Strategy, the business intelligence firm helmed by Michael Saylor, said Friday it is expecting to raise approximately $711 million via a “Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock” offering, with net proceeds earmarked for Bitcoin purchases and general operational funds.
The preferred stock will accumulate cumulative dividends at a fixed rate of 10.00% per annum in the stated amount of $100 per share. Regular dividends will be payable quarterly in cash when declared by the company’s board of directors, beginning June 30, 2025.
Morgan Stanley, Barclays Capital, Citigroup Global Markets, and Moelis & Company LLC are serving as joint book-running managers for the offering. AmeriVet Securities, Bancroft Capital, BTIG, and The Benchmark Company are acting as co-managers.
The liquidation preference will initially be $100 per share, with adjustments made after each business day based on various factors including the stated amount and recent trading prices.
The company maintains redemption rights for all shares if the outstanding amount falls below 25% of the total shares originally issued, or in case of certain tax events. Holders will have the right to require the company to repurchase shares in the event of a fundamental change.
