Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy) announced on social media platform X, its plans to offer 5 million shares of its Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock in a public offering. The offering is subject to market conditions and is registered under the Securities Act of 1993. The company currently aims to use these proceeds for general corporate purposes, which include acquiring Bitcoin and supporting working capital needs.
Strategy’s Dividend Structure
The Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock will accumulate cumulative dividends at a fixed rate of 10% per annum on the stated amount. Regular dividends will be payable quarterly in cash, stating from June 30, 2025. If at all, dividends are not paid on their scheduled dates, they will accumulate additional “compounded dividends” at an increasing rate potentially reaching up to 18% per annum.
Redemption Rights
According to the press release, Strategy has the right to redeem all outstanding shares of its preferred stock under certain said conditions, such as if the total number of shares falls below 25% of the original issuance or if specific tax events occur. The redemption price will equal the liquidation preference plus any accumulated unpaid dividends.
Fundamental Change Cause
In the event of a “fundamental change,” the shareholders can require Strategy to repurchase their shares at a cash price which is equal to the stated amount plus any unpaid dividends. The initial liquidation preference is set at $100 per share.
Managing Firms and Investor Access
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Moelis & Company LLC are working together to help Strategy raise money. They filed paperwork with the SEC, and interested investors can learn more on the SEC website or by contacting these companies directly.
This move by Strategy shoes its confidence in Bitcoin and gives investors new opportunities towards financial growth.
