Michael Saylor’s Strategy Offers Preferred Stock to Buy Bitcoin
Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. announced a plan to offer 5 million shares of Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock to fund Bitcoin acquisitions.
Offering aims to bolster Bitcoin holdings amidst industry volatility, reflecting enduring investment commitment.
Strategy Launches $499 Million Stock Offering
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, revealed the company’s intent to raise capital through a stock offering to bolster Bitcoin acquisitions. This latest initiative involves issuing 5 million shares and underscores Strategy’s consistent approach since 2020.
Strategy’s latest acquisition includes 130 BTC at $82,981 each. The firm holds approximately 499,226 BTC, emphasizing its long-standing focus on digital asset accumulation despite market fluctuations.
“Strategy has registered an offering of up to 5,000,000 shares of Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock (STRF) to raise capital for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Bitcoin.” – Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman, Strategy
Stock Price Rallies 5% on New Share Announcement
The announcement of new shares spurred a 5% increase in Strategy’s stock, highlighting positive market reception despite Bitcoin’s recent difficulty in maintaining upward momentum around the $84,000 level of resistance.
Financial analysts express mixed views, with some anticipating prolonged market corrections. Strategy’s new stock offers 10% annual dividends, promising returns even in volatile conditions.
Shift to Smaller Bitcoin Acquisitions Since 2020
Strategy’s smallest acquisition since 2020 highlights a shift towards smaller, strategic purchases compared to previous larger buys. This approach mirrors cautious moves amid uncertain bullish trends.
While Strategy persists in Bitcoin investment, CryptoQuant’s CEO predicts a potentially bearish cycle, suggesting holders may need patience given possible sideways market actions.
