Bitcoin MicroStrategy #Strategy is quietly shifting its narrative focus.


Last week, they continued to buy $BTC BTC from the market.
But unlike before — this time, the official emphasis was not on "how much Bitcoin was bought," but on repeatedly highlighting cash reserves.
The data is straightforward:

Cash reserves: $62 million → $2.25 billion

The additional over $2 billion mainly comes from ATM stock issuance.

In other words: selling stock at market price to US investors to exchange for cash.

This step is clearly not about storytelling but risk prevention.
Why start hoarding cash now?
A key timing point is approaching.
MSCI (one of the most important global index providers)
has announced it will decide on January 15:
whether to remove Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) from its stock index.
What would be the impact if that happens?

Passive funds would be forced to sell.

Market estimates: approximately $2.8 billion could flow out.

Even more problematic: other index providers might follow suit.

This is not an emotional shock but a structural selling pressure.
So what you see is:

On the surface:
Strategy is still buying BTC.

In reality:
The company is preparing ammunition in advance for the "index removal" extreme scenario.

The significance of $2.25 billion in cash is:

To absorb potential stock price volatility,

Maintain stable BTC holdings without forced selling,

Send a signal to the market: "We can withstand it."

This is also why they proactively put "cash" front and center this time.
In one sentence:
In the past, Strategy's narrative was:
"We've been buying Bitcoin."
Now, quietly, an additional layer has been added:
"Even if index funds exit, we don't need to sell Bitcoin."
This is not about bullish or bearish sentiment,
but a risk management move by a highly leveraged, BTC-linked company.
The real variable moving forward is not on-chain,
but the vote from MSCI on January 15.
