Summary
- Strategy aims to restore Stretch toward par while expanding reserves and authorized buybacks supporting its Bitcoin accumulation strategy long term.
- Le explained recent Bitcoin sales represented only 0.4% of holdings while strengthening balance sheet flexibility through tax benefits without dilution.
- Strategy argued its largest Bitcoin trades represented only small portions of overall market volume reducing concerns about price influence materially.
Strategy has unveiled a broader capital management plan designed to strengthen its Bitcoin acquisition model, with CEO Phong Le identifying the recovery of the company’s Stretch preferred security as a key driver of future Bitcoin accumulation. According to remarks from Le during the company’s second-quarter earnings call, reported by Crypto Briefing, restoring Stretch closer to its par value would reinforce the company’s digital credit framework while supporting long-term shareholder value.
According to Le, Stretch recently traded around $89.50, while Strategy aims to restore it to the $99 to $100 range. He explained that achieving that target would strengthen the company’s digital credit engine and increase Bitcoin per share. Moreover, Le noted that Strategy introduced five initiatives to reinforce Stretch and improve the overall capital structure supporting its Bitcoin strategy.

Strategy expands reserves and buyback capacity
Strategy also raised its U.S. dollar reserve to a record $3.75 billion, which, according to Le, provides roughly 2.1 years of dividend and interest coverage, comfortably exceeding the company’s minimum one-year target. Additionally, Strategy approved up to $1 billion in digital credit buybacks and another $1 billion in MSTR share repurchases to strengthen its capital framework.
According to Le, the company’s Bitcoin monetization program is designed to improve balance sheet strength rather than reduce Bitcoin exposure. He explained that selective Bitcoin sales could generate up to $1.25 billion in additional U.S. dollar reserves while supporting approximately $1.76 billion in annual dividend and interest obligations. Besides that, Strategy intends to maintain flexibility for repurchase programs worth up to $2 billion as market conditions evolve.
CEO defends Strategy’s Bitcoin transactions
Le also addressed Strategy’s recent sale of 3,620 BTC, explaining that the transactions represented only about 0.4% of the company’s total Bitcoin holdings while creating potential tax benefits through realized losses. Furthermore, Le dismissed claims that Strategy materially influences Bitcoin’s market price.
He explained that the company’s largest weekly Bitcoin purchases accounted for only about 1.4% of total trading volume, while its biggest weekly sales represented roughly 0.08% of market activity. According to Le, Strategy will execute Bitcoin sales whenever they strengthen its capital framework and support its long-term objective of increasing Bitcoin per share.
Conclusion
Strategy’s latest capital plan places Stretch at the center of its digital credit strategy while reinforcing liquidity and shareholder returns. According to Phong Le, the company remains focused on strengthening its financial position while expanding Bitcoin per share over the long term.
