In a move that reshapes its capital structure, Strategy (MSTR) announced a new capital framework raising its dividend to 12%, authorizing $2 billion in share buybacks, and – for the first time – formally permitting the sale of bitcoin at scale to fund company obligations, with up to $1.25 billion available for sale, according to reports.

The announcement came as MSTR shares closed at $92.68 on June 29, 2026, after trading between $82.72 and $94.37 during the session. The new framework marks a strategic shift toward rewarding shareholders while maintaining financial flexibility to leverage its massive bitcoin holdings.

Investors are now watching the potential impact on bitcoin prices, as the permission to sell could create selling pressure. The 12% dividend yield makes the stock attractive to income-focused investors. Upcoming quarterly performance and actual sale plans will be closely monitored.
