Strategy establishes $2.2 billion cash reserve, shifts to defensive mode

2025-12-27 by admin

BlockBeats news, December 27, according to CNBC reports, Strategy is accelerating its shift towards liquidity management, having established a $2.2 billion cash reserve to pay preferred stock dividends and debt interest without selling Bitcoin.

As the company’s valuation premium relative to its Bitcoin position gradually declines, this cash buffer is seen as a key measure to stabilize the financial structure and reduce the risk of passive selling.

PANews reported on December 31 that Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat and chairman of BitMine, wrote on the X platform: "Typically, during these last holiday trading sessions, many institutional investors exit the market, and algorithmic trading programs and bot trading programs begin to dominate the market, along with sell-offs for tax avoidance. These constitute the market dynamics in the last few days of December." Previously, in BitMine's announcement of acquiring 44,463 ETH last week, Tom Lee mentioned that market activity tends to slow down as the year enters its final weeks of holiday season. Year-end tax-avoidance selling depresses cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency-related stock prices, with this effect typically most pronounced between December 26th and December 30th; therefore, they are adjusting their market strategy accordingly. Earlier today, it was reported that Bitmine pledged another 118,944 ETH and increased its holdings by 32,938 ETH .
