NYDIG, a bitcoin-focused financial services and research firm, said in a May 8 report that Strategy\u2019s management acknowledged the possibility after the company reported a roughly $12.5 billion net <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/strategy-reports-17-4-billion-q4-operating-loss-amid-bitcoin-price-correction\/\">loss<\/a> tied mainly to <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s quarterly decline. Strategy holds 818,869 <span>BTC<\/span>, worth about $67 billion after its <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/strategy-adds-535-btc-for-43m-saylor-pushes-total-holdings-to-818869-bitcoin\/\">latest acquisition<\/a> disclosure.<\/p>\n<p> <span>Bitcoin<\/span> accumulation has remained the company\u2019s central corporate strategy since adopting the <span>bitcoin<\/span> standard in August 2020. NYDIG described management\u2019s willingness to consider selling <span>BTC<\/span> to fund dividends as part of broader capital optimization rather than a departure from Strategy\u2019s long-term <span>bitcoin<\/span> approach. Preferred issuance programs, including STRC, are becoming more important within the company\u2019s financing structure. Strategy\u2019s CEO Phong Le said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe will probably sell some <span>bitcoin<\/span> to fund a dividend just to inoculate the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Le had <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/will-strategy-sell-bitcoin-ceo-outlines-scenario-when-talks-turn-real-amid-17b-loss\/\">previously<\/a> described selling <span>bitcoin<\/span> as a remote scenario tied to a severe and prolonged downturn. In a February interview, he said Strategy might revisit the question only if <span>bitcoin<\/span> fell to $8,000 for five years, while describing GAAP losses as noncash mark-to-market impacts.<\/p>\n<p>Investors are now watching how Strategy manages <span>BTC<\/span> holdings alongside dividends, <span>liquidity<\/span>, and preferred obligations. Its dashboard showed 818,869 <span>BTC<\/span>, a $67.1 billion <span>BTC<\/span> reserve, a $2.25 billion USD reserve, and $1.49 billion in annual dividends. The same dashboard listed 18.1 months of USD dividend coverage and 45.1 years of <span>BTC<\/span> dividend coverage.<\/p>\n<h2>Why <span>Bitcoin<\/span> Investors Should Watch Strategy\u2019s Funding Stack<\/h2>\n<p>Preferred securities are becoming a larger part of Strategy\u2019s capital structure, a shift NYDIG said increases the importance of <span>liquidity<\/span> management, dividend coverage, and market access alongside <span>bitcoin<\/span> accumulation. Investor focus is no longer limited to the company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a> holdings. Financing conditions and capital flexibility now play a larger role in how the stock is evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>Another metric gaining attention is mNAV. Management indicated MSTR equity issuance becomes accretive to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> per share only above about 1.22 times mNAV, rather than at parity. NYDIG tied that threshold to the size of the preferred equity stack and different dilution assumptions. The report stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe key issue is less about which methodology is used and more about ensuring consistency across reported metrics and capital allocation frameworks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Future signals include whether Strategy sells <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a>, how its USD Reserve changes, preferred dividend coverage, and the pace of new issuance. Those indicators could show whether the company remains primarily a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> accumulator or evolves into a more active bitcoin-backed capital markets structure.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/strategys-bitcoin-sale-comment-puts-treasury-risk-in-focus\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Strategy could sell BTC to fund dividends while seeking to preserve confidence in its treasury approach.
