Strategy today announced the establishment of a US dollar reserve (“USD Reserve”) of $1.44 billion and updates to its assumptions underlying its previously issued forward guidance and bitcoin key performance indicator (“KPI”) targets for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, which were published on October 30, 2025.
Establishment of USD Reserve
Strategy today announced that it has established a USD Reserve of $1.44 billion to support the payment of dividends on its preferred stock and interest on its outstanding indebtedness (“Dividends”). The USD Reserve was funded using proceeds from the sale of shares of class A common stock under Strategy’s at-the-market offering program. Strategy’s current intention is to maintain a USD Reserve in an amount sufficient to fund at least twelve months of its Dividends, and Strategy intends to strengthen the USD Reserve over time, with the goal of ultimately covering 24 months or more of its Dividends. The maintenance of this USD Reserve, as well as its amount, terms and conditions, remains subject to Strategy’s sole and absolute discretion and Strategy may adjust the USD Reserve from time to time based on market conditions, liquidity needs and other factors.
“Establishing a USD Reserve to complement our BTC Reserve marks the next step in our evolution, and we believe it will better position us to navigate short-term market volatility while delivering on our vision of being the world’s leading issuer of Digital Credit,” said Michael Saylor, Founder and Executive Chairman.
“Strategy now holds 650,000 bitcoin, about 3.1% of the 21 million bitcoin that will ever exist. In recognition of the important role we play in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem, and to further reinforce our commitment to our credit investors and shareholders, we have established a USD Reserve that currently covers 21 months of Dividends. We intend to use this reserve to pay our Dividends and grow it over time.” said Phong Le, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Updates to FY 2025 Earnings Guidance and Bitcoin KPI Targets
Strategy today announced updates to its assumptions underlying its previously issued forward guidance and Bitcoin KPI targets for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 (“FY2025”), previously published on October 30, 2025. That guidance assumed a bitcoin price of $150,000 as of December 31, 2025, based on the approximate consensus midpoint of third-party research analyst year-end bitcoin price estimates available as of that date. Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset, and the trading price of bitcoin has declined from approximately $111,612 as of October 30, 2025 to as low as $80,660 on November 21, 2025.
In light of the recent trading prices of bitcoin, Strategy is updating its assumptions for the price of bitcoin as of year-end 2025 to reflect a range of prices consistent with the recent trading history of bitcoin and is providing corresponding ranges for FY2025 Operating Income, Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share as set forth below that would result if the price of bitcoin on December 31, 2025 is within such range.
Update to FY 2025 Earnings Guidance
Based on an assumed year-end 2025 bitcoin price range of $85,000 to $110,000, the target ranges for Strategy’s FY2025 Operating Income, Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share are as follows:
FY2025 Operating Income (Loss): between approximately $(7.0) billion and $9.5 billion;
FY2025 Net Income (Loss): between approximately $(5.5) billion and $6.3 billion; and
FY2025 Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share: between approximately $(17.0) per share of common stock and $19.0 per share of common stock.
These ranges also assume the successful completion of capital raises to achieve Strategy’s FY2025 Bitcoin Yield Target (discussed below) and the deployment of proceeds from such raises to the purchase of bitcoin.
Updates to FY 2025 Bitcoin KPI Targets
Also based on the same assumed year-end 2025 bitcoin price range of $85,000 to $110,000, and after giving effect to Strategy’s anticipated common stock issuances to maintain its USD Reserve, Strategy’s updated FY2025 Bitcoin KPI targets are as follows:
FY2025 BTC Yield Target: between 22.0% and 26.0%; and
FY2025 BTC $ Gain Target: between $8.4 billion and $12.8 billion.
Strategy expects to achieve these targets through preferred stock offerings, disciplined common stock issuances, and the resulting increase in its bitcoin holdings.
