Summary

JPMorgan analysts said Strategy may need to rebuild its dollar reserves to restore investor confidence and reduce market concerns about potential Bitcoin sales after the company sold 32 Bitcoin. In a June 5 report, the team led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said the company’s cash covers about 6.3 months of dividend payments and that annual dividend obligations are about $1.7 billion. The analysts described Strategy as the largest digital-asset treasury company, holding 843,706 BTC at an average cost of $75,699, which they said implies an unrealized loss of about $11.5 billion at current prices. JPMorgan also said it had turned more cautious on digital assets and on the chances of crypto legislation passing this year.
