Strategy Inc. (MSTR) saw its preferred stock (STRC) fall below $98 amid concerns over a shrinking dividend cash reserve, now covering only 6.1 months of payments down from 21 months. This decline followed a $1.38 billion reserve drawdown to repurchase convertible debt, leaving the dividend buffer thin. Analyst Peter Schiff warned this triggers a 'death spiral' where falling stock prices force higher yields, leading to more Bitcoin sales to fund dividends, further depressing prices. The company sold Bitcoin for the first time since 2022 as part of this liquidity strategy, raising concerns about future dividend sustainability and stock value.
