Strategy adds $748 million in cash to dividend reserve as bitcoin accumulation pauses near Christmas

Michael Saylor's company, Strategy, halted its two-week streak of bitcoin accumulation, choosing instead to add $748 million to its USD reserve, bringing the total cash buffer to $2.19 billion. This reserve, established under the new capital structure, is intended to fund future dividends and provide flexible liquidity as the firm maintains its hybrid cash-and-bitcoin treasury model. Strategy's total bitcoin holdings remain unchanged at 671,268 BTC. The pause followed an aggressive buying period where the firm acquired over 21,000 BTC in two weeks. Despite the pause and a recent cryptic social media post from Saylor, the company's long-term strategy centers on bitcoin acquisition. Furthermore, Strategy retained its spot in the Nasdaq 100 index while continuing its dispute with MSCI over proposed rules that could exclude firms with over 50% of assets in digital assets from core equity benchmarks.
