In a continued push to expand its Bitcoin reserves, Strategy has unveiled a new preferred stock offering aimed at raising hundreds of millions to fund its next wave of crypto purchases.
Bitcoin-focused firm Strategy has announced a new $711 million preferred stock offering as part of its ongoing efforts to grow its massive BTC holdings. The shares, priced at $85 with a 10% coupon, are part of the company’s strategy to raise both equity and debt to fuel its treasury accumulation of Bitcoin.
The latest move follows Strategy’s smallest-ever BTC acquisition on 17 March, when it purchased 130 Bitcoin worth around $10.7 million. This brought its total stash to 499,226 BTC, valued at over $41.8 billion. Despite the modest scale of the recent buy, co-founder Michael Saylor has reaffirmed the company’s intention to aggressively raise further capital to keep adding to its reserves.
Earlier in March, Strategy launched its 8% Series A preferred stock programme, with plans to raise up to $21 billion for future Bitcoin purchases. The firm appears to be attracting investors with returns that outpace traditional bond yields, enticing them away from conventional debt markets.
While the company remains up roughly 26% on its Bitcoin investments overall, its shares have experienced sharp fluctuations, dropping 44% since their peak in late 2024. Nonetheless, a recent rebound saw shares rise to around $299 after dipping to $231. As part of the Nasdaq 100, Strategy is seeing increased exposure to both market gains and tech sector volatility.
