PANews, December 23 – According to Coindesk, as the publicly listed company holding the most bitcoin, Strategy (MSTR) has increased its US dollar reserves to $2.2 billion to secure dividend payments for the next two and a half years and reduce financial pressure from a potential "crypto winter" triggered by bitcoin's four-year cycle. The company increased its reserves by $748 million through a stock sale on Monday. This cash buffer not only alleviates short-term liquidity pressure but also supports the company's operations during periods of high market volatility. The reserve is mainly used to pay preferred stock dividends, totaling about $824 million annually, and also provides repayment security for the $1 billion convertible bonds due in September 2027. Currently, MSTR's share price is around $163, about 12% lower than the $183 conversion price of the convertible bonds. If the share price does not reach the conversion price, the company will repay in cash; if it reaches or exceeds the conversion price, settlement will be in equity. In addition, MSTR holds 671,268 BTC, and only a small portion would need to be used to meet cash repayment requirements. The company's Chief Risk Officer, Jeff Walton, stated that the current cash reserves are sufficient to cover the repayment of the convertible bonds due in September 2027 and provide an additional 15 months of preferred stock dividend payment security. Although MSTR's share price has fallen by about 45% this year, the company has further strengthened its financial health by increasing its cash reserves. Previous news: Last week, global listed companies made a net purchase of $26.35 million in BTC, with Strategy not increasing its holdings.

BlockBeats News, December 23, 2025—the cryptocurrency industry experienced unprecedented upheaval and turning points. From the pro-crypto policies at the start of Trump’s administration, the resignation of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, the signing of the GENIUS Act, and the ongoing fervor for bitcoin ETF, to the 10.11 crash that created the largest single-day liquidation in crypto history, this year’s major events have been as turbulent as a roller coaster. Trump—undoubtedly the most influential figure on the crypto market trend in 2025. The emergence of the TRUMP token marked the market’s entry into peak FOMO, a series of tariff hikes triggered a sharp crypto market crash, and the signing of an executive order allowing retirement accounts to invest in crypto once again set off a bitcoin rally, reaching new all-time highs. The regulatory environment shifted from strict enforcement to innovation-friendly, as the United States officially moved toward its vision of becoming the “crypto capital”; exchange lawsuit settlements, institutional capital inflows, and the implementation of a stablecoin framework—these milestones not only reshaped the global crypto landscape but also injected strong confidence into the industry. BlockBeats’ “2025 Major Crypto Events Review” selected the most influential events of the year, documenting every key moment from meme coin mania to regulatory easing. Looking back at 2025, we see the crypto sector starting off in a full FOMO state. Although the market gradually entered “hard mode,” it is also embracing a more mature and compliant future.
