This report was published on Cointelegraph on December 6, 2025, covering an important announcement from Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy, a software analytics company that has become known for its significant investments in Bitcoin). Here are the key details directly and succinctly:
#### Key announcement:
- Total amount: $1.44 billion.
- Method: Stock sale.
- Purpose: Create a cash reserve (in USD) that covers dividends for at least 12 months, with plans to extend it to 24 months (approximately 21 months of coverage achieved). The main goal is to reassure investors and remove the uncertainties (FUD) resulting from the drop in Bitcoin's price, without the need to sell any Bitcoin from the company's reserve.
#### Context of Bitcoin's decline and FUD:
- Markets saw a decline in Bitcoin's price, raising concerns about Strategy's ability to meet its debt and dividend obligations if the downturn continues.
- This led to the spread of FUD, including short bets on Bitcoin, despite the company's assurance that it would only sell Bitcoin as a last resort if its stock price fell below its net asset value and it was unable to raise new capital.
#### Key quotes from CEO Phong Le:
- "We are an integral part of the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency system. That’s why we decided a few weeks ago to start raising capital and putting USD in our budget to eliminate this FUD."
- "There was FUD saying we wouldn't be able to pay dividends, which led people to bet on a decline in Bitcoin. But in just 8.5 days, we raised $1.44 billion – covering 21 months of profit obligations – not just to address the FUD, but to prove we are still capable of raising funds even during a Bitcoin downturn."
#### Impacts and other highlights:
- Bitcoin reserve: Strategy owns approximately 650,000 Bitcoin and launched a "BTC Credit" dashboard showing that its assets are sufficient to cover dividends for over 70 years.
- Timeline: The company began planning weeks in advance and completed the raise in just 8.5 days, with the official announcement on Monday (approximately December 1, 2025).
- Market impact: This raise shows Strategy's ability to attract investment in challenging market conditions, which may reduce FUD and enhance confidence in the long-term Bitcoin system. Cantor analysts also lowered their stock price target by 60%, but they confirmed that concerns about forced selling are exaggerated.
- Future plans: Expand the reserve to 24 months, emphasizing that Bitcoin will only be sold in extreme emergency situations.
This news reflects Strategy's strategy to strengthen its financial position during volatility, making it a model for companies investing in cryptocurrencies.
