Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said Strategy held approximately $5.1 billion in cash as of Oct. 25—enough, according to the report, to cover dividends and interest for roughly 3.4 years without selling Bitcoin. This may reduce near-term forced-selling concerns. Strategy cash reserves report
• Positive Sentiment: Technical and long-term Bitcoin outlook provide support. MSTR recently formed a “golden cross,” while Saylor continues to argue that institutional adoption could drive Bitcoin toward $100,000 in 2027. Those factors may attract momentum investors despite near-term weakness. Strategy golden cross analysis
• Neutral Sentiment: Investors are awaiting third-quarter results. Strategy is scheduled to report quarterly financial results after the market closes on Oct. 29. The report could clarify the effect of Bitcoin valuation changes, financing costs and preferred-share obligations on earnings. Strategy Q3 earnings preview
• Negative Sentiment: Strategy paused its signature Bitcoin-buying program. The company purchased no Bitcoin and made no sales from Oct. 19–25, leaving holdings at 848,517 BTC. Instead, it spent approximately $204.9 million repurchasing 2.07 million STRC preferred shares. The shift reduces immediate Bitcoin accumulation and suggests capital is being directed toward supporting the preferred-stock market. Strategy Bitcoin purchase pause
