An analysis on January 6, 2026, detailed MicroStrategy's strategy to balance its crypto exposure with stronger financial footing. In early January, the company purchased over 1,280 bitcoins. Simultaneously, MicroStrategy increased its USD cash reserves to approximately $2.25 billion.
The firm generated these reserves using proceeds from recent stock sales. This effort ensures the company can support ongoing obligations, including an 11% annual dividend rate on its perpetual preferred stock.
The dual strategy—accumulating Bitcoin while building a larger cash safety net—signals a move to reassure investors about financial stability. This positioning precedes a key MSCI index-inclusion decision expected by January 15.
