Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has adopted a new capital framework, significantly increasing its dividend to 12% for STRC holders and authorizing a $2 billion share buyback. Crucially, this framework now formally permits the company to sell up to $1.25 billion of its Bitcoin holdings to fund these obligations.

Investors should monitor any announcements regarding actual Bitcoin sales and their timing, as well as the market's reaction to such large-scale movements.
