The post MSTR liquidity buffer covers dividends and debt with no systemic risk through 2027 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Strategy (MSTR), the largest bitcoin BTC$87,744.46 holder among publicly traded companies, increased its dollar reserve to $2.2 billion, giving the company a two-and-a-half-year buffer to meet dividend obligations and the flexibility to navigate a potential “bitcoin winter” if BTC prices follow the conventional four-year market cycle.

At or above the conversion price, the notes would convert into equity, while prices below would require cash repayment. In addition, MSTR holds 671,268 BTC, offering further flexibility, as only a small portion of holdings would be needed if cash settlement were required. Jeff Walton, the chief risk officer at Strive, underscored the importance of what he calls the company’s USD battery, noting that the current reserve is enough to fully address the September 2027 convertible put while still leaving an additional 15 months of…
