Trading in Strategy (MSTR) shares surged Monday, marking the highest volume since December 2024, as the Nasdaq-listed stock fell following announcements regarding a new dollar reserve and revised full-year profit guidance.

Strategy, the world’s largest publicly traded bitcoin treasury firm, holds approximately 650,000 BTC, valued at roughly $56 billion. The company began accumulating bitcoin in 2020 as a hedge against the dollar’s declining purchasing power, according to founder Michael Saylor. Since then, it has raised capital by selling preferred stock to fund additional bitcoin purchases.

On Monday, Strategy announced a $1.44 billion dollar reserve intended to support dividend payments on its preferred stock and interest on outstanding debt. The company also updated its full-year profit outlook, projecting a net loss of $5.5 billion to net income of $6.3 billion, reflecting the 30% decline in bitcoin from its October record high.
