Strategy stock jumped 6.5% in premarket trading on Monday after the company unveiled a sweeping capital management overhaul, pulling back from a rare moment where its market value had dropped below the worth of its Bitcoin treasury.
The moment was hard to miss. For a company whose entire identity is built around holding Bitcoin, having your market cap fall below the value of those holdings sends a pretty clear message that the market is questioning the premium.
MSTR was trading around $84.81 as of Monday, up roughly 3% in regular session trading.

Tal Fromchenko, CEO of LEVERAGED, put it bluntly: “The premium that powered their entire buy-more-BTC engine is gone.” He added that the episode was “a good reminder that buying Bitcoin through a third-party vehicle and actually owning Bitcoin are very different things.”
Strategy’s response came in the form of what it’s calling a Digital Credit Capital Framework, a five-part plan that marks a shift in how the company manages its capital.
The plan includes a $1 billion preferred securities buyback and a $1 billion common stock repurchase program. Strategy is also introducing a structured Bitcoin monetization plan and revising the dividend policy for its STRC preferred stock, raising it to 12%.
CEO Phong Le said the company is “evolving from one-way capital issuance to active capital management.” That’s a notable change in tone from a company that has spent years almost exclusively issuing capital to buy more Bitcoin.
Founder Michael Saylor framed the framework as one “designed to strengthen credit quality and enable the Company to reduce expected preferred stock dividend payments when accretive.”
Liquidity Position
Strategy’s USD reserve currently sits at approximately $2.55 billion, which represents roughly 17.4 months of preferred dividend and interest coverage.
When combined with $1.25 billion of board-authorized Bitcoin monetization capacity, total liquidity coverage reaches approximately 25.9 months. That gives the company meaningful runway even in a stressed scenario.
Bitcoin itself was down about 0.94% on Monday.
What the Market Is Saying
Not everyone is treating this as a crisis. Mark Zalan, CEO of GoMining, offered a more measured read, saying the episode reflects “the bitcoin treasury thesis maturing” rather than failing.
Zalan said markets are increasingly beginning to separate Bitcoin’s value from “the leveraged corporate structures built around it,” which he views as a constructive development rather than a negative one.
STRC, Strategy’s preferred stock, was up 4.89% in Monday trading.
The company’s STRC preferred stock dividend has now been raised to 12% as part of the new framework.
