Strategy Inc. has pushed its USD Reserve to an unprecedented $3.75 billion, marking a significant milestone in its treasury management approach. Meanwhile, the company also repurchased $25 million worth of its STRC preferred shares, signaling a more nuanced capital allocation strategy beyond just digital asset accumulation.

Focused Treasury Moves

Between July 20 and July 26, Strategy bought back 288,930 STRC shares at an average price of $86.52 per share. This move aligns with the firm’s policy to reduce future financing costs by purchasing discounted shares rather than paying full price. Concurrently, Strategy increased its USD Reserve by $525 million through sales of Class A common stock, a step that now allows the reserve to cover approximately 25 months of preferred-stock dividend payments.

The company’s management emphasized that the USD Reserve is earmarked specifically for dividend coverage and not for funding buybacks. Future repurchases of STRC shares will be financed through other corporate resources, potentially including proceeds from additional sales of MSTR shares or Bitcoin, depending on market conditions. This approach highlights a clear separation between liquidity reserves and share repurchase programs to optimize capital efficiency.

Strategy plans to continue buying STRC shares opportunistically while they trade below their $100 stated value, with nearly $975 million still authorized for repurchases under its Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program. CEO Phong Le noted that acquiring shares below par lowers future preferred dividend obligations, benefiting long-term capital management. The company also intends to maintain the STRC’s 12% annualized dividend rate, adjusting it only if shares demonstrate consistent trading near par.

Meanwhile, Strive, another Bitcoin-centric investment firm, is expanding its BTC holdings while keeping up regular shareholder dividends. These developments reflect a broader trend among crypto treasury firms toward specialized capital allocation models that balance asset accumulation with shareholder returns and risk management.
