategy has also established a BTC Monetization Program, which allows it to sell bitcoin to fund the USD reserve (with a cap of $1.25 billion), dividends and interest expenses, or to repurchase Digital Credit securities and MSTR under the applicable programs. If it indeed sells more bitcoin, then its dividend coverage rises to $3.8 billion – or 25.9 months of such payments.
Strategy has also established repurchase programs for its Digital Credit securities of up to $1 billion of MSTR.
<blockquote>
 “This will create flexibility to accretively buy back securities during market dislocations. Repurchases will not be funded from the USD reserve,” <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/2071565162377568377" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> Saylor.
</blockquote>
In addition, STRC’s dividend rate has been increased by 50 bps to 12%, effective for the July 2026 record date. Saylor said the company will continue to evaluate the rate monthly, as its corporate objective for Stretch remains to trade at $99-$100. Recall that STRC plummeted by 25% under its par value in the past few weeks.

Recall that Strategy and particularly its STRC stock have come under a lot of fire in recent weeks. The company sold a tiny portion of its BTC holdings by the end of May, and even though it has accumulated a lot more since, market observers claim that the firm has rattled the industry.
Critics have continuously attacked Saylor and his company, <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/analyst-warns-strategy-will-have-to-sell-over-50000-btc-by-2028/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">warning</a> that they might have to sell over 50,000 BTC in the next couple of years to cover some expenses or dividend payments.
CryptoQuant analysts <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/saylor-should-stop-buying-bitcoin-says-cryptoquant/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">suggested</a> that Strategy should halt its BTC purchases in favor of rebuilding its USD reserve. Although the company has not listened entirely to this advice, the last two announcements were more <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/strategy-buys-more-bitcoin-but-turns-attention-to-usd-reserve-with-300m-injection/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">focused</a> on the USD reserve rather than the BTC stockpile.
