The company plans to increase its stock issuance scale from 500 million to 2 billion dollars, intending to use the proceeds to increase its Bitcoin reserves, which currently hold 607,770 BTC.
According to a report by Bloomberg yesterday (24th), Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) plans to increase the issuance scale of its Series A perpetual preferred stock (STRC) from 500 million USD to 2 billion USD to increase its BTC reserves.
It is said that this issuance involves Strategy’s STRC preferred shares, with an initial dividend of 9%. The issue price is $90 per share, below the face value of $100.
The plan will also include 5 million shares managed by banks such as Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Moelis & Company, and TD Securities.
According to reports, Strategy will use the net proceeds from this issuance to increase its Bitcoin holdings and for other business purposes. This is not the company’s first time expanding the scale of its stock issuance to strengthen its Bitcoin purchases.
It is expected that the ranking of STRC will be higher than the Strategy’s Strike and Stride preferred stocks and common stocks, but still lower than its Strife preferred stocks and outstanding convertible bonds.
Previously, Strategy invested approximately $740 million on Monday to acquire 6,220 BTC. The company currently holds about 607,770 BTC, which is worth over $72 billion at the current price of Bitcoin.
Strategy is a leading Bitcoin asset management company, whose BTC holdings rank first, followed by more than 140 listed companies. According to data from Bitcoin asset management companies, these companies collectively hold 918,133 BTC, worth approximately 10.9 billion dollars.
More and more companies plan to follow the strategy set by Strategy and include Bitcoin in their reserves.
However, more and more companies are turning to treasury focused on altcoins, holding top digital assets including Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and Solana (SOL).
Today (25th) in the Asian morning session, Bitcoin is currently reported at around 117,470 USD, with a daily decline of 1.33%.
