Saylor Is Hinting at Another Bitcoin Buy Before MSCI Rules on Strategy. What Happens to BTC if Strategy Has to Sell Instead?

The company used the proceeds to cover rising preferred payouts and repurchase STRC shares as its annual dividend burden reached $420 million, Strategy said.

  • Strategy Inc. disclosed selling approximately $432 million in Bitcoin throughout 2026, while remaining the largest corporate holder with 848,517 BTC valued at around $66 billion as of October 25.
  • Rising dividend costs prompted the sales; preferred dividends surged to $420 million in Q3 from $140 million a year earlier, alongside buybacks of STRC preferred shares.
  • Despite spending $14.3 billion acquiring Bitcoin, each MSTR share now holds less Bitcoin than at year's start, with BTC Yield turning negative 3.7% versus 22.8% in 2025.
  • Amid a 14.8% decline in MSTR shares over the past month, CFO Andrew Kang will step down on November 5, with Reza Virasteh taking over on January 1, 2027.
  • Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said the company can raise up to $30 billion in "digital credit" to finance purchases, just 10 days before MSCI decides whether Strategy Inc. exits its global indexes.
