Strategy has unveiled ambitious plans to issue up to $2,1 billion of Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, with an annual dividend of 10%.
This sale will be conducted in phases through at-the-market offerings under SEC Rule 415(a)(4), giving the Company flexibility to respond to favorable market conditions or to raise capital through negotiated block trades.
The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include additional purchases of Bitcoin (BTC). This move reinforces Strategy’s long-standing treasury strategy, which focuses on converting cash to BTC. This allows the company to further expand its already record-breaking holdings, which now stand at over 214.000 BTC.
Unlike previous financing rounds that used convertible notes, Strategy is opting for a form of equity this time around. Preferred shares do not dilute the voting power of ordinary shareholders, but represent a hybrid of debt and equity. It offers fixed dividends — in this case a remarkably high 10%.
This yield reflects both the current interest rate environment and the risk investors associate with a business strategy that relies heavily on Bitcoin.
The move marks the latest financial push from Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, who has turned Strategy into a de facto Bitcoin investment vehicle.
By issuing preferred stock instead of traditional debt, the company avoids the obligation of fixed repayments, while simultaneously gaining access to billions in potential capital for BTC accumulation.
The offering is also perpetual, meaning there is no expiration date attached to it. Investors therefore receive dividends endlessly, making it a long-term bet not only on Strategy, but also on the future of Bitcoin.
This fundraising effort underscores Saylor’s unwavering commitment: if market conditions are favorable, Strategy is more than willing to buy even more Bitcoin. So who says opportunities are amiss? “In the world of crypto, the best opportunities are always just a click away!”
