Strategy Inc. said it had created a $1.4 billion reserve to fund future dividend and interest payments, tempering concern that the Bitcoin accumulator may be forced to sell some of its roughly $56 billion cryptocurrency haul if token prices continue to fall.

The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company said in a statement on Monday that the new reserve, funded by proceeds from the sale of shares of class A common stock, would cover at least 21 months of dividend payments. Over time, it plans to maintain enough cash in the reserve to cover up to two years of payments.
