Strategy Slows Bitcoin Buying, Builds $1.44 Billion Cash Buffer as MSCI Index Ruling Nears

The company emphasizes an mNAV-based sell trigger alongside a 12–24 month liquidity buffer.

Overview

  • MSCI’s review of firms centered on buying cryptocurrencies is scheduled for a Jan. 15 decision, with Michael Saylor confirming active discussions and disputing the projected impact.
  • JPMorgan estimates that potential index exclusions could drive roughly $2.8 billion to $8.8 billion of passive outflows from Strategy shares.
  • CryptoQuant data show monthly Bitcoin purchases plunged from 134,000 BTC at the 2024 peak to about 9,100 BTC in November and roughly 135 BTC so far in December.
  • Strategy holds about 650,000 BTC at an average cost near $74,000 per coin and has established a $1.44 billion U.S. dollar reserve to cover preferred dividends and interest for 12–24 months.
  • Executives say Bitcoin would be sold only if the company’s mNAV falls below 1 or if financing becomes inaccessible, while some analysts, including Bitwise’s CIO, view near‑term forced sales as unlikely.
