Odaily reported that Strategy posted on X that its Bitcoin reserves are enough to cover 32 years of dividend payments. The statement frames the company’s Bitcoin holdings as the basis for measuring how long its reserve position could support dividend obligations.

Economist Peter Schiff and other critics challenged the calculation. They argued that it does not account for the effect that selling Bitcoin could have on the market price, relies on an assumption that the Bitcoin price remains flat, and does not include additional obligations created by new share issuance. The debate centers on whether the stated reserve value can be translated into dividend coverage under those assumptions.

Supporters emphasized the large scale of the company’s reserves and pointed to Bitcoin’s recent 7% gain. As of June 14, 2026, Strategy held 846,842 Bitcoin, with a cumulative purchase cost of about $64.07 billion. These figures are the key data points behind the company’s claim that its Bitcoin reserves can cover 32 years of dividend payments.
