A strategy stock portfolio is testing its endurance through market fluctuations, as proven by a recent analysis by author Adam Livingston. Currently, as of January 4, 2026, the portfolio has 673,783 Bitcoins in its reserves, which is said to be ample for the dividend payments.
Livingston pointed out that in any Bitcoin price extreme, the Strategy’s treasury looks ready to fund the annual payments, which cleared doubts about the fundability of the stock.
Strategy’s Bitcoin Reserves Secure Dividend Payments
The strategy has about $823 million in annual cash requirements to satisfy dividends to its stockholders. Livingston examined how many Bitcoins the company would have to sell to fulfill these requirements at different price points.
With a price of $90,000 per Bitcoin, Strategy would sell approximately 9,100 Bitcoins each year. A price drop to $45,000 increases this to 18,300 Bitcoins, or 45,700 at $18,000. Even at a drastic crash of 90% to $9,000, only 91,400 Bitcoins would need to be liquidated.
In addition to holding Bitcoin, Strategy also keeps a fund in USD that is sufficient to finance the business for around 2.7 years without selling the BTC in the reserves. As Livingston asserts, dividends are only under threat if two extreme events happen concurrently, which is very unlikely.
Strategy STRC Ensures Dividend Stability
The structure of Strategy’s preferred stock (STRC) is intended to be sustainable as long as the prices are close to par value. It is expected that $110 million annual dividends for every $1 billion of STRC will be realized, implying that $9.17 million is paid every month.
The company retains only 11% of the STRC proceeds in its USD reserve fund for the prepayment of one-year dividends. Strategy has an issuance of $25 million per day; therefore, Strategy can accumulate around $6.25 billion in 250 trading days, leaving $5.56 billion for the purchase of Bitcoins and day-to-day activities.
This allows Strategy to utilize ATM program income for general corporate purposes and buying Bitcoins. The tiered dividend system of STRC ensures that NPV remains close to par, with market force rather than the company’s ability to pay being the limitation. This addresses issues raised by concerns of market uncertainty affecting dividends, according to Livingston.

Strategy Stock Performance Stands Out
This is especially true for the company stock, as it has nearly tenfolded since the initiation of its treasury plan in August 2020. Mike Novogratz, the CEO of Galaxy Digital, estimated that only 3 of 50 companies focused on treasuries have been successful in such an approach.
The company involves a large bitcoin holding, pre-funded dividend payments, and an adjustable stock plan, which makes the company one of the few that can withstand market fluctuations while continuing to reward its shareholders.
