Strategy Reports $4.79 Billion Reserve, Raises About $431.8 Million by Selling Bitcoin in 2026

What happened

Strategy reported a $4.79 billion designated dollar reserve as of November 1, alongside $132.7 million in cash, and said it used $43.4 million from the reserve to pay preferred stock dividends during October 26–November 1. Through its October 2026 results, it had raised about $431.8 million by selling Bitcoin to fund dividends and repurchases.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The reserve and cash help fund dividends and share repurchases, while Bitcoin sales have also supplied money for those payments. If the company continues selling Bitcoin for these needs, it would reduce its Bitcoin holdings; the article does not say whether that will continue.

Analyst inference

Strategy also repurchased $208.2 million of STRC, a preferred stock, from October 26 to November 1, and raised its repurchase authorization to $3 billion by its October results. STRC dividends now accrue daily, but payment capacity depends on the issuer’s resources, not a claim on its Bitcoin.

Confirmed

What to watch

1. Track future disclosures of the dollar reserve and cash, since changes could show how much funding Strategy has available for dividends and repurchases. Analyst inference
2. Watch whether Strategy sells more Bitcoin to fund dividends or repurchases; the article reports about $431.8 million raised this way through its October 2026 results. Analyst inference
3. Note that STRC dividends accrue daily from November 1, with payments processed on business days; the article says payment capacity depends on Strategy’s resources. Confirmed
