Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, is set to raise approximately $2.47 billion through the sale of 28 million shares of its Series A Stretch Preferred Stock. Each share is priced at $90 in its initial public offering, which is expected to close on July 29.
According to Strategy, the offering has significantly increased from its initial $500 million plan. After underwriting discounts and offering expenses, the company estimates net proceeds of around $2.474 billion. The funds will be directed toward general corporate purposes, including further Bitcoin acquisitions and operational costs. The move aligns with Strategy’s ongoing commitment to expand its Bitcoin holdings under the direction of Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
Dividend Structure and Redemption Options for STRC Stock
The Series A Stretch Preferred Stock, trading under the ticker STRC, will offer monthly dividend payments beginning August 31, subject to board approval. These dividends are set at an initial annualized rate of 9 percent based on a $100 base value.
The company retains the ability to adjust the dividend rate based on market conditions within a predefined range. Should any dividend payments be delayed, they will accrue interest monthly. Strategy may redeem the STRC stock at $101 per share plus unpaid dividends once the shares are listed on a U.S. exchange. Partial buybacks will be allowed, provided a minimum of $250 million worth of shares remain outstanding after the transaction.
Bitcoin Strategy Continues With Latest Acquisition
The offering comes just weeks after Strategy completed a $472.5 million Bitcoin purchase, acquiring 4,225 BTC at an average price of $111,827 per coin. The transaction was announced on July 14 and brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 601,550.
These holdings were accumulated at an average price of $71,268 per coin, totaling $42.87 billion in investment. Strategy continues to use Bitcoin as a central asset in its financial structure, viewing it as a long-term store of value. This position remains a core element of the company’s identity under Michael Saylor’s leadership.
Conclusion
With its expanded preferred stock offering, Strategy aims to secure substantial capital to further its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy and support ongoing business operations. The company maintains its role as one of the most closely watched Bitcoin-linked equities in the public markets.
