Strategy’s newest stock offering
The latest Bitcoin acquisition follows Strategy’s announcement of a $1 billion stock offering, which quadrupled its previous announcement of a $250 million raise. The firm said that it plans to use the proceeds to fund additional Bitcoin acquisitions and corporate expenses.
The stock offering issues 11.76 million shares of Strategy’s 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock for $85 per share. Following the deduction of expenses from underwriting and other dues, the firm expects to raise approximately $979 million.
Unlike previous fundraising rounds, this offering provides non-cumulative dividends of 10%, designed to appeal to institutional and professional investors seeking yield-generating opportunities.
